Description: One of the more unique brands of beer has been Pittsburgh Brewing’s Olde Frothingslosh. It was invented as a joke by Pittsburgh radio station KDKA’s Rege Cordic in the early 1950s. The local brewer picked up the idea as a humorous Christmastime promotion and “the pale stale ale” ended up as the inspiration for about 30 different beer cans, most created specifically for collectors.

Remember it well, it was "Iron City" beer and back in the day was "low priced" (cheap sounds sooooo tacky) Did you know that KDKA is the only station east of the Mississippi to have K as the first letter of their call sign? Everything east of the river starts with a W but because KDKA was the first commercial broadcast station in the country (the old Westinghouse network) they got to keep their original call sign |
