Beer of Choice - Iron City or Rolling Rock?

[Snakester]

If they can sell budweiser all over the world then it's good enough in Pittsburgh.

Sales of Rolling Rock increased dramatically after the "Deer Hunter" came out in the '70's

I just want to know what the friggen 33 means.

33 is the number of minutes until uncontrollabe vomiting and bowel movements occur. Thats after just one of those nasty things. Divide by 2 as more are consumed. Also multiply by 4 the intensity of the result.

My whole family is from Pissburgh yet I have no loyalties to that team. ...but I will drink an Iron Shittybeer

Of the pennsylvania brews, Yeungling ain't too bad. I think it is the oldest brewery in the US?

Rocks

Back in 93 my wife and I did a 2 week tour of Great Britain.

One of the must see places (mine not hers) was a bar that was supposedly frequented by Jack the Ripper in East End London called Dirty ***** (luv the t-shirt).....this bar is now pretty much in London's business district and most of the people were stock market type professionals....as I sauntered to the bar looking for ale (only found warm stout) the bartender asked me about his only 2 American beers....."Say Yank.....we have a small cooler here with 2 of yer brews....Bud and Rolling Rock....what say ya about how good they are?.....I simply told him Bud has the market but Rock has better farts.....I'm not sure he understood but anybody who drinks RR can testify to the flatulence part.

You can't buy Rolling Rock in Arizona and expect it to be any good!

Exposure to heat and moreso exposure to sunlight - accelerated because of the green bottles. Turns "skunky" very quickly. National brands, such as Miller, are not impacted by exposure as much because they have breweries located regionally throughout the U.S.

Even more importantly Rolling Rock has never been as good since it was bought-out by one of the large Canadian manufacturers, Molsen or Labatt's, I think.

FYI - MOLSON

I bought RR once when I was living in PA (lived there for 33 yrs) and it still wasnt any good!!!!

I won't even drink RR if someone gave it to me!!!!! And im pretty open on beer, esp. if it's free!!!

Give me Red,White and Blue any day!!!!

And yes MOLSON!!!!!

Remember driving over to Trenton, NJ to go to this one liquor store to get Molson for like $9.99 a case about 20 years ago. It was a hush hush thing and you had to ask for it!!!!

You are correct. That is about the best I have tried. I rank that right up with a frosty mug of A&W the old way when they had those pretty girls roller skate up to your car.

Never heard of it, but Mad Anthony's is some good Erie brew.

Yup _ I had some at Smuggler's Wharf in Erie in Sept when I was back for a wedding, but we mostly drank Labatt's. A friend of mine used to own Rum Runners.

Yankee Clipper was a good Pitt brew.

Oh yeah, now you're talking! Their Black Cherry is very good also.

I also like Sarsparilla, I think the one that used to always be available here was Ol' Bob's Sarsparila or something like that. MMMMMMM.

Did we ever figure out the difference from Sarsparila and Root Beer? Is it like 7up and Sprite or what?

Fat Tire is everywhere, almost on the level of Miller or Budweiser.

Well, I wasnt sure. I know they wont ship anywhere they cant keep it cold.

So I ship it to a buddy of mine in Pitt in trade for Yuengling.

I havent been down in the desert since 98.
