Yuengling... tough to find? What is this I don't even
See I recently learned on my trip to Ohio that Yuengling is something special up in that region. Not Ohio specifically, but Indiana doesn't have it all. Go figure that I can get a 6 pack at WalMart at 1 am for $5.69 down in Orlando. Nothing like using Yuengling for drinking games.
Intersting. It is easy to forget how regional beer really is. What I consider 'standard affair' is something 'out there' just a few states over.Abita is probably the most prominent of those out here. I've seen Yuengling and Sweetwater, but they're tough to find. Haven't heard of the other ones.
You have a good selection up there, though, so you're at least covered. I greatly enjoy beers from the Ohio valley region.I wish we could get Terrapin here but they don't have distribution in Ohio yet. Sweetwater is good too.
Mmmm Shiner. It was cheaper here a couple years ago, but it has shot up to close to $8 a 6 pack. At that price I can't justify it over the other selections. Too bad too, because it was great to have a sixer of Bock on a hot day.We get Abita here in Houston, especially at Cajun restaurants and LSU alumni hangouts, but none of the others. You might find them at Spec's (a large liquor store that would make you weep), but in general, most places stock local beer for their "craft" selection. St Arnolds and Karbach are the big winners here in Houston, with 8th Wonder and No Name being the up and coming brewers.
And if they don't have that, there is always Shiner.
That's too bad, but the west coast beers have their own style. Anderson Valley really reaches an east coast taste out there, so seek them out.Nah. I only even recognize a few of those names. Out here we mostly get California and Oregon microbreweries.
