Yeungling
 

Since I am out here in the southwest, we cant get yeungling here at all. people have tried to sneak it out here for me but to no avail. a cursory glance online comes up that I cant seem to find any retailers that ship it. Anyone else have any luck?? Or any ideas?

Re: Yeungling
 

IDK but we can't get it in the NorthEast either! I really enjoyed this beer when I spent some time in Fla...

Re: Yeungling
 

Can’t help with getting some to you, but I’ll be sure to drink a couple extra in your honor this weekend. Sunday around 1:00 might be a good time to uncap a few.:tu

Re: Yeungling
 

I didn't know what I had until it was gone (ie the year I spent in AZ). Great beer and sorry to you guys who can't get it but I sort of hope it stays relatively limited to maintain the quality.

Re: Yeungling
 

I live 1hr from Pottstown. It's my goto brew. I'd be glad to help you out, but don't think I can ship beer, right?

I'm a bit surprised you guys have trouble getting it. It's on tap in NYC at a lot of places. I've personally seen it as far south as North Carolina, and as far north as they drink beer.

Re: Yeungling
 

Unfortunately 3/4 of the states have no access to it:

Pissed me off when I moved to Ohio and couldn't get it even though it's brewed in PA. I feel for ya

Re: Yeungling
 

North Caroline last year on vacation is when I had it. Drank alot of that and the magic hat stuff too...

Re: Yeungling
 

Pottstown...I know where that is :D

Re: Yeungling
 

Readily available here in upstate NY. First time I had it though was at a party about 10 years ago. The host drove into PA, about a 20 min trip luckily, in order to get a keg. But couldn't get it without going over the border until about 5 yrs ago. Great stuff

Re: Yeungling
 

I'm no legal eagle, but I believe whether or not you can ship alcohol into a certain state depends on the laws within the state you are shipping it to. I know to ship alcohol into MA you have to have a MA distributor license. However, MA has some of the more strict alcohol related laws in the country.

Al brought some up for Vin when we had the BBQ HERF at Vin's house. Maybe next time he comes up he'll bring you a case if you're REAL nice to him. :D

I've always been curious about Yeungling. First because when the BOSTON Beer Company shut down in the 1960's Yeungling became the oldest brewery in the country. Second because they use corn to brew their beer. Using corn and rice (ingredients called adjuncts by brewers) really lowers the cost of brewing. So, I'm curious what effect that has on the flavor of the beer.

Sadly, we cannot get this beer in New England. :(

Re: Yeungling
 

for some reason, I knew you would post on this subject;)

Re: Yeungling
 

I thought the Boston Beer Company (a/k/a Sam Adams) didn't open until the 1980's? The whole owner shops it bar to bar story, right?


I was under the impression that Yeungling was the oldest operating brewery in the country and Molsen was the oldest in North America.

Re: Yeungling
 

Ya'll need to move to Mobile! Great weather & All the Yuengling you want! Great beer!:tu

Re: Yeungling
 

The name Boston Beer Co. went unused for about 20 years. It shut down in the 1960's. At that time, it was the oldest continuously operating beer company. When Jim Koch started up Sam Adams he recycled the name as an homage to local (Boston) beer history.

Not a lot of people know this but Boston was once the capitol of American beer brewing. In the year 1900, there were over 30 breweries in Boston which was more breweries per capita than any other city in the country at the time.

Re: Yeungling
 

Got a refrigerator full of it in the garage:dance:

Re: Yeungling
 

That is interesting, I am a bit of a beer nerd and I've never heard that before. Do you have any more information, google is not turning anything up for me...

Re: Yeungling
 

I love me some Yeungling but you can't get it in CT either. I make the occasional trip to NJ and stock up on a few cases to bring back with me. Those last few beers are bitter sweet.

Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone tried the bud american ale? It's not too far off from the Yeungling. I like it.

Re: Yeungling
 

In terms of the original Boston Beer Co?

Re: Yeungling
 

Yes, exactly. I'm just curious to learn more about it. (bar trivia ;))

Re: Yeungling
 

One of my favorite beers when back East.

Re: Yeungling
 

Yes but the fishing is better in Alabama:ss

Re: Yeungling
 

True true.....but who cares when you've got beer:)

Re: Yeungling
 

Unfortunately, I don't have any references to give you for this information as it was relayed to me by Jim Koch. There is PLENTY of old Boston Beer antiques around the Sam Adams brewery in Boston.

