Yuengling Traditional Lager Reviews

On our way to a vacation in Maine two years ago, we stopped for the night in Jessup, Maryland, and visited historic Savage Mill in nearby Savage. There, we had dinner in the Ram's Head Pub, accompanied by a lager we'd never tried before: Yuengling. On the spot, it became far and away our favorite.

For the record, it's produced at the Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville, Pennsylvania -- the oldest brewery in America, founded in 1829. Yuengling also has a manufacturing plant in Tampa, but the products are distributed only over a 10-state area alolng the eastern seacoast. There are seven varieties that...

Since 1829, the Yuengling family has been brewing thier beer in Pottsville, PA.  As I grew up there, I've been familiar with both the beer and the family my whole life.  Yuengling Lager is a traditional German style amber lager.  The taste is smooth and crisp with a hint of sweetness.  This is a beer that tastes good even when warm.  The best review I can give of Yuengling Lager comes from a time when I was managing a bar and had some guests from Belgium.  They were complaining about the poor quality of American beers as compared to what they had in Europe.  I handed them a round of Yuengling. ...

I think one reason Yuengling has a reputation for being good is that it is not widely available outside of the East Coast, and its scarcity might add to the allure.  On the East Coast, it is ubiquitous, and, while many see it as a reliable go-to beer, it is not something that is often sought out specifically.  All in all, this is an average beer at best, and if you are not from the East, it is highly likely a local brewery near you produces something equally as good if not better.  In fact, even if you are from the East (we could even whittle that down to just eastern PA), there are breweries...

Been a wine drinker for many years.  During a softball tournament in Phylli, PA was introduced to the local brewed Yuengling Lager.  Love the taste, sweet not bitter, goes down smooth and can handle more than one or two.  Went back to Florida and only found it in West Palm Beach until some years ago where I now find it locally in Miami, Fl.  Have introduced many friends to this new taste with amazing good results.  Read one of your reviews on a light Yuengling but have not seen it down in South Florida.  Anyone know where in South Florida I can find the "Light Yuengling"? 

Crisp and refreshing.  Easy to drink. Goes well with every kind of food OR  by itself
