Well, I may be late to this party since I haven’t had Rolling Rock in a little while (Though I think I had them no more than a year ago and at that time they were still painted), but it looks like AB-Inbev has nixed Rolling Rock’s iconic painted bottles. Instead, they are using clear sticker labels. |
pics? |
The times, they are a changing. |

I could peel them off also to demonstrate if anyone wants me to. |
CCC, do you even imgur or wat? |
Originally posted by Homer321 Don’t have an account with imgur. Is there an advantage to them versus Dropbox? This forum doesn’t allow people to embed pictures from anywhere, does it? I know some places you can embed an imgur pic right in the thread and dropbox you can only link to the photo, but I think the way this forum software is, I’d just have to link to imgur the same way I’m linking to dropbox anyway, right? If anyone wants to put them on imgur and put a link here for people who don’t want to click on a dropbox link for whatever reason, that’s fine with me. It’s just my hand holding up stickers and beer bottles against a white wall. |
Other breweries are following suit. Plastic peel offs are replacing a lot of paper labels as well. Southern Tier comes to mind, lots of others. |

You can post pics on the forums w/ Imgur is the main advantage. |

Sorry I didn’t read all the long responses so not sure iif this was covered yet. Years ago, like 15+, my buddy was setting up a fish tank. I suggested using a few RR bottles as decorations because of the painted label. Well over time the painted labels stsrted breaking down and started to peel off the bottle. Wouldn’t have been a big deal if the dissolved paint in the water didn’t kill all his fish. Oops!!! |
