How about a Reborn II where ya bring Jack's dad back to life so that when it's all over, and Rasalom is toast, Jack, his dad, Gia, and Vicki can all sit and watch the sunset together, the men sharing a couple'a Rolling Rocks? Dad was all right and it would be so good for Jack to have his father in his life WITH his approval of Jack's livelihood. Something to think about...or just something for ME to think about. Heh.

Peace,

[SIZE="3"]Every war has causalties. This one is no exception. As for Rolling Rock, that's a casualty in the Anheuser-Busch war to control the beer industry. Jack is off RR since A-B bought the company and closed the Latrobe, PA plant. They're gonna make it in Newark, NJ along with Bud and Bud Light.

SACRILEGE!

Lemme tell you: I won't be drinking it and neither will Jack.[/SIZE]

Paul, I couldn't agree more about Rolling Rock being bastardized by the A-B mega-brewer. It's the saddest day in beer history since Duquesne Brewing went out of business over 30 years ago. I wish I could get Yuengling here in NW Indiana, but nobody carries it. I've gone to Smithwick's, Wexford (when I can find it) and my old stand-by, Guinness Draft.

Thanks for the reply. I know nothing of the monopolization attempt by Anheuser-Busch, but it doesn't seem out of the ordinary for corporations to try and grab it all! And it's a real shame too, 'cause i like the Rock and really dug the fact that Jack was into it.

...yet another casualty in Jack's life...damn, the guy is getting more than his fair share of abuse, huh?

Hey, I like Bud Lite! I'm offended that they would cheapen themselves by trying to produce a lager of Rolling Rocks stature! What are they thinking?

No Kidding! I can't tell you how PISSED I am about the death of Rolling Rock. I grew up on that stuff. We used to buy kegs of it for parties at Duquesne back in the early '70s (as well as Genessee and Genny Cream Ale). Iron City didn't impress us (but it's still around) and Duke beer had gone out of business. Sometimes life just sucks. :mad: Oh, and although I already don't drink Bud, I will now encourage others not to as well. So there.

Yeah, as a native Pennsylvanian, it was perhaps the darkest day in brewing since the Prohibition. RR was a nice crisp tasty refreshing beer. Who knows what it'll be now. But we can probably guess.

Same thing happened to Henry's, a northwest staple. Bought out by Miller. Yuck!
