A most flavorful and drinkable bee. Best Traditional Lager on the East Coast.

Good beer overall. Not the best but better than the larger beer companies offer.

The best lager I’ve ever had - both bottled and druaght. I prefer draught though. I moved to TX for my job. I almost didn’t accept with the lack of Yuengling out here being one of the dealbreakers - until I found Shiner Bock. I was very happy when I stumbled onto a distributor in VA that’ll ship it anywhere in the country.

I LOVE YUENGLING. Its inexpensive, and delicious, and available at every bar in Bucks County. 6.50 pitchers at AJs. America’s oldest brewery, recognize bitches.

One of my favorites. Dry, malty taste from the bottle, hints of bananna from the tap. Clean finish and just an all-around great-tasting lager. The head (or lack of one) leaves something to be desired. I’m surprised not more people on this site rated this higher but I guess an honest steel workers brew from Pottstown Penn. isn’t going to get a fair shake. I’m going to start my own micro-brewery that specializes in ales that taste like a burning tire dipped in witch hazel, charge $10 a six pack, and garner a 9.0 rating from people that should really be drinking wine.

My rating is for the Tampa edition of Lager, bought and consumed in PA. My rating for the true Pottsville swill, bought and consumed in PA, would be much higher. My friends and family recently conducted a blind taste test by the camp fire. All agreed that the Tampa Lager has a rather skunky smell and taste compared to that from PA.
And either I’m quite unlucky when shopping for beer, or Yuengling does ship a lot of their Tampa products to PA, despite what was written in a recent Patriot News story (http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/20
One can tell where their Yuengling was brewed by examining the number code on the bottle / can / box... The first two numbers are the year, the next three numbers are the Julian day, and the next number is either a 1, 2, or 3. If it’s a 2, it’s from Tampa. (If you don’t believe me, call the brewery - 570-628-4890.)

I grew up on this beer, but it seems that when they went national, the taste was lost and every one I have now tastes as skunked beer. D.G., PLEASE bring back the old recipe. This is not just my opinion either, as many of the people around my area agree...something was changed.

UPDATED: NOV 23, 2012 A good staple beer. It?s nothing fancy. But, it?s good when you?re working around the house or watching the game. It?s much better than other big named American lagers!

Being from PA ive had more lager than any other beer.This is the best tasting lager for the price, around $20 a case. You don’t get a corny cheap beer taste with this beer. When it warming slightly you can taste the caramel malt. Of course there are better, more expensive lagers out there but for slightly less than the BMC’s out there you can’t beat it.
