Yeungling

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

See if you can get Henry Weinhards out there. Great beer and it use to be cheap. If I am not mistaken it was similar. This is going back to 96' so I may be wrong on the profile but I know it was good stuff.

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

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

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.

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...

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.

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...
