The Steeler Nation Loses a Friend...

I had to crack a cold one to write this little blurb. For months now there have been reports saying that the Latrobe Brewery was to be sold and that Rolling Rock would be brewed somewhere outside of Western PA. It seemed that every newspaper account was slightly different, and I basically just took a wait and see mind set. It is now official. The brewery has been closed, and our beloved Rolling Rock will now be brewed in Northern Joisey. You know, Giants and Jets country. Ugh... Rolling Rock was one of the founding partners for Heinz Field, and something that we grew up with. It will be strange not to have Rolling Rock be a part of this in the future. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens with everything. The Rolling Rock web site is down, and as a result, I have removed the Rolling Rock site from the blog until further notice.
