The Rathskellar

  Rolling Rock

@ The Rathskellar
AKA The Skellar
State College, PA

In my youth, there was only one bar and one lager that I can drink  for hours and hours and hours and that was at the Rathskellar Beer Garden in State College, the hometown of Penn State University.  When I was a student there, Rolling Rock was sold by the case for $5. You were given a bottle opener but that had a fifty cent deposit.

A group of us would skip class on a Friday afternoon and  park ourselves in one of the booths and spend the afternoon, engaged in one case study after another.

The bar doesn't sale cases anymore and I could no longer sit there and make much of a contribution to  drink a case of beer.  NowI can  only drink one pony bottle (7ozs) for tradition.  But then, that's it. I'm done and ready to move on to something more flavorful than a lager.
