I'm not even a Western PA guy (North Central), but my times at Penn State cemented...should I say CEMENTED my love for Rolling Rock.
God Bless Ya Latrobe, and Thank You for all you have contributed to this world (more than NYC). Arnold (The King), Mr. Rogers, and Rolling Rock is quite a resume.
I'm still spinning out my last few...

I spent my late teens and early 20s in south NJ outside Philly, and the green glass of a pony is forever associated with those good times...

Yep. It's a shame to see it pass, but a joy to have enjoyed it while it was here. Thanks for your thoughtful post on this -- most folks don't necessarily "connect" with a legendary beer, but I'm one like you who does.
Damn, that is a SERIOUS beer stash!
When I was at Penn State you got two of those smaller bottles of Rolling Rock for 45 cents at the Rathskeller. This was in the early '70s. I think they only sold them two at a time.
