Say goodbye to Rolling Rock beer
 

Anheuser-Busch bought the brand, but not the brewery. Gonna make it in the states using different water.

It's already made in the states you ninny.

One brewery that isn't part of the deal. It's going to be made in NJ now.

Where is the proof???? I need confirmation... this is like telling me my grandmother just died, and you don't even know my grandmother (do you?).

And? It has laways been made in the states.

"Rolling Rock's roots go back to 1933 when the Latrobe brewing plant was reopened after Prohibition was repealed. "

Um prohibition was a US only thing.

This news is almost a week old. Google is your friend.

damed double post

Rolling Rock is brewed about 3 miles from where i grew up in Pennsylvania.

Latrobe Brewing Company
Latrobe, PA

It's always been brewed in the states.

Thanks for the link. I read the first article. I want to know which article says they will be using different water.

This story is a bit different than what I saw earlier on the news
http://www.pennlive.com/news/patriot...910.xml&coll=1

The news had said that the sale included the brand name, logo, etc., but was not disclosed if the recipe was included. This article says it is. If they use a different water source the taste is bound to change.

they will fuck up Rolling Rock for sure.

LOL, CNN is just getting around to it:upsidedow

Sounds like AB is keeping it from going completely extinct.

"Rolling Rock's volume has fallen 25 percent over the past two years after its marketing budget was cut by more than three- fourths, said Levy. "

Ya that. Its a Pittsburg beer, always has been. It sucks anyways watered down yeast imo. And Im from Pittsburg area originally, but I still think it suxors. :winkwink:

Unless they plan on doubling the cost of RR I highly doubt they will ship water into Jersey, they'll use the same source as their other beers. With good work on branding they can pull a Coke and write off the % of "purists" who remember the old taste and insist it is different.:upsidedow

Ok, so what DO you drink?

never liked it anyway

Hey Air3k...you are from Latrobe??

I have some roots there also....the EX and my daughter...i am there all the time...

not to worried about it anheiser bush makes some good beer

and the reason why anheiser bush flocked to newark,nj to make their beer back in the day was because of the water... newark supposedly has the best tasting water in new jersey i'm sure they purify the water before using it but i guess a good base helps

i live a town or two over and we get our water from a different water shed and it's horrible i won't even drink our tap water it's fizzes and bubbles when it comes out of the tap all the fucking chlorine and chemicals they put in the water

I can't even imagine beer made with my well-water. --shudders--

well close jim. altoona.

i used to go to wrestling tournaments there in latrobe though. :)

its ok. Rolling Rock tasted like shit
