    So for all of us that turn on our signs say once a week or every other week
    For about eight hrs at a time this could be hurting them?

    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Rolling Rock? I grew up about 30 minutes from Latrobe, PA, where the original “glass lined tanks” brewed it. That’s about all we drank in high school/college. They sold cases of 7 ounce painted bottles (yes, the bottles were painted, not wrapped in a decal) in cases of 42 bottles that were called “Super 42s”. We would get a few of those, fill up a plastic trash can with ice and water, and put those little bottles in. We would play euchre and gamble all night long crushing these 7 ounce bottles that were ice cold. Soooo good!
    And then they sold to Anheuser Busch, they shut down the original plant, and moved production to New Jersey. Beer started tasting like shit. AB ruined the flavor and made it a chic yuppy beer through marketing. My friends and I, and everyone else in Western PA, ehave long since stopped drinking it. A few years later, I saw some reports that AB was trying to sell the Rolling Rock brand off because sales plummeted so hard. Ask anyone from Latrobe/Pittsburgh about Rolling Rock gand they will tell you it’s terrible now, and probably get a “eff AB” comment along with it.
    I’ve picked up a six pack here and there over the years for old times sake…I usually drink half a bottle and throw out the rest. I don’t even waste my money now. To see that it’s popular in Canada has me questioning two things: 1) as much as Canadians are known for their great taste in beer, maybe that’s not true, or 2) AB is producing the original recipe specs in glass lined tanks with good Canadian water instead of crap New Jersey water these days. I hope it’s the latter!
    Anywho…I am shocked to see that Rolling Rock is popular in Canada.

    I totally agree with this Blitzburgh99 I stopped buying it also after the change. They’re now brewing Iron city and others at Latrobe now which is about to change also. If you remember the old PPG plant in Crighton/ Tarentum area this will be the new Pittsburgh brewery.
    What area are you from? I grew up in the Irwin area and now reside in Greensburg.

    Quoted from dirkdiggler:

    Amazing how neon has lost it's way as advertising over the years. Going thru my parents euopean scrap books and check out Amsterdam in 1970

    Quoted from KING-HENRY:

    So all I got was, led sucks’. Not a single compliment on my king Henry’s arcade design. I’m outta here.

    I like it also!

    Quoted from Gotpins:

    I found this one. I think it’s “melt your face off” awesome. My wife thinks it’s “dumb”. What do you guys think? This link shows one in action since I can’t post a video.

    Very cool
