Not the greatest beer in the world but I’ll buy a six-pack just to stick it to the union thugs.

Y-ling is actually drinkable if it’s from the tap.

I LOVE my Yuengling

Didn't Anakin Skywalker kill all the yuenglings when he turned to the dark side?

Funny thing, for years after hearing the name of the beer I thought it was made in China so I never drank it. About a year ago someone from PA set me straight. Yuengling(Pronounced YingLing), means young man in German and has been brewed in PA for almost two centuries. From that day on it's been about the only brewski I drink.

LOL...don't worry, many people at first assume it is a Chinese beer. I grew up a few hours north of Pottsville, in Binghamton, NY, and Yuengling has been available for as long as I can recall.

Oh trust me, not telling me anything I don’t know.

Father in law was a teamster, even the local chapter president for a while... worked on the maintenance and road crew for a local municipality. Then he got hurt on the Job and could no longer work, the Union just blew him off...

They have it in South Carolina. I can’t find it in New England. I like it - I think it would do well in this market.

They have it in a very limited number of shops here in Connecticut, mostly in the far western part of the state, but only in smaller convenience stores, in the smaller towns.

I live in SW Pennsylvania and I love my Yuengling Traditional Lager! As my biker buddy would say:”This beer is the cat’s A$$!” About 3 months ago I stopped at my local distributor and the owner gave me a Yuengling T-shirt because he said I was his best customer.

Just last week I was talking to a guy at my favorite watering hole about Yuengling (I was drinking it) and the guy told me he did some work for Dick Yuengling (not the business) and that he’s a good guy. He said Dick’s daughter’s husbands have to sign prenups and if they work at the brewery they do the grunt work like anybody else.

Maybe Old Chicago has it in their World Beer Tour?

The Yard House is about 12 miles from me. Actually in Palm Beach Gardens. Excellent place. Been there several times.
