It's a sad day for Latrobe, PA, for Jack, and for beerlovers everywhere:

I will soon be drinking my last Rolling Rock. Henceforth, it will be Rolling Rock in name only. Nothing more than a crappy macrobrew. Budweiser with a different name. Jack switched beers just in time. :mad:

That's the only beer the wife will drink! She loves those 7-oz pony bottles. Who can forget the spring-fed "glass-lined tanks" that provided the pure water for Rolling Rock!

Coors Light comes east in concentrate form in railway tanker cars and is diluted with Norfolk, VA water, carbonated, and bottled there (so I've been told). For me, any Sierra Nevada product, Saranac, Guinness, or Tupper's Hop Pocket from Old Dominion Brewery.

Three men, an Englishman, a Scot, and an Irishman, each ordered a Guinness and were served, but a fly flew into each of their brews. The Englishman just pushed his back with a look of disgust. The Scotsman picked out the fly, flicked it away, and took a sip. The Irishman picked out the fly and slapped it with his other hand, "Spit it up! Spit it up, now, ya bastard!"

But this is truely sad. Another company gobbled up by a competitor to put the competition out of business.

I quaffed many a RR in Brockport days, Biggles, but I always found it a little harsh and bitter to me buds. There was a local brew called Genesee I found much superior.

I drank a lot of Genesee Cream Ale back in the day. It was my fave premium ale. I always preferred RR to Genesee beer though.

Are you reacting to the news or to the jokes Effy?

Maybe Paul's Ybor Gold went down the wrong way.

I hate to upset you all but in my extensive (look, four whole days I spent there!) travels in the USA I couldnt find an American beer I liked, and I REALLY tried! Ended up with Adams Boston Ale (I think thats what it was called) but wasnt really keen on that either.

LOL!

That's funny.

Out of curiosity, did you try any Canadian beer?

I'm not a beer-lover, so I'm just curious.
