Question:

What does the number 33 mean on the inside of a Rolling Rock beer bottle mean?


Answers: A common theory is that the 33 on Rolling Rock's label is because prohibition was repealed in 1933, while another was that there are 33 steps leading to the church at St. Vincent College in Latrobe where the brewing company was a big donor, but the former CEO of Latrobe Brewing company explained that it stands for the 33 words in the beer slogan: "Rolling Rock: From the glass-lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyjment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you." A former worker at the company wrote the number on the bottle label's draft before sending it to the printer to indicate that there would be 33 words there, but the printer mistakenly printed the labels with the 33 on it instead of the slogan. As it was the great depression, the company didn't want to just toss out the labels since money was tight, so the labels stayed, and have remained that way. In fact, the tradition is so strict that even the slogans for the labels for the low-carb Rolling Rock beer are carefully written to contain only 33 words. It is for the 33 word in their slogan althoug some believe it is because of when prohibition was repealed. Here's a link. duuuude dont drink it!!!!.....7 years bad luck! So sorry. The number 33 is printed on bottles of Rolling Rock. A widely believed explanation is that prohibition was repealed in 1933. However, according to James L. Tito, once CEO of Latrobe Brewing, the 33 signifies the thirty-three words in their slogan, which are: "Rolling Rock From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you." there is no real answer. some people speculate that it refers to the # of words on the back of the bottle "we tender this premium package..." others say it was the original owners age when he made the beer. The 33 on the Rolling rock bottle stands for 1933. It is said the true meaning has never been disclosed, but it makes for a good conversation.
