Under the agreement announced by the two companies, Anheuser-Busch will use the brand to expand its portfolio of products and begin brewing Rolling Rock and Rock Green Light in August.

Meanwhile, InBev said it will sell its brewery in Latrobe, Pa., to focus its U.S. business on imported beers and is currently in discussion with potential buyers.

Let me understand this. Bud is buying the Rolling Rock lable but not the Latrobe brewery? They will brew it in their MacBreweries around the country, but not in Latrobe?

Sad if this is the case. Another fine local brewery gets swallowed by Big Beer. I'll miss my Rolling Rock.

That is correct. A-B's "Rolling Rock" will be as genuine as a wooden nickel. July 31 is the deadline.

From this link:

Anheuser-Busch, the nation’s largest brewer, said it will begin producing Rolling Rock and Rock Green Light in August at its Newark, N.J., facility, one of 12 breweries across the country.

It's JUST SAD.
