Yuengling Lager is perhaps the most refreshing part of living in central Pennsylvania. This delightful brew is a staple of Pennsylvania culture and graces nearly every social gathering in the region.

Unfortunately for those Pennsylvanians who find themselves far from home, the beer is only available locally, although in recent years it has spread to all of the bordering states, and has followed the retiree migration to Florida. We can only hope that this trend will continue so that one day we can all enjoy a pint of Yeungling together.

The Yeungling brewery is touted as America's oldest continually operating brewery, being founded in 1829 and managing to creatively survive Prohibition. It is brewed in Pottsville, PA (a satellite brewery has also been opened in Tamp, FL to meet the demand in that market) and the company actually makes seven different brews, including an Ale and a Porter, all of which range in ABV from 4.4% to 5.4%.

However, their Lager is by far the most popular, and at a bar in Pennsylvania one need only ask for "a Lager" and rightfully expect to receive a glass of Yeungling's delicious brew.

Sean's a Moron
by: Matt

I'm pretty sure that most people wouldn't even try to make the case that Yuengling is the best lager available but it's got a great taste at a good price and I think THAT is the best thing about Yuengling. If you want something that tastes great and you want to fork out big bucks while you're out with the friends then by all means get whatever other beer you wish and pay more to get drunk. But if you want something great while you're out with friends that won't break the bank and still tastes great, Yuengling is the best. (I'm sure that one of the reasons Sean doesn't enjoy Yuengling is because he doesn't ever drink at bars with real people, just sits alone at home)

Yuengling is garbage
by: sean

Anyone who considers yuengling a "good" lager is obviously an uneducated and inexperienced beer drinker. Any connoiseur would agree thet as far as lagers go yuengling is way down at the bottom of the list. The fact that people attribute the word lager to yuengling in Pennsylvania shames me to be a pennsylvanian because there are many great microbrews in the state and the surrounding area that produce quality lagers. To think, I thought this was a website for real beer drinkers. shame on you Paul, you're a fake.
