Rolling Rock has been bought out by A-B, and they've closed the Latrobe brewery and moved production to fucking New Jersey.

Bye-bye 33.

Rolling rock is horrific but at the price it sells at over here I do sometimes find it too hard to ignore (the equivalent of like a dollar a bottle).

You used to be able to get a case of Rock bottles for like $15. 63 cents a beer is mighty nice, even for American pisswater.

Think that is referring to Imported Moosehead--it tastes as horrible if not more horrible than Heineken. Fucking nasty crap beer.

Rolling Rock is cheap pisswater...

Yuengling is good stuff--it was a nice companion last year in NYC.

Both sides of my family are from PA. My dad is big on getting Yuengling beer when it's available on the west coast. There's a Philly Cheesestake place that has it in Vegas. Gotta get a Cheese Steak, Yuengling and Tastycake whenever we go there on a visit.

Yeah, I drank far too much of that crap in high school. I think there's a hormone that your body starts producing at the age of about 20 that makes Mickey's taste like bongwater. The smell of that stuff makes me nauseous today.

Sueven · Post by **Sueven** » August 2, 2006, 11:49 am

I'm from Pennsylvania, and Rolling Rock has never been a particular favorite of mine. I'll drink it over, like, Busch Light or something, but it's pretty nasty.

Yuengling, on the other hand, is awesome. I live maybe an hour from the brewery, and around here, you can just hold up a finger, or ask for a pint, and the bartender will bring you a yuengling.

Hearing all this talk of rolling rock and cheesesteaks and yuengling and tastycakes brings a tear to my eye. I have consumed all of those things quite recently.

While I love yeungling and keep a 12 in my fridge at almost any time. I like Presidente even more (somebody posted a picture of it earlier) and at least you can fucking buy that down there in Atl! Not only that, but you have a Waffle House on EVERY corner!

Are you kidding me?? I bet I could name 20-30 beers that are worse. Anything from Budweiser or Miller is worse. That is like 40 different labels right there. I for one used to drink Rock when I couldn't get any imports or micros. I won't drink bud in a green bottle though. That shit is just nasty. As for Miller, I lived in Milwaukee for 3+ years and if you ever saw the water there it would make you sick.

I freakin' LOVED RR back in High School. As I was still developing a beer taste it was wonderful. One of my best friends extended family lives there and is somehow related (second cousin or something) so when they would visit they would bring back cases upon cases of RR. Loved and actully if I'm going to drink a lot, like watching football for 8 hours or something with the guys or I'm doing a lot of work outside... I still grab a case every so often.

Right now I tend to favor Fat Tire

cheers to the Arrogant Bastard Ale

I meerly was pointing out a good beer in green, which for some reason makes beers bad?.

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » August 3, 2006, 12:02 am

For bottling beer, clear and green bottles allow more spectrums of light to penetrate, thus degrading the quality of the contents at an increased pace.

If you brew your own beer, always use brown bottles for that reason.

Still though, sometimes a mexican beer with a wedge of lime hits the spot.

Going to move this derailment over to general for beer discussion.

rolling rock is gross...but there is NOTHING, NOTHING that can compare to the sheer disgust of natty light, having to drink natty light was our penalty for losing in beer pong at the frat house...i rarely ever puke from alcohol, but after chugging down a few of those i puked not from alcohol, but from the sheer disgust of that vile vile beverage

of course i make this post having a spaten in my hand....mmmmmm spaten soooo goooood

Just two will knock you on your ass. The problem is, it's so awful tasting that it may knock you on your knees in front of a toilet bowl as well. It's a big hit at the Newark train station's package store from what I understand.

I'm sorry but that beer tastes like someone shit on a pinetree and filtered it through used toiletpaper with their own piss and then bottled it.

Yea I guess they don't do the Fat Tire on the east coast because of the alcohol content. I sold a deal to a guy in Atlanta who use to live in Phoenix and that was his favorite drink... can't get it in Atlanta. He was here in Arkansas one night and freaked when he saw it on the menu... while trying to close the deal I always rememberd to take a few with me on my trips for him... heh felt like the "Bandit" now if only I had a hot rod 1978 Trans-Am with T-Tops I'd be set!
