Source for Yuengling? [Archive]

Yuengling is only available in PA, down the eastern seaboard minus Georgia, and in Alabama.

I live in Ohio.

I can't find it.

Does anyone know a source for Yuengling that would make it available to me? Pennsylvania is about a 4 1/2 hour drive, which is a bit far for me to drive just for beer...

What does Yuengling taste like?

They make several varieties, but their basic lager is one of the few lagers with a nice hops bite that doesn't taste too skunky for me.

Their Black & Tan is also tasty and mild. And $4 a pitcher at the cheap-o seedy bar in my college's town. (sorry, had to rub that in guys)

The Tampa brewery is about a 1/2 mile from where I'm sitting right now. Heh.

because I really like YuenglingFor mass-produced, light-style lager, it's got character, which is unusual in its class. it's good beer and what bud ought to be...Hey, that's well said.

Rob, my parents have a six pack of Yuengling in the fridge. If you want I'll send it to you free of charge. Although it might be a skunky by the time it gets there. Still, free beer is free beer. Right? :)

I'm fairly certain that it's illegal to send beer through the USPS. I wouldn't want to make you break the law, Seth! :bigggrin:

Walk into any Post Office and there will be a sign of what you can or cannot send. Dont recall if alcohol is on the list or not.

Yes, to send alcohol through the USPS would be bad. GHoos, please never do something like that. For example, please do not send a bottle of Corsendonk Abbey Brown Ale through the mail to me. Please. Whatever you do, think of the illegality of such an act.

I think I saw Yuengling for sale here in CBus. I'll do some research and report back.

It's on the shelf down here in DeLand... A couple different varieties... I think we have the pale, dark and Black and Tan varieties...

I picked up a sixer of the Black & Tan while I was down in FL this week.
Aaaahhhh.

Mmmmmmm.....lager.....gotta love yuengling.....got a real taste for in when I visit a friend in West Chester, PA and I figured I could find it at a local importer. No such luck. Give Czech Rebel a try though, it's a worthy replacement.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Wait! Are you telling me it come pre-mixed as a black and tan?

GHoosdum

21 Sep 2007, 9:05pm

Sort of. I don't tend to think of the word "mixed" when I think of a normal Black & Tan, but in a sense, the Yuengling Black & Tan tastes like a Black & Tan that is mixed in a bottle.

there is a way to send alcohol through USPS, I just can't tell you.

otherwise, it IS NOT allowed. please don't try it. Your regional mail sorting facility will love you though ;) they always enjoy free alcohol.

Yeah I figured there were rules against it. I snuck that bottle of Corsendonk over to Seth regardless. ;)

CrazyJoe just stopped by. He came all the way from Florida to give me two oranges and a six of Yuengling. Somehow he managed to smuggle 72oz. of beer through airport security.

That's a true friend. :thumbsup:

It's actually not illegal at all to transport alcohol on an airplane as long as it's in your checked luggage. You're allowed as much alcohol as you want under 48 proof. Anything higher than that, you're limited to 5 liters.

So if i have 5 liters of 120 proof, I can still have as much under 48 as I want? Or?...

Rules will vary from country to country and also for importing I am sure.

Joe was referring to travel within the US, I believe.

Crazy Joe

23 Nov 2007, 5:16pm

Yep. These are the rules for air travel within the US only.

I just tried some Yuengling for the first time... They had it on tap at a bar in Hendersonville, NC that I visited last night on my way back to Florida... It was actually pretty good...
