Comments: Yuengling has long been a sentimental favorite. First, the Yuengling Brewery is based in the same Pennsylvania county where by grandparents lived when I was a child. Second, when I came of age in Virginia and began drinking beer regularly, Yuengling was a standard. I’ve missed it since I moved to Massachusetts and was happy to see it reintroduced to the commonwealth this year. So, recently when a friend and I went to a swanky bar in the South End, I saw that Yuengling was on tap (and furthermore was the only reasonably priced beer on tap). And …. it wasn’t as good as I remembered. The flavor isn’t strong and the aroma is tad skunky. That being said, for the price it’s a decent quaff on a hot day. So, I’ll add this back to my list of cheap beer standbys.
