I WAS a loyal RR drinker, but I’m not so sure now since it will be brewed with Newark water. ---

I quit drinking a while ago but it is kinda sad to see this happen because rolling rock is so closely tied to latrobe pa. It just isn’t right for it to be made somwhere else. As far as PA beers go it’s been awhile but straub is probably the best, with rolling rock being as good as any mainstream beer. I would have to put yuengling pretty close to last. don’t care for yuengling at all ---

Victory Brewing is not so well known but has the finest brewed beers in PA. As close to freshly brewed as you can get. One of my favorite seasonal brews out of Victory is the called Old Horizontal. It is a barley wine with 10.5% alcohol. Golden Monkey, Hop Devil Ale, Prima Pils are their standard line up with a wide variety of seasonal beers. ---

> [@jinxxycat](#): > > but old no 33 has its mystery I think (not being a native pittsburgher…) My vote still goes to… The number of words in the brewing pledge on the back of the bottle total 33 words. (“Rolling Rock, from the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you.”) Or possibly the end of prohibition in 1933. ---

For anyone who is interested… There will be some sort of protest at a “sports bar” in Latrobe. The Rolling Rock workers are trying to fight back. There are only 2 “sports bars” in Latrobe… They are about 1 mile apart on route 30 if you want to go… Dino’s and Sharky’s ---

No one really knows what the 33 stands for… but most people think it is because when the label maker was creating the label maker… there were 33 words and it was simply a mis print. There is also… 33 original founders 33 original ingredients pro-abition ---
