Rolling Rock
Rolling Rock was launched in 1939 by the Tito brothers, who had reopened the Latrobe Brewing Company in western Pennsylvania after Prohibition. For decades the beer was brewed in Latrobe with soft local water in glass-lined tanks, a detail still quoted in the pledge printed on every bottle next to the unexplained number 33. Labatt bought the brewery in 1987; Anheuser-Busch acquired the brand without the plant in 2006 and moved production to Newark, New Jersey. After Newark closed in 2026, brewing shifted to other Anheuser-Busch plants, and the brand is run from St. Louis.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
