PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - "The residents of Pittsburgh are almost as passionate about this iconic square torte as they are about football," Food Network says about Prantl's Burnt Almond Torte. "It's been an integral part of the city since the 1970s, when baker Henry Prantl — inspired by a trip to almond-producing California — returned home with a vision of a cloudlike cake filled with custard, iced in buttercream and covered on all sides with crunchy slivers of sugared almonds."
The Food Network named Prantl's Burnt Almond Torte the "best cake in Pennsylvania," one of the many awards that the torte, and bakery itself, has been given over the years.
Now, the famous torte is taking on a new role—becoming a ale!

While the above Instagram announcement says it will be available in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, it has to make its way to Pittsburgh eventually too, right?!
