I whole hartedly agree. Best beer around. I live in Marland and it is at my local stores. When hiking i would drink anything.
I recall going to a spring once and finding a six pack cooling there. I took one could onot rest.
Another time i found a twelve pack that was cold lying in the trail. Some ditz on a motor bike using the trail had it bungie corded to his bike and it fell off. he came back as I was packing a few away. Still cold. I made camp early and was vey happy with a beer .s

I gotta admit, the Yuengling was fine last summer. I'm not much of beer conni-sewer, but I did enjoy the stuff. It always hit the spot.
Next time your at the Doyle hotel, try a pint of draft. Its real good.

I never had the pleasure of tasting Yuengling. But I hear its good. I been more of Sam Adams and micro-breweries out of Asheville. Damn fine good beer. There was a microbrewery in Greenwood, IN (south of Indy) that had some most amazing beer.
You been watching too much Burt Reynolds and Smoky and the Bandit.
Its legal to transport and possess beer as long as your of age in the states you are driving. And as long as your not sampling the sweet nectar while driving.
When I was working the dorm desk in college, kids would have carts worth of opened coke cases, yet we couldn't search them. But you know what was in them.

I'm from Boston originally, and have sampled Sam Adams since they started making beer back in 1985.
It s my considered opinion that Sam Adams is to Yuengling as a topaz is to a rhinestone.

Holey Smoley, did I ever get THAT one wrong! :eek: What was I thinking???
I meant to say that the Yuengling represents the topaz here, period.
Sam is an over-rated yuppie beer for affected snobs. No real Bostonian drinks it.
Yuengling rules, end of story.
Damn, I really need to do an idiot check before posting. My profound apologies!!

thats sounds alot better jack. didn't damascus just start selling yuengling a few years back, from the florida plant right? if i do have some shipped to me, what do you people think bottle or can (taste) and shipping cost think cans would save that much on shipping. and wheres L.W. i want to know if i'm a dumbass for liking yuengling or if its alright...

No Yuengling in Damascus, at least not as of a few weeks ago.
Will not comment about the legality or propriety of having the stuff mailed to you via USPS or private carrier. That's up to you.
But I suspect cans would be cheaper, easier, and would be perfectly acceptable to whoever is lucky enough to receive them.

Really, dude, I was working hard to unscramble your topaz / rhinestone analogy. Went way over my head... and apparently yours also.
I'm hardly a "real Bostonian" but never considered Sam Adams to be terribly special. Stella Artois for me nowadays, given a choice (or when it's on my dime.) Otherwise I'm not fussy.

I live in Tampa, and have been on the tour of the facility several times. Although I know all the beer here comes from PA and all of PA's comes from here, curious.... But I have tasted both, and I have to say, it tastes amazing when its "fresh". of course that means just after the fermentation process. but go yuengling!!

Yuengling's a fine trail brew, and no better sampled than at the Doyle, surrounded by a crowd of hikers, some of whom may be singing along to the jukebox which in all likelihood is playing "New York, New York". I'm also partial to Long Trail Ale, served at the Inn at Long Trail (which is still on the LT/AT and down with anyone who says otherwise).
Sam Adams always clogs my sinuses. I can't figure that one out.
Jack Tarlin
06-21-2008, 00:10
And considering the size of your big honkin' nose, Sleepy, this is no laughing matter. :D
Long Trail is definitely a fav. Sam Adams anything is not so hot. Been a while since I had a Yuengling, but I do recall liking it. Local bars in CT have added Blue Moon lately - not bad. I'm kind of a Bass Man. A Guinness on occasion is grand.
What do locals in Boston drink? I may be spending more time there soon and would like to get a head start on the culture. ;)

Ta hell with Blue Moon.
It's pretentious and fake.
It's supposedly a Belgian style wheat craft beer made by the "Blue Moon Brewing Company."
Um, no. It's always been over-rated and is actually made by Coors!
Tin Man: I grew up in Boston and the locals there are no more sophisticated than anyone else. The number one beer is Budweiser, same as anywhere else.
I suggest you stick to Beck's.

