ROLLING ROCK (George Vreeland Hill)

[George]

Right now, I am into Rolling Rock.

[fretlessman71]

I had a friend who drank Rolling Rock because he liked Rock 'n' Roll, and thought it was appropriate. And it was... for someone like him. Not the sharpest pencil in the drawer... :rolleyes:

[P-Train]

RR is what I drank for years.

Hey, color me bad but I actually still like it on occasion.

[Seymour]

I drank a ton of Rolling Rock when I was in college, still young and full of juice. It was considered top of the line back then to us shave-tails. You learn, you grow...

[hops99]

I recall going through a Rolling Rock phase about 12 years ago, and I drank it almost exclusively for a few months. It was one of the first beers that I'd tried in College that I thought tasted "different" from BMC - it was very dry. As a matter of fact, getting into "dry" beers was definitely a precursor to discovering better beer (I was drinking Sam Adams and Great Lakes within a year or so), and I drank alot of Kokanee (Western Canadian Labatt's) for a while as well - also very dry.

I can't remember the last time I drank a Rolling Rock or Kokanee - it's probably been at least 7 or 8 years.

[stronk]

I wouldn't clean my toilet bowl with rolling rock (it's about as effective as piss. I wonder why...).

[chazwicke]

Agreed. Rolling rock is no better than BMC in my book.

I probably wouldn't either, but I still have a soft spot for it. I wouldn't drink it unless my life depended on it these days, but back in college....

Actually, I recall swilling RR in cans playing drunk golf in college. Ugh...

[Fly Creek]

Although I don't really care for RR, I do have some fond memories of it back from the college days. There was a bar near Rochester, NY that served the 7-ounce splits by the ice-filled case to your table. Those were some quality benders (not sure that I could handle a hangover of that magnitude anymore tho...)

[ray m]

I kind of got into a little RR spell this past year, especially in the late spring and summer. About halfway into my third 6 pack of the season, I suddenly got turned off by it and never drank it again. The last 3 bottles went down the sink.

[hopjack13]

Right now, I am into Belgian Beers. :p

[MeridianFC]

Right now I'm into George Vreeland Hill. Spam on it brother.

[Stodbrew]

He kinda looks like the love child between Tom Petty and John Lennon.

[steveh]

I thought it was Owen Wilson. But then, that could be the same answer as Stod's...

George - we don't want to scare you away, we really enjoy teaching people about the benefits of good beer. And we all get ribbed once in a while, right Bruno? Right Bruno?

I'm not sure if there's a George at all. Do a search on the name and it comes up in tons of message boards. Might just be an internet gag. Though snopes.com had nothing on the name.

[steveh]

Think maybe the boys from Latrobe are trying to infiltrate? We'll know come Battle of the Beers time, won't we?

I'm already pulling for Gumballhead as champion.

hmmmm...

Oh, what a tangled web we weave....

[unkle bik]

For some reason, I never though RR would get cold enough to drink. Don't know why.
When people mention corn being used as an adjunct in beer, I think of Rolling Rock.

Latrobe, PA. Home of Rolling Rock. Nothing wrong with a few Rocks every now and then. Good lawnmower beer.

Cheers!

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. I'm not into it.

I prefer a Winter Warmer while throwing snow! You know? ;)

Said throwing, not blowing - no machinery but me own arms involved! ;)
