Anheuser-Busch bought the brand, but not the brewery. Gonna make it in the states using different water.

It's already made in the states you ninny.

One brewery that isn't part of the deal. It's going to be made in NJ now.

Where is the proof???? I need confirmation... this is like telling me my grandmother just died, and you don't even know my grandmother (do you?).

And? It has laways been made in the states.

"Rolling Rock's roots go back to 1933 when the Latrobe brewing plant was reopened after Prohibition was repealed. "

Um prohibition was a US only thing.

Rolling Rock is brewed about 3 miles from where i grew up in Pennsylvania.

Latrobe Brewing Company
Latrobe, PA

It's always been brewed in the states.

Thanks for the link. I read the first article. I want to know which article says they will be using different water.

mardigras · 05-22-2006, 07:20 AM

This story is a bit different than what I saw earlier on the news
http://www.pennlive.com/news/patriot...910.xml&coll=1

The news had said that the sale included the brand name, logo, etc., but was not disclosed if the recipe was included. This article says it is. If they use a different water source the taste is bound to change.

WebairGerard · 05-22-2006, 07:24 AM

they will fuck up Rolling Rock for sure.

Sounds like AB is keeping it from going completely extinct.

"Rolling Rock's volume has fallen 25 percent over the past two years after its marketing budget was cut by more than three- fourths, said Levy. "

Unless they plan on doubling the cost of RR I highly doubt they will ship water into Jersey, they'll use the same source as their other beers. With good work on branding they can pull a Coke and write off the % of "purists" who remember the old taste and insist it is different.

not to worried about it anheiser bush makes some good beer

and the reason why anheiser bush flocked to newark,nj to make their beer back in the day was because of the water... newark supposedly has the best tasting water in new jersey i'm sure they purify the water before using it but i guess a good base helps

i live a town or two over and we get our water from a different water shed and it's horrible i won't even drink our tap water it's fizzes and bubbles when it comes out of the tap all the fucking chlorine and chemicals they put in the water

Dagwolf · 05-22-2006, 08:27 AM

I can't even imagine beer made with my well-water. --shudders--
