Wednesday’s ad is for Rolling Rock, because it was today four years ago, in 2006, that Anheuser-Busch agreed to buy the brand from InBev. The Rolling Rock as from the 1960s, and it actually resembles a Coors ad from the same period of time, especially with its emphasis on “pure mountain spring water.”
Thanks for remembering the “glass-lined tanks of old Latrobe.” When A-B moved the Rolling Rock production to Newark, it put most of the town out of work. Rolling Rock has never been the best beer in the world, but it was a point of pride for Western PA.
Fuck AB and fuck ABINBEV.
