Rolling Rock Extra Pale (1500th Review!) | Latrobe Brewing Co. | Beer Review |
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лис 2022
- Today's review is the 1500th review on the channel, and to celebrate this milestone review, I thought I'd take a look at a beer from the Latrobe Brewing Company, and they're under the Anheuser-Busch umbrella, and it's their Rolling Rock Extra Pale. Not only is this a classic American Adjunct Lager that you can typically find in the Northeastern part of the United States, but it's also the first-ever beer I had an entire bottle of in my life. The review is a bit longer than usual because of my personal story surrounding the beer, but hopefully you enjoy my take on this Pennsylvania classic!
Commercial Description:
Using a time-honored recipe with only the finest malted barley and blend of hops, Rolling Rock is a classic American lager that is as well-known for its distinctive, full-bodied taste as it is for its craftsmanship, heritage and green bottle.
Pertinent Information:
Brewery - Latrobe Brewing Company (Anheuser-Busch) (St. Louis, MO)
Beer - Rolling Rock Extra Pale
Style - American Adjunct Lager
ABV - 4.4%

Thanks for watching!
AVGN made me into rolling rock. It’s not my preferred one (Budweiser is my beer) and I like drinking it every once in a while. Cheers mate
Nice, man! I could see how AVN's influence could help folks try this one out. Glad to hear you enjoy it! Thanks for the comment!
Cheers!
Rolling Rock has been my beer of choice for 36 years now. If you ask my 37 year old son, he would tell you this is the only beer he has known me to drink. I didn't really notice a change in taste when the company was bought by AB in 2006. I drink it from a keg and from bottles. I have too many RR collectibles to switch brands now. Thanks for your review. Bottoms up !
Thanks for the comment, man! That is quite a storied history with this beer. Totally understand being loyal to the brand, especially if you enjoy it. I'll probably never enjoy this one, but that doesn't mean others can't. I always say to drink what you like, so here's hoping that next Rolling Rock is just as good as the last!
Cheers, dude!
I gave one of these to a friend who drinks miller light and he said that the rolling rock was too strong.I myself also thing that is a little heavier than Coors light but maybe it's just me.I love Rollin Rock
been waiting on this review since the coors banquet 1000th review video , my life is now complete . god bless
LOL, Roland! Glad I could *finally* come through for you, haha!
Cheers!
AVGN's beer! Wish you another 1500 reviews! And nice effect at 6:05 :)
That it is. Not sure how he loves it so much, but, uh ... to each their own, right? I didn't even notice that effect, but it's pretty hilarious. Thanks, brother!
Cheers!
Rolling Rock is part of my beer rotation it's a good beer when you're thirsty and goes well with all kinds of food.
Awesome to hear, Stephen! I can definitely see it pairing well with foods, for sure. Not my favorite, but we all have different tastes, so I'm happy you enjoy it.
Cheers!
I gave one of these to a friend who drinks Miller light and he said that they were too strong😂.I love Rolling Rock.
LMAO! RR is only 0.2% higher in ABV, so that is pretty funny. Glad to hear you enjoy this one, though! Thanks for the comment!
Cheers!
Congratulations on number 1500!! Here's to many more. Cheers!!
Thanks, Dustin! Always appreciate your continued support, buddy!
Cheers!
Congrats on 1500 reviews!!! My first beer was a Moosehead Lager, on a senior class trip to New York City no less, and I'll never forget the experience. Cheers!!!
Thanks for sharing, Wayne! I still enjoy some Moosehead. Haven't had it in a few years, but it's a damn solid beer. I love that so many people have shared their first beer experience. Definitely cool.
Cheers, buddy!
I am aligned with you on Rolling Rock. It's great when you mix in some macro reviews but it's all good stuff. Congrats on 1500! (Impressive.)
I'm glad that somebody does, haha! It wasn't as bad this time as the last, but still nothing I want to drink again. I might look into mixing more macro reviews in. We'll see. Thanks so much for the continued support, Rick!
Cheers, brother!
Congrats on 1500 reviews man! The first few years I got into beer it was almost exclusively craft beer and I hardly drank any of these cheaper AAL types, but as I've grown older I've found a place for just about everything. I'm a midwest guy so I'll either drink Hamms, Old Style, or PBR. Cheers!
Thanks, dude! Yeah, I pretty much dove head-first into craft beer, but I did have a few macro beers along the way. I feel that with beer, much like certain things in life, you start appreciating certain aspects -- and in this case, styles -- that you didn't understand or even care about previously. I can appreciate almost every style at this point, and I feel there's a certain time and place for any beer. I also understand why some folks love certain beers I don't, and vice versa. It's a beautiful thing. I appreciate the support, buddy! Thanks for sharing, too!
