Good beer. Popular here in Ohio.
As much as I like Yuengling, I prefer to support the many local craft breweries in the Valley of the Sun.
Maybe we will find Two Women Totally Naked.

Their Black and Tan is awesome.I do like the flight, also...
Your jib ... I like its cut.
Really? WOW. I was wondering if they were still around. I encountered it at a MLB stadium back in the day when I watched MLB.
Full disclosure: I don't like beer.
Yours ain’t bad either.
Best,

Although IPAs are still popular, the trend in craft beer is moving towards traditional lagers and pilsners (my favorite), which might explain why Yuengling is expanding its territory.
Agree on the Pilsner. I like the Italian Peroni a lot, but it is also part of the duopoly.
I discovered Yuengling while vacationing in Sunny Florida 30-some years ago. We would pack every bit of empty space in the car with the stuff when it was time to head back to Misery.
A few years back they began selling here and I drank enough of the stuff to float an ocean liner.
I don’t drink much these days. Racetrack weekends and an occasional get-together/BBQ/etc. at the house, but when I do want a beer it’s going to be either Yuengling or STAG, with a Ranger Imperial Voodoo (Mrs. Augie’s favorite) every now and then.
In Indiana, we had Killians(Coors) draft everywhere. Then Yuengling moved in and no more Killians.
We like their black and tan.
Yuengling landed in Missouri a couple years back. Sales still brisk. Good beer.
At the 2019 Badger-Gopher game, on ESPN’s College Game Day, a kid held a sign for the entire show that read:
“Spotted Cow is Just Okay”
Talk about fighting words.
Their lager is good. They make a nice Black and Tan.
The name "Yuengling" originates from the German surname "Jüngling," meaning "young man" or "youth". The founder, David Gottlob Yuengling, was a German immigrant who changed his name from Jüngling to Yuengling upon arriving in the United States. This anglicization of the name is believed to be an attempt to adapt the original German surname for American use, which may contribute to its unfamiliar sound to English speakers. The brewery was originally named Eagle Brewery and later became D.G. Yuengling & Son in 1873 when his son Frederick joined the business. The name "Yuengling" is not Chinese, despite its appearance, and the brand has been the subject of confusion and even boycotts due to this misperception. The brewery, established in 1829 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, is the oldest operating brewery in the United States and remains a family-owned busines
And;
The surname "Yingling" is not a traditional Swedish name but is derived from the German word "Jüngling," meaning "youth" or "young man". It is an anglicized form of the German surname, which itself may have evolved from variations like "Jäntschlin" or "Jentschlin," derived from the personal name "Jens" or "Jantsch," a short form of Johannes. The name likely entered the United States with German immigrants and was adapted into its current spelling.
While the name "Yingling" is sometimes associated with the ancient Swedish royal dynasty known as the Ynglings, this connection is based on a misunderstanding. The Ynglings were a mythological and historical dynasty in Sweden and Norway, descended from -Freyr, a god associated with fertility and prosperity. The name "Yngling" in this context means "descendant of Frey" and is linked to Old Norse sources like the Ynglinga saga and Beowulf, where they are referred to as Scylfings. However, the surname "Yingling" is not a direct descendant of this royal lineage but rather a phonetic adaptation of the German "Jüngling".
There is no evidence that "Yingling" is a genuine Swedish surname or that it has a direct historical or genealogical link to the Swedish Yngling dynasty. The confusion may arise from the similar-sounding names and the fact that both are associated with Northern European heritage.
The name "Yingling" is primarily found in German-speaking regions and among German diaspora communities, particularly in the United States.
There we be! Prost and Skol!
Interesting. My youngest brother and his 2 married kids with family all live there. We’ll, he just bought a house and his daughter moved in.
He will move there in a couple of years when he retires. Right now he’s pulling down big bucks in SoCal and working until his pensions kick in.
Our family lived in Ark from 1970. I left in 1984. We all left by 1995. My wife was born near Stuttgart.
When Great Grandpa Madsen came over from Sweden he changed his name to our current family name which means ‘New Mountain’ because he felt he was climbing a mountain by moving to America. (I LOVE that!)
On the OTHER side of the family, when that Great Grandpa came over from Germany he switched religions from Jewish to Lutheran because he didn’t want his future ‘American Family’ to have the persecution he endured. (God Bless Him!) He didn’t change our original German surname.
And then, as you know, I worked for the ‘Jung’ family for a decade or so. ;)
Yeah. I’m a mutt. Sworn to fun, loyal to none, LOL!
