Being from Pittsburgh, I will not drink it if it is made somewhere else. The whole town of latrobe is known for Rolling Rock Beer and Arnold Palmer. Those people will lose there jobs. Good Luck and 33...

Rolling
Rock is a well-loved gentle-spirited beer produced by a small Pennsylvania brewery that survived for a very long time as an independent before being bought out by Labatts in 1987. Over the years, this brew has gained widespread acceptance, becoming one of the few regional beers to carve a niche in the nationwide market. As it spread to new markets, the mystery surrounding the apperance of a cryptic '33' on its label spread with it.

The mysterious '33' has been on the Rolling Rock label since the beer's debut in 1939. One would think finding out where the '33' came from would amount to little more than a bit of digging in the file room of that brewery. Unfortunately, if the real reason for the name was at one time set down in the records of the company, it's long gone now.

In common with any bit of lore worth theorizing about over a brew, a number of "explanations" for that mysterious '33' have sprung up over the years, including:


It refers to 1933, the year Prohibition was repealed. (The 21st Amendment abolished Prohibition on 5 December 1933.)

It took 33 steps to get from the brewmaster's office to the brewing floor.

The number of words in the brewing pledge on the back of the bottle total 33 words. ("Rolling Rock, from the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you.")

It's the number of the racing horse pictured on the label.

The owner bet $33 on a horse (#33, of course) and bought the brewery with the proceeds in 1933.

There are 33 streams feeding into the reservoir from which the brewery draws its water.

Groundhog Day is the 33rd day of the year, and they make a big fuss over that holiday in Pennsylvania.

The number of letters in Rolling Rock's ingredients - water, malt, rice, hops, corn, brewer's yeast - adds up to 33.

Beer tastes best at 33 degrees. (It's just above the freezing point of water.)

33 is journalism jargon for "end of copy." (Actually 30 is the term for this, not 33.)

Rolling Rock was brewed at 33 degrees.

It's related to the highest level status (33rd degree) attained by Freemasons.

The workers at the brewery belonged to union local number 33
