I CAN TELL YOUR NOT FROM PA.
Around Philly you walk into a bar and order a “lager,” it’s understood you asked for a Yuengling.
My favorite beer, hands down.
Their Octoberfest is incredible.
I think the folks out west will, for the most part, enjoy Yuengling as long as Molson Coors doesn’t screw it up.
Prosit!
Once at a function with a cash bar they wanted to charge me the import price for a bottle of Yuengling. I had to educate the ‘bartender’ that it was made in Pennsylvania.
I CAN TELL YOUR NOT FROM PA.
I’m from PA and love Yuengling on tap. Get them all the time at the local tavern. Wings and Yuengs forever!
My grandfather used to drink this beer along with other PA faves Stegmaier and Bartels, because it was cheap beer and he was beyond cheap. I’ve never been able to drink Yuengling because it was the cheapest of the cheap. Odd seeing it so popular now.
This is a different recipe. Same brewer, different recipe.
Yeungling is the best!
I’ve heard many recommendations for Yuengling over the years, but I can’t find it around here (western Wisconsin).
A convenience store I stop at regularly has a really nice, somewhat rotating selection of obscure beers and microbrews. I saw Yuengling there at least once in the past, probably a year or two ago, but didn’t buy any. Looked for it more than once recently and no dice.
I get there in the early evening after the boss honcho has left for the day. I know if I ask the high-school kids who are working when I get there to tell the boss to order some it won’t go anywhere.
So, to this day I have never yet had a Yuengling. There are bigger, full-line stores I could check, but they’re out of the way, and that involves 80 miles round trip and half my day off running around. Yaaaggghhh.
What's up with that?
I find many of those beers undrinkable, and they charge an arm and a leg for it.
Last weekend was in Vancouver, BC, HAd a home brewed Pilsner and it was so hoppy I couldn't even finish 14oz glass for $9.95+ tax.
Totally outrages!
Grew up about 25 miles from the brewery. If you have a chance to tour the old brewery in Pottsville, make sure you get to visit the cellars. They had local coal miners dig tunnels into the mountain so the could store barrels in naturally cool environment. They even had a tasting room down there.
Nearest state to you (in Wisconsin) where they sell Yuengling beer is Indiana. However, perhaps when the expansion begins they will sell it closer to you.