Cheers!
@@averagejoe716 " I feel there's a certain time and place for any beer" my thoughts exactly. I sometimes even have weird associations with certain beers I've drank in certain places/times of the year.
For sure, dude. Totally agree. I also realize that beer is subjective, and my likes/dislikes doesn't always equate with others. Somebody's trash is another person's treasure, you know?
Congratulations on 1500 reviews Joe I appreciate you 💯 and I been trying craft beers out myself
Thanks, Josh! I appreciate your continued support and comments, dude. Glad you've been getting into beer more and more. It's definitely a fun hobby!
Cheers, dude!
I just bought a 6 pack just to give this stuff a try. I've actually already tried one can when my brother let me have one of his about a couple years ago. I don't remember how it tasted. All I remember is that it didn't offend me. It was just drinkable to me. Hoping I get the same results with this 6 pack I bought.
Nice! Yeah, not sure what it is about this -- and Budweiser -- but something about them just doesn't do it for me. That weird astringency has always been there. I hope your six pack is solid, though!
Cheers!
Also drikning Rolling Rock ON the Roll N Rocker!!!
LOL! Of the numerous AVN references in the comments, this is the best!
Cheers, man!
just started drinking this beer again. its quickly becoming my fav light beer ever. I would have said it was miller lite or miller high life before but this seems to be easier on the stomach and smoother.
Glad to hear that you're enjoying it. This one will probably never grow on me, but I'm happy so many folks seem to enjoy it. I'd definitely take a High Life over this one personally. Dig that one very much! Thanks for the comment!
Cheers!
Heck Yeah! I LOVE storytime! Had a sip of Genesee from my father's beer can and the sweet age of 4 to see what all of the 'adult fuss' was about (well, a couple more since) and that put me off of beer until I was eighteen. Had Rolling Rock right before the buyout and my thoughts changed a bit (much-more preferred whiskey), had a Magic Hat #9 and found beer could be incredibly different and a whole different world ahead of me: So Rolling Rock also holds a special place in my heart as well. But enough of that... Seriously glad you tackled this, and would love to see you shake things up by reviewing Macro's from time to time in the future. And once again, cheers man!
It's funny that we have a very similar story with our first taste pretty much putting us off beer until later in life, haha! That is cool that Rolling Rock holds that distinction for you, though. I appreciate you sharing your story, as well! I'll try to tackle some macro stuff a bit more frequently going forward. Maybe like once per month or something. I do enjoy trying -- or re-trying -- a lot of them because I typically associate them with some sort of memory. I also appreciate the support!
Cheers!
Congrats on 1500! I mean Robert De Niro in The Deer Hunter, Angry Video Game Nerd, and Jim Gaffigan from the old commercials can’t be wrong. Although I think the taste changed once AB bought them in 2006. First sip was Old Milwaukee and first full beer was Coors Light but legally was Budweiser. Again congrats on 1500 and keep up the great work. Your reviews are honest and totally relatable and I look forward to watching them daily. Cheers to the next 1500 and stay safe with big snow coming.
Thanks for the kind words, Dan! I truly appreciate the continued support. I also love that you chime in frequently because it's fantastic to discuss some of these beers. Old Milwaukee, eh? Been a long time since I've had that. I can't speak to how this beer changed, as I've only had it a few times since the early 90s, but I just know I don't want another can of it, LMAO!
Cheers, brother!
Ah man I recently watched The Deer Hunter for the first time since they put it on netflix and that is a fantastic film. I don't love the beer like I do a Coors Banquet but it's much better than adjunct lagers like Budweiser or Miller Lite. I am in college so unfortunately at the moment I can't really afford craft beer, the only IPA I tried was a VooDoo Ranger and I hated the hoppy taste.
I can totally see that, Nick. The Deer Hunter is a great film! As for this beer, it's just one that doesn't resonate with me to this day. It's not horrible, but I can think of many other macro beers I'd rather have. Coors Banquet is definitely one of them, for sure!
Cheers!
Cheers to 1500 more!
Thank you so much! Much appreciated.
Cheers!
Great review! I live in PA and I have memories of drinking this beer in college. I would place it below Highlife & Coors Banquet for sure. I would love to see a review of Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale.
Thanks, Corbin! Yeah, I feel a lot of folks have different memories of this one, and drinking it while in college in PA makes total sense, haha! I haven't seen Lord Chesterfield Ale in a long time. I'll have to check around and see if/where I can get, but if I do, I'll totally give it a review. I appreciate the suggestion!
Cheers!
I enjoy Rolling Rock. My first beer was Molson Golden.
Thanks for sharing! Man, I haven't had Molson Golden in a long time. Might make for a fun review down the line.
