No. 3 - Rolling Rock 33

Bottles of Rolling Rock beer have a number "33" printed on them. There is no definitive conclusion as to what the mysterious number represents although some of the most popular reasons are:

1. The year that prohibition was repealed - 1933.
2. The highest rank of the Freemason society - the 33rd degree.
3. The brewery workers were members of local union #33.
4. The number of words (33) in the pledge of quality printed on the bottle: "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."