The one other tid-bit I do have to share is that the last known place of business for the original BBC is the old Heffenrefer brewery in Boston which is the current R&D center for Sam Adams.

Re: Yeungling
 

My parents live in Lucedale, MS...been to Mobile several times, Yuenling for the most part with a little Abita Springs thrown in just for that hometown feel.

Re: Yeungling
 

I love it! Thankfully I work with some folks who make trips to PA every couple months or so. :D

Re: Yeungling
 

Eh. It's OK. As far as the cheap American Lagers, it's the best. Very drinkable, and not bad at all, but there are MUCH better beers out there.

Re: Yeungling
 

who cares about shipping laws.....I've had plenty of friends ship me beer, wine..etc.....just pack it real good so nothing breaks......if a package starts leaking...well then you might have some explaining to do.....
shipping beer is expensive though due to the weight of the package....

Re: Yeungling
 

Woo Hoo! A fellow Mobilian who knows how to read and write, what are the odds?

Re: Yeungling
 

Even "Graduated" From College!:r:tu

Re: Yeungling
 

Yeungling has a premium line also in the brown bottles, its actually less for some reason, but I prefer the Greens:D

Re: Yeungling
 

This post is making me thirsty!

Re: Yeungling
 

The "Yeungling Premium Beer" title is a little misleading, it is not any more "premium" than the Lager is - just a different brew (pilsner style).

Re: Yeungling
 

I agree, I didn't want to just come out and say it "SUCKS"!!!

Re: Yeungling
 

I am not a huge fan of the Premium Beer on it's own but I really enjoy the Black and Tan, which is the Porter and the Premium Beer together.

Re: Yeungling
 

Yeah, I'm fixing to open a Yuengling in about an hour and watch the Panthers spank the Cardinals....

Re: Yeungling
 

roadtrip?

Re: Yeungling
 

Memories...

I grew up on the Yeungling 20oz returnables...

I love all their brews, Lord Chesterfields Ale is right behind their premium beer for me.

Re: Yeungling
 

That reminds me, does anyone get down with the 22 once bottle? :al

(a/k/a the "Bomber" or "Duece Staley" )

Re: Yeungling
 

Shipping is very pricey, done a few "beer passes" over the years..we put a limit on 5 or so bottles...I am gonna be down in West Virginia/North Carolina so I will just have to drink my fill then.

Re: Yeungling
 

I'm at the brewery now and there's an antique beer can here from Boston Beer Co. The can is from "Boston Light Ale" and says established 1828.

Re: Yeungling
 

Ahh...now when I punch in "Boston Beer Co + 1828" I get some results, before all I was getting was the new Boston Beer Co...

Re: Yeungling
 

I'm down with Yeungling. Always keep a few of them in the mini-fridge.

Re: Yeungling
 

I love the regular Yuengling and tried the Chesterfield last night and it seemed slightly skunky to me in both the smell and taste. Yuengling was founded in 1829 so its not really much difference from the Boston Brewers

"Not a lot of people know this but Boston was once the capitol of American beer brewing. In the year 1900, there were over 30 breweries in Boston which was more breweries per capita than any other city in the country at the time."


I'll throw Cincinnati into that hat also. Many, many breweries here too at the time.
BTW - Sam Adams brews in town here. Father in-law works for them, so you know what that means! :al
Man, how I miss me some Yuengling!

Re: Yeungling
 

Stop over I got plenty for yah :D

Re: Yeungling
 

Yes. Sam Adams has breweries in Boston, Cincinatti, and Pennsylvania (Lehigh Valley area). Also, every Sam Adams employee is entitled to 2 free cases of beer per month.

Re: Yeungling
 

Yuengling Black and Tan is a great beer for when you don't want something watery and light, but you don't want something too heavy.

Re: Yeungling
 

I grew up on this stuff...keggers in the woods in high school and all that...sometimes I find myself drifting away and drinking some of the many awesome beers out there, but I have never turned down a lager!

Re: Yeungling
 

I drove past the one in PA on Tuesday. I saw 2 big stainless steel things in the giant front window and was surprised to see Sam Adams on the side of the building. Its not a giant building and if your not lookin you'll miss it

Re: Yeungling
 

I haven't been in it nor have I seen it in person, but my understanding is that the Pennsylvania brewery is a couple of football fields long. Also, it's twice as big as the Cincinatti brewery.
