I recently read your findings about the truth about the meaning of the 33 on the bottle .Being a member of one of the former brewmasters family I’m sure that is not the reason. ---

Wecome to the boards, **dice33**. I moved your post to **Comments on Cecil’s Columns** , which is where you post comments on Cecil’s columns. 🙂 Also, to help people follow along, it’s considered good form to post a link to the column you’re talking about. You can simply cut and paste the url like this…[http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2\_044.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_044.html), or you can dress it up by coding it like this [Why is there a “33” on Rolling Rock beer labels?](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_044.html) Please tell us what you know about this. It’s a pet project of mine that I’ve spent over 50 hours on. ---

And, before this turns into a rehash of other replies to Cecil’s column, I’ve done a quick search of previous threads: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=906071](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=906071) This will allow guests to read previous threads, since they don’t have to ability to search. ---

Also, as a pointer to the newcomer, it doesn’t do around here to merely assert or deny something without justification. I could say I invented Rolling Rock – that doesn’t make it so. If Cecil’s answer is wr… less than complete, telling us what the “real” reason is would be appreciated far more than your opening statement. ---

> [@Measure for Measure](#): > > I’m getting, “Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.” I’m working on it. I coded it right. There seems to be a decay problem overnight.