Thanks for the update on Blue Moon - should have known better than to listen to my local beer friend. The problem is our smallish establishments don't offer many choices on tap.
I thought maybe Boston might have more taste than Bud. And no Beck's for me, thanks. I'll stick with Bass or Heineken or micro brew.
Hay CrumbSnatcher, I see your from Lincoln, Ne.
If you ever get into Omaha, go down to the Old Market in downtown. There is a bar called the "Dubliner". They sell over 100 different type of beers. It seems like ages ago, but I used to bartend there. Upstairs is a different bar, The Oyster Bar. I would always trade some beer for a plate of oyster rockafeller. Oh the memories.
If I can remember when the time comes, my mom is metting me at the outerbanks at the end of July. I could stuff her trunk and maybe you could meet her by the Gretna mall, when she gets back in town.
Oops,
Maybe she'll be "meeting" me instead. I guess I was thinking about all those beers.

try the 120 minute (if you can find it! and afford it!) but the 90 minute will do in a pinch
as for other domestics...allagash tripel, stone arrogant bastard ale (or any of their stuff actually) and victory brewing co. esp the old horizontal ale are all excellent.
i grew up outside philly and it just amazes me how yuengling has become "desirable" when it was always just the cheap local beer you drank in college.
as for belgians....oh i could go on forever....did i mention i love beer? mmmmm beery-beer.
oh and threads about beer.

Tried Yuengling recently. It didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. My wife didn't care for it either.
I'll stick with the occasional Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
In the 70's it was the cheapest beer we could find. Five dollars for 24 - 16 oz. returnables. Whoever did the marketing on that beer was a genius. The entire east coast from Georgia to New Jersey is going nuts for the stuff.

But when your surrounded by Bud, Coors, and Millers, Sam Adams is good beer. Who wants rice beer. But when you want 24pack for $10 go for the Michelob...lol
I can go for Molsons, Blue Moon, or a Heine

Just found this thread. I like drinking beer, but with the hipster revolution/gentrafication movement going on in Brooklyn and NYC, I don't really purchase beer much anymore. Anything microbrew is around 10 bucks or more, insane.
Seems the less you drink, the more special they are.
I guess I used to be somewhat of a beer snob, sticking to micros. When I was in Costa Rica, it was hot and all they had was light beer, so I drank it, and learned to like it!
I'm still partial to Long Trail Ale. Got me through college :)

A good beer is a good beer, who cares where it comes from? Blue Moon is delicious, I applaud Coors for making a good wheat beer so widely available... wasn't more than 5 years ago when there were a lot of parts of this country where you couldn't get a Belgian (real or fake) within 100 miles!!

Good point. Even if it is the same company making and labeling a bottle Budweiser, doesn't make it the same elsewhere in the world. I understand McDonald's had to change their burger ingredients to match local tastes in different parts of the world. Hint: Don't order a McCheesburger in countries where horse-meat is a common food item. ;)

You might not want to find out what many other nations' health agencies think about what the FDA considers acceptable in the U.S. Beef is a great example of this, a lot of Canadian beef that is deemed UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION and labeled as such is often shipped to the united states, where it meets USDA standards, to be repackaged and sold to the public. My brother-in-law once temped in a Montreal warehouse where his actual job was REMOVING the "NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION" stickers from various food packages so they could be shipped to the United States and sold in Kosher Food Co-ops. There are also a lot of food treatments that are common practice in the united states but known and recognized to be harmful to humans in much of the rest of the world. And don't get me started on high fructose corn syrup(EVIL)!
I don't know where McD's burgers fall in the grand scheme of things, but I personally don't consider anything from McDonald's or KFC in the U.S. to be even edible, whereas food from their counterparts north of the border (KFC especially) is of markedly higher quality. Canadian KFC bones don't "melt in your mouth", for one. :P
