but it's not so bad actually:

City Brewing wants to start making beer and sports drinks at the brewery as early as January.

Hee hee - I was thinking the same thing. The ONLY good thing about Rolling Rock is the cool painted bottle - the beer itself is swill. Maybe the displaced workers can go work at a club soda plant, since that's essentially the same product as Rolling Rock.

Damn, Rolling Rock was pretty good for a cheap beer.

I loved rooling rock beer (when I drank) too bad about the workers. I hope they will really re-open it and bring back all the old workers and not hire all new ones.

If City Brewery buys Latrobe, they're in good shape.

After two, The Rock would give me a headach everytime.

Oh wow, surprising. I actually liked Rolling Rock Green Light...mostly because it tasted like water, since I hate beer.

At least I've got Heineken Light to get me by now.

yeah cuz yuengling is brewed in pittsburgh, not pottsville.

Rolling Rock is trendy ****** beer though, so no big loss. As long as we still have Iron City though...