Cheers!
my favorite of the macrobeers since 1998. Michelob is better on second thought. very crisp and clean and for this reason it goes great with food, especially heavy food like steak or burgers. when I was in college everyone loved Rolling Rock!
Nice! I still don't enjoy it, but to each their own. Always love hearing about folks' history with the beer, so it's cool you've been drinking it for over 25 years. Definitely a college beer, especially in PA, haha! I can imagine it'd go well with a ton of different food. Heck, I might even enjoy it with a nice burger, haha! I appreciate the comment.
Cheers!
For me this is a very light version of Heineken. If you passed me this and a Heineken light I couldn’t tell the difference not bad at all.
I could see that, but I much prefer Heineken. I would say this one almost drinks like Heineken 0.0, haha! Glad you enjoy it, though. Great to hear.
Cheers, man!
I love this beer 🍺
Awesome, Ed! Still not for me, but I always love to hear from folks who enjoy beers that I don't, and vice versa. Keep loving it, man!
Cheers!
Yassssss same
My first beer was lucky lager wow that was a long time ago probably around late 60s or early 70's. Cheers 🍺 🍻
I never had Lucky Lager. I think it's still sold in Canada, but I'm not positive. Thanks for sharing, Billy! Also, thanks for the continued support, man. It means a lot.
Cheers!
Yeah man once you go into German beers then come back to an American beer you can really taste all the different elements in the beer. I like a weinstephaner (wheat beer). Get a weinstephaner fill glass maybe a shallow third then thrill the rest with coke a cola. Enjoy. Cheers bud!
Yeah, comparing classic German beers to classic American macro beers is definitely unfair. Not even in the same league, haha! I love almost all of Weihenstephaner beers. Never mixed their Hefeweissbier with Coca-Cola, but that sounds refreshing! Thanks for the comment!
Cheers!
drank my share of Rolling Rock (agree with your assessment), keep up the reviews I enjoy them. cheers! lagers > , also as per corn in beer, check out some Mex style lagers they typically use corn and there are some great ones
Thanks! What is funny is I'm not a huge Mexican Lager guy. I haven't had some of the classics in many years, so maybe I need to give them a proper review at some point.
Cheers!
@@averagejoe716 I am referring to the craft versions of Mex Lager, of which here in Arizona there are many.
Ah, gotcha. I haven't seen as many, but that might be a fun thing to do. Heck, even compare some craft versions to the classic macro ones.
i drink this beer sometimes when im watching the Steelers. A few years ago I was going thru RCIA classes to join the Catholic Church and a priest told me if i was watching the Steelers I should have a Rolling Rock bc it originated in PA! Cheers
Thanks for sharing, Heath! Glad you dig this one while watching the Steelers. Definitely a beer that originated in PA, that's for sure!
Cheers!
I can't see Rolling Rock without thinking AVGN. Rolling Rock, Roll N Rocker, Rolling Rock ON the Roll N Rocker!
LOL! I hear you. I just can't get behind this one no matter how many times I try it. It's awesome that he loves it, though.
Cheers!
Someone some of this at my house after fourth of July, and i havent had it in about a decade. Its got a huge soapy off flavor to me.
I could see that soapy flavor. Maybe that's the weird astringency that I always get with it, too. Regardless, not a fan, and probably never will be, haha!
Cheers!
We appreciate the video, I think rolling rock drank from a glass bottle is far superior then in a can, cans are mainly best for float trips!
Thanks, Dustin! Yeah, I prefer it out of the bottle if it's not skunky, for sure. Still not a fan of this one, but I'm glad some folks out there like it. Thanks for the comment!
Cheers!
I live in the pacific nw. I found a store that sells Genesee cream aleand the red can. Not much of a beer drinker, but that's my go to. Tonight I'm gonna try rolling rock because AVGN drinks it.
Nice! Funny enough, I'm doing a review of the Genesee Beer (red/white can you're referring to) this month, and I'm comparing it to Genny Cream Ale, which is my go-to "cheap" beer. Should be fun. I've had both before, but my preference is the Cream Ale, but I haven't done an actual side-by-side.
AVGN loves his Rolling Rock, for sure, but it's one of those beers that just doesn't do it for me. Not horrible, just way down at the bottom of the list for my personal preference. Let me know what you think when you do give it a go. I'll be curious to see what you think! Thanks for the comment!
Cheers!
@@averagejoe716 the back alley store I go to has a black can of genesee. I tried it once, it tasted like I was drinking a metal can lol
I've never had the Black, but it's a malt liquor. Doesn't sound great, haha!
Congrats on 1500 reviews! (I know I already congratulated you on Untappd but doesn't hurt to throw another congrats). And yeah fuck it, Macro Mondays, go for it. Joe Senigaglia's been on quite a macro Lager kick lately so why not??
