Nomination Title: Iron City Aluminum Bottle

   1. The date in 2004 on which this nominated package design was first distributed in the U.S.:

Tuesday August 24th 2004

   2. Briefly describe this nomination’s communications objectives and how it met those objectives (up to 100 words):

Pittsburgh Brewing was looking for a unique and distinct package to use  restage
it's Iron City Premium Lager brand. The 143 year old Iron City product had a loyal
following but did not connect well with younger users. Being the first brewer in
the world to convert an existing product from glass to an innovative aluminum bottle
attracted a younger demographic to the product.

The dramatic package gained world wide attention and met all the program
objectives as many new users were interested in trying the product in the "chill
chilling" aluminum bottle.
