Rolling Rock is/was "From the Glass lined tanks of old Latrobe, PA" about 100 miles fom Philly. They were bought by Labatt from Canada.
If you want true "Philly" beer from yester year it would have to be Schmidt's or Ortliebs. Preferably in a quart bottle, on a neighbor's front stoop, in August, when the temp is still 85 degrees at midnight and the humidity is in the low 90% range.