Twice the congratulations = I'm all about it, haha! Yeah, I think starting in the new year, I might do Macro Monday every two weeks or so. There's so many I haven't had in years, and others I've never tried, so it should be fun. Thanks again, Chris!
Cheers!
@@averagejoe716 Oh sweet! Yeah, should make things a bit more interesting on the channel. Not that your channel isn't interesting but I bet it brings other viewers to your channel!
Yeah, I honestly love doing variety reviews. It's a huge part of the reason I started doing more themed events like Western New York Wednesdays, 10 Days of Pumpkin, Shelfie reviews and Holiday reviews (coming next month). I think when assessing who would enjoy the channel, I'd like it to be for everyone: macro drinkers, craft drinkers who enjoy bigger breweries, those of whom enjoy specific styles, etc.
I think next year I'm going to work on reviewing more macro beers with Macro Monday, and I'm hoping to finally introduce Viewer's Choice Cellar Sunday. Kyle does Cellar Saturday, and I love watching it, and knowing I have a crapload of beers in the cellar, I think it'd be awesome. I need to kind of re-order it a bit more since all my beers are just in boxes, but once I do, I'm going to post a poll every single week of five beers and have viewer's choose what beer I review. I think a little more viewer interaction is always a good thing.
@@averagejoe716 Oh absolutely, you definitely have variety as it is. Those ideas would just bring your channel to another level, I think! Either way, as long as you're doing it because you still enjoy it, is all that matters man 👍
Believe it or not, I know a lot of BeerTubers seem to eventually hit the "it's not fun for me anymore" stage at some point, but as someone who has been watching BeerTube since late 2009, and has had their channel for almost five years, I can safely say I enjoy it as much -- or even more so -- than when I first got into it. Something about reviewing a beer and discussing it with other folks who enjoy the same hobby = tons of fun. I don't take it too seriously, and I just try to have fun with it. It's just a hobby, you know? I love it. I think also going through that open-heart surgery back in 2021 really opened my eyes to how much I missed it, too.
I haven't had a rolling rock in years.....I do however have some Miller lite and pbr extra in my fridge
Cheers Joe
I'd rather have both in my fridge too, haha! You're not missing much, IMO.
Cheers, Jesse!
Rolling Rock is legendary haha
Definitely a legendary beer, even if I'm not a fan! It's funny to see so many folks enjoy this one, especially since AVGN loves it, haha!
Cheers!
@@averagejoe716 Dude, you're a legend. I never would have thought I'd get a response especially one so quick. lol you've made this rolling rock session one to remember lol
Enjoy that Rolling Rock session, buddy! I try to respond to every single comment I get ASAP. A huge part of the channel is the interaction with other folks who enjoy beer.
@@averagejoe716 yes sir !!
I do Rolling Rock regularly. In Massachusetts you can get 18 packs for $12.99
Nice! Glad you enjoy it. Still not for me, but I love to hear from folks that like beers that I don't, and vice versa. I appreciate the comment!
Cheers!
@@averagejoe716 Absolutely! Cheers brother! 🍻
$19 for a 30 pack in Detroit Michigan
I always thought rolling rock had a slight sake taste to it a lot of rice used in brewing have not had it 20 years.
I could see that, Doug. Not sure exactly what it is about this one, but it's just not for me. I can see how people enjoy it, though. Thanks for the comment!
Cheers!
Haha rolling rock was my first beer as well😂
Nice! Did you enjoy it or dislike it like me?
Cheers!
Ehh I was in the middle. But I didn’t start to really enjoy beer till around 22
Gotcha.
I’ve had Rolling Rock many times before. But like you, I would not go out and buy it. Since I grew up outside of Pottsville, PA Yuengling Lager was my go to macro shelfie beer for many years.
Yeah, it's just one of those things where there's so many other macro beers I'd select over this. I much prefer something like Yuengling, without question.
Cheers, Ryan!
Rolling Rock was much better 25 years ago before Inbev bought it out and ruined it in my opinion. Back then It had a good and unique taste, now it tastes pretty bland like Busch Light.
I've heard the same thing, Ralph. That said, I only had it once before that (the story mentioned in the review), and I hated it, so I would've loved to try it beforehand as an adult.
Cheers!
I get a popcorn flavor
Yeah, I could totally see that. For me, it's like if corn soda existed. I mean, it probably does, but I'm talking about if it was a common thing.
Cheers, Chris!
Drinking this makes me want to go back to the past to play the shitty games that suck ass.
LMAO! AVGN strikes again! It's wild how many comments come from his fans, but it's so awesome. Definitely could see drinking some of this playing games of yesteryear, though.
Cheers!
