I thinks it's the number of words in the original saying.
From www.thestraightdope.com:
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which is not entirely coterminous with the REAL explanation, is that 33 signifies two things: the year Prohibition was repealed (1933), and the number of words in the legend printed above the number on cans and returnable bottles. I quote:
"Rolling Rock from glass lined tanks in the Laurel Highlands. We tender this premium beer for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you."

Maybe because rollin rock is owned by a European (Belgian) company , over there it would mean 33 cl , a volume measure.
Normally small bottles have 25cl and some other bottles can contain 33 cl. It's the quantity of a can of coke

No one seems to actually know. It's part of an ongoing urban legend. If you don't believe me, wait and see how many different answers you get!
