The official explanation for the number, which is not entirely coterminous with the REAL explanation, is that 33 signifies two things: the year Prohibition was repealed (1933), and the number of words in the legend printed above the number on cans and returnable bottles.

The 33 signifies the thirty-three words in their slogan, which are:
"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." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Rock

it's the number of words in the text above. it was handwritten on the copy before it went to print and the printer put it on the label and it's been there ever since. It's now a great sorce of urban legend like some of the answers above.
