Rolling Rock had some financial issues and sold to one of the big Canadian breweries. They changed the recipe, which was an absolute disaster for the typical pony drinker. Gone was that hint of malt, replaced by an overpowering bitterness. It's a wonder they stayed afloat as long as they did but eventually the brewery was closed. The name was sold to one of our national swill bottlers and they crank it out of a Jersey factory.
Boy, there was nothing better on a Summers' day than packing 48 ponies in fish ice, getting together with a couple friends, and turning on a ball game.
They packed a pints worth of alcohol into those ponys too. I think. :)
It really had a unique flavor.
