My husbands favorite beer! Their quality control has to improve though, he has to sniff each opened beer because he occasionally gets a “skunk”.

That is usually handling and light exposure more so than quality. Now if it smell like bandaids......

That’s usually indicative of a distribution problem, not a problem at the brewery itself.

I’ve never once had a skunky Yeungling... but I live in Pittsburgh, just across the state from the brewery. Usually Skunky means the bottle was sitting somewhere too long, not that it was bad at the brewery.

Bad rotation at the distributor, or the bar most likely.

"Their quality control has to improve though, he has to sniff each opened beer because he occasionally gets a “skunk”."

Thats the classic sign of a beer thats not a top seller and the store holding onto it too long.

If I stop at a place where I don't know what sells well, I'll stick with the known brands because they'll always rotate (move) stock pretty quick.
