Yuengling Beer Coming?

Caught this article on my reader feed. I was introduced to Yuengling a few years ago by a friend and drink it whenever I'm on the east coast. Its really popular there, I'm sure some of you are familiar with it.

Its just a domestic lager, maybe not up to beer-snob standards, but it beats the hell out of bud, miller, coors, etc. I hope we get it in KY!

The "Ying Ling"(dont know if its correct,but thats how they pronounce it) black and tan is very popular with my friends in Pittsburgh. Not my favorite brew, but it is better than a lot of the crap served in bars around Pittsburgh.

Some people can go bat-shit crazy about their love of Yuengling. I enjoy it, but my sentiments are in-line with yours. I categorize it with, say, Shiner Bock. Nothing all that great about it, but it does have its moments (cookouts, football, bowling, etc.), and does not leave me feeling ethically unsound.

Yuengling is America's oldest brewery and still family owned. Yuengling has used the American Bald Eagle as it's symbol since 1829, predating the use by A-B by 23 years.

Yuengling was pretty popular when I was at Penn State for undergrad. Some friends of ours who are also Penn Staters but live here in Louisville always stock up on it when they travel. Is there a reason why it's not available at the Liquor Barn, etc.?

Yuengling is a fine example of a product gaining in status from relative unavailability. This does not imply my dissing the brewery, simply that the actual quality of the beer gets lost in discussions of where it can be found, and not found. If Yuengling comes here to Louisville, the Helles at Browning's still will be a better beer.

Support your local brewery, etc.

They only distribute to about 10 states for capacity reasons. I should mention its also cheap, which is part of the appeal I'm sure.

Interesting article in the WSJ:

I call this the Coors of this generation. It's considerably better than Coors ever was, but a lot of the hype is the fact that you can't get it here. They just need to make a movie about someone bootlegging a semi-load of it from Pennsylvania, and it will be come legendary.

Yuengling is also very similar to Coors in that it is owned by a right-wing family obsessed with destroying its employee union: http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/1017784.

The union is a new addition to the brewery, never had one prior to 2000 and only after buying a brewery with Teamsters in place. Also, the article is from 2007, one year after the "union busting" of 2006. How come a union was not needed from1829 to 2000?

Maybe because CEO/Owner pay rates werent as out of sync then as they are now.

Yuengling is decent. I live about an hour away from West Virginia and they carry it at Sheetz convenience stores.

SHEETZ, that's what we need here.

Or a younger generation went away to school, got MBAs, and came back home thinking they were so much smarter than their parental generations back to 1829 that they could make a lot more money by cutting a few unnecessary expenses that they didn't consider as important as their parents had? That's a fairly common story in recent corporate America.

If the workers would just go to college and get their own MBA, they wouldn't be in this predicament now, would they? What part of the American Dream says "work hard and you will be adequately taken care of"? This is America. Take whatever is yours and then take the next person's too!
