Awesome.... I can relate to bringing back cases of Yuengling. Today I prefer craft beers but I do have gallons and gallons of Yuengling through my veins over the years. Most places in PA you can still just say "give me a lager" to any bartender and you get a Yuengling. When I started college in 1986 we used to travel to get it because it was only available in PA, DE and NJ. Then in the 90s I'm living in FL and it shows up there and no more bringing back cases. I don't drink much Yuengling today.... but me and some college buddies still only drink Lord Chesterfield Ale cans out on the golf course. Lotta good times and memories have been with Yuengling.

A beer run to Ohio for that overrated rot-gut beer?

Jees ........when I was at Northern Illinois it was runs across the Mississippi for Coors, then when I was in Chicago it was runs to Wisconsin for Point SPecial then later SPotted COw direct from New Glarus. NOw heading to Ohio for Yuengling. None of them are classically great beers but the fact that they taste good and are relatively inaccessible makes a good reason to make a run.

Tasting good is for sure subjective.

Right Pokey, and some folks have a different PH level in their mouth, which makes them appreciate different tastes. For me, the aluminum can really has a metal taste, and so I always drink out of bottles. I have noticed, that guys that always have a can of beer, are usually drinking the same brand. Which is a beer that goes flat quickly, something else they don't seem to mind. So some are more discriminating in their beer taste. All mouths are not the same! And I really like trying new beers.

2 tours in Germany and one in Belgium. I still favor Coors Light in a bottle. PBR was .25 in the beer machine next to the CQ desk, the other option was Tucher, I'd rather drink stagnant pond water then Tucher. Walk in at the end of the duty day, whip out 4 quarters as you entered the barracks, and enter the room halfway through the first beer. The Army sure was differant in the early '80s. 21st birthday wrecked me on Hefeweizen. Belgium did have a dark beer I loved, it was Duvel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duvel_Moortgat_Brewery , it did bring out the devil in people. FWIW, I will not drink budweiser in any form.

When you come to Americade in Lake George next June, stop at the Adirondack Brewery on Canada street and have a Bear Naked Ale. Yummy- yummy -yummy! Give me a call and I'll meet you there. I'm in the members' handbook.

If I happen to buy some beer, when my supply of bourbon is getting frighteningly low, I'll usually spring for some Molson Ice or Labatts & once-in-a-while; Heineken. I also like Dortmunder Union & the classic black-n-tan; 1/2 pitcher of Harp Ale & the remainder Guiness Stout!
I won't waste my money on all those johnny-come-lately yuppie brews...

You are missing out on real true craft beers, the rest are big batch lager and pilsner water.

Back when I was in the USCG, and drank alot, it was Old Millwaukee, Red, White and Blue, Pabst and whatever was cheapest on tap.
Now that I'm much older, and, do not drink much at all, I go for quality and taste, prefering IPAs and ESBs. I've become a beer snob, coffee snob, and by virtue of marriage, a red wine snob.

Nope. "Frugal" comes to mind on a Connie forum.

Nope, .22 is a frugal investment in shims (washers actually), cheap is the labor to twist the carb and drill the 7/64th hole

Names like "Thermobob" and "Doohickey" (AKA "Doo") do indeed create the impression of being cheap, but I assure you nothing says "Fruagl" like a set of ammo cans welded to fence posts cut to size and bailing wire used to secure said contraption and all of this to haul 5 cases of PBR to the woods

Went to college in Anheuser Busch's back yard.... If it wasn't from AB St. Louis, it didn't get drank... In hindsight, I may have fried my tastebuds...

.. I will drink anyone's beer if the price is right (free) and it is cold.

That being said, I did live in Germany in the early 90s. I was young, so I doubt I appreciated the beer as much as I should have. I just remember it was dark, warm, and after 2 liters I was making bad descisions....

Beer with Liver and Onions. Sounds like one pissed off Colon to me. The road trip sounds fun though.
