Yuengling has been making beer in Pottsville, Pa., since 1829. It's the oldest brewery in the United States. After all these years, it's still owned by a guy named Yuengling, and he intends to keep it."Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475726342361737574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-42382109057528752902010-05-21T17:45:10.577-04:002010-05-21T17:45:10.577-04:00I think it was Miller that used the motto "it...I think it was Miller that used the motto "it's time for a good old-fashioned macro brew" or something very similar in their advertising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-67741322630414605782010-05-10T14:40:56.110-04:002010-05-10T14:40:56.110-04:00Wouldn't beer substitute be more accurate?Wouldn't beer substitute be more accurate?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952564820382472228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-73870436460835314072010-05-02T22:54:56.849-04:002010-05-02T22:54:56.849-04:00"Premium" has long been used for high-en..."Premium" has long been used for high-end brews.

And I've found Yuengling inconsistent on draft -- sometimes very enjoyable, with a flavor close to that of Shiner Bock, and sometimes almost flavorless. Because green bottles are used, the bottled version is susceptible to skunking.<br /><br />Trivia from Bill's Pottsville past: My first Yuengling was a regular old pale lager, before the marketing department decided to make the amber Traditional Lager the flagship. And my dad, who really liked his beer, looked down on his hometown brew, preferring Pabst Blue Ribbon or Carling Black Label or any number of other regular old pale American lagers.BWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537647090614666652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-34045845040531930562010-04-20T08:01:33.056-04:002010-04-20T08:01:33.056-04:00You settled for Yuengling?
