One visit to the Skeller and you'd understand the whole Rolling Rock thing.
The Skeller and Penn State actually MADE Rolling Rock what it is today. They sold 7 oz ponies for years (see above history). Once back in the 80's, a PSU Grad was doing the main display window at Macy's in NYC and decided to put Rolling Rock ponies in the hands of the manequins (Gee, where did she get THAT idea??).
Overnight, it became the yuppie beer of choice in Manhattan bars and it's never looked back.
Personally, I like the beer. I buy it here in FL by the keg for my tapster. It's not light, not heavy, not cheap, not expensive. It's just right.
Is it OK with you that I actually like Rolling Rock?
If I had my choice, I'd drink Stella Artois, but it's a bit expensive by the keg ($125+).
Um, no. Hahahaha. Just kidding. I've only had it a few times and I'm not a fan but I really don't care what anyone drinks as long as they don't screw with my drinks. I was just screwing around. If you have one tapped tonight, have one for me.
I'm still trying to market smart pills but since rabbits were put on the endangered species list, it looks like an uphill battle.
You know, I often wondered why this cheap, bland beer all of sudden got so popular in my usual haunts in those days. Read FreeRepublic everyday, you always learn something new.
