Why is Rolling Rock the best beer of all time?!

We've got ourselves an unintelligent beer snob! Cute.

Rolling Rock wasn't bad before they started brewing it in Jersey. Now it sucks.

sorry, i didn't nominate Pyramid Hefeweizen. that's probably your fav, huh? oh wait, nah, you're a strawberry margarita dude, i can tell.

Because apparently you've only tasted about a dozen types of cheap beer.

Bad even by the low standards of PA beer.

I also enjoy Rolling Rock. Might not be the best beer of all time, but possibly the best beer for the money.

Too bad it's under 5% alcohol and therefore not allowed in beer miles

No longer a PA beer. Try to keep up.

Rolling Rock is very good. At that price range its better than Yuengling. If you go cheap their is no better beer in my opinion. A crisp pale pilsener with a little flavor and a nice frosty head. It reminds me most of the draft beers I had at the bars in Germany.

Agreed, best beer for the money. The beer snobs will disagree.

Rolling Rock is good if it's cold and you're already wasted. Also good for bonging. The word "Latrobe"... that's a place, and it's near my house, so it's cool you love Rolling Rock.

Victory, Yuengling, Weyerbacher, Tröegs...could do a whole lot worse.

Speaking of the best cheap beer, you can stay in state: Lionshead. Drunk puzzle solving anyone?

I like Rolling Rock, Then again, I don't like beer much. I always thought Rolling Rock was the beer that tasted most like water.

True dat hommie.

beer/buck = Trader Joes' "Name Tag" lager. /thread on that particular subtopic.

My mom is from Latrobe, and most of her family still lives in the area. I've been going to Latrobe for twice a year for as long as I remember. Might cut down on that now that Grandpa died. Actually just got back from my cousin's wedding in nearby Greensburg on Sunday.

Everybody used to drink exclusively Rolling Rock in Latrobe until they were sold off to Anheuser Busch. Latrobe is one of those places that has been slowly declining for decades, and mostly likely never will return to it's former industrial glory. Rolling Rock being bought out and brewed somewhere else was a huge hit to the town pride.

The beer is so-so. Your post is well above average. 7.5/10. Cheers.

Also, I should mention all the interesting history about Latrobe besides Rolling Rock. Arnold Palmer and Mr. Rogers both grew up in the town, they claim the banana split was invented at a local soda fountain in 1904, they also claim to the be the location of the first professional football game, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, six-time Super Bowl champions, still have their training camp at St Vincent's College in Latrobe. And pretty every member of my family that has been married was married at Saint Vincent's.

To live in Latrobe during it's industrial glory in the fifties and sixties would have been quite the uniquely American experience. I always hear about such wonderful memories from my parents' generation. But since then, it has suffered the same slow decline as many of America's industrial towns.

I wonder what will happen to America's smaller towns in the future. Will they take on the quaint village character of those European towns, existing for centuries, providing a home for persistent villagers through all the wars and growth and decline? What will become of the places that built this country into the most powerful nation on the planet?
