Although they weren't NEARLY as good as the Old German that was made down in Hammonton, NJ or by Eagle over in Catasaqua, PA. They used to put Bavarian Type in Yuengling returnable cases. Interchangeable. <br /><br />Of course none of those were as good as my mascot premium beer in a painted label split. Why these Johnny-come-lately microbrewers dont re-release that one is beyond me, just as I am in the beyond...Chas D.

You think they actually made multiple baseline beers for the economy market in the same brewery? I don't think so.<br /><br />I grew up on Stoney's, Esquire, Fort Pitt, and Old Shay...all the same beer in a different bottle.

New England, Ohio, the Midwest...plenty of market there for an American-owned brewery. Yuengling's been in New England before, and the retailers there tell me they would love to have it again.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-32779784384087470622009-08-09T20:48:45.420-04:002009-08-09T20:48:45.420-04:00I love Yuengling, but let's not forget that at...I love Yuengling, but let's not forget that at least part of that growth was due to their moving into the previously untapped Georgia and West virginia markets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-2875008987355811212009-08-09T14:44:07.725-04:002009-08-09T14:44:07.725-04:00As far as America lagers go I enjoy Yuengling.
