Have One On Me

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Maybe Benjamin Franklin didn't really say this, but he should have. Currently, I am happily sipping at my standard, always in the fridge beer, Yeungling Lager in a can. I got into Yeungling while a student at a university in the Metro Philadelphia area many years ago. Unlike most cheap swill beers, this one has a nice, smooth malty tasty with a bit of hops, and a nice amber color, with none of the harsh notes one finds in a mass-market beer. A good, all-barley beer, and much better than the rice-based beers of the Big Three (Bud-Coors-Miller), but at roughly the same price. For years I couldn't find it, but about 4-5 years ago Yeungling went national, and most people should be able to find it in their local supermarket. It is definately my favorite American beer in a can; next week I'll be reporting on my favorite beer of all time; which is currently only availible in North Carolina on tap or from the brewer directly in growlers.
