"Anheuser-Busch stopped making Rolling Rock in Latrobe in July 2006 when it moved production to Newark, N.J."

It's all real!

Sort of tarnishes the Mtn. Water image. You can't get better water then Newark Water!

Newark water comes from the mountains of Sussex county new Jersey just as New York's water comes from the Catskill mountains of New york.

Newark was a big brewing city because of the mountain waters. The newark water supply is in the NJ highlands and is of high quality. Newark's upstate watershed is huge, covering many counties and towns. Krueger, Ballentine, Pabst, Budweiser and others chose the location because of the water.

I preferred Old Frothingslosh - the beer with foam on the bottom.

Does Boston Beer/Sam Adams still pay radio contestants to have sex in churches during services? I remember they were big on this a few years ago.

support your local microbrewers and maybe they can expand and help support your local economy.

This scenario seems "skunky" to me.

The horses on the RR bottles were a disclosure as to the true source of the liquid inside.
