The Belgian combine InterBrew has sold the recipe and brand of Rolling Rock to Anheuser Busch. They will sell the brewery separately. It will no longer come from the mountain springs to you.
In a long and misspent life of beer tasting, I have had three that were better in cans than in glass: the old Andeker of America, Iron City, and Rock. I found it as pleasant a beer as you would find anywhere, and if you recognize that line you've been drinking it a while.

if one is SERIOUS about beer.. you invest about $100-125 in stuff and make your own.. I got some nice DARK 9% that I use in cooking.. its great for drinking as well, and as far as we have determined-not that we drink a LOT, its not got the stuff that gives one a hangover.. --Shiva--
Rolling Rock is one of my favorites & I am sorry to see them being gobled up by A-B.

1978, and was the 1982 Ohio Stout Champion. My specialty is a staged honey Trappiste, and I would still like to see Rolling Rock stay in business.
