PHILADELPHIA — Allen Iverson is a polarizing figure to many sports fans, but in Philly he's an icon.

And to celebrate the 76ers new season while also paying tribute to A.I., Misconduct Tavern and Yards Brewing Company have teamed up for a special beer and opening game watch party.

"The Answer," a practice-style IPA with notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pear and tropical fruit will make its debut Wednesday night at Misconduct Tavern as the Sixers open their season against the Boston Celtics at 7:30 p.m.
