Has anyone heard anything about this brewery?
Apparently it is the oldest operating, American owned, brewery.

It's ok in a pinch. Sort of halfway between BMC and craft brew. If, for instance, I'm out of town, on my way to a party or someone's house and I need to grab some beer, and all the convenience store has is that and BMC, I'm picking the Y. But these days, all but the dumpiest ghetto marts seem to carry SNPA at the very least...
Chesterfield Ale.
Lord Chesterfield is all malt
apparently it is a lager too, even though it says ale on the label.

I like it okay if nothing else noteworthy is available, but my Teamster friends call it

I'd love to have to only drive an hour or 2 to get a rack of YB&T pint cans. Near as I can tell, id have to drive 19 hours to find it.
It's long been one of my favorite breweries. I have a driver's jacket patch and a 12"x20" poster of B&T with a blank area to put the name of the band playing or happy hour specials.
Man. You're making me wanna get a passport/visa so I can visit NY or MA and get some.
I just saw a history of beer in America on the History Channel and they showed the modern operation of the Yuengling brewery. The brewer mentioned that "in this vat we have about 13,000 pounds of corn grits and about 1,000 pounds of malt."
Can that possibly be the ratio in their brews? Or is that possibly a cereal mash stage taken out of context - corn grits needing to be mashed with a small percentage of 2-row or 6-row in order to convert.
Not in MA you won't....they don't distribute here, it's frustrating. It's virtually 100% unavailable in MA, ...

Yuengling is amazing...as far as large commercial breweries go, they are top notch. Their Lager is amazing, Porter is also amazing, Chesterfield Ale is amazing...their Premium and Premium light leaves a lot to be desired, but I'd drink it over Coors/Miller/Bud any day. Even their Light Lager is good for a Light beer. I myself and trying to make a Lager clone...can't seem to find any clone recipies though.
Yuengling is right outside of Philly
I was at an Outback steakhouse.... I saw that they had Yuengling on tap. I was surprised and ordered one. She charged me 'import' price for the draft. I asked why.... She said because it's an import. I kindly explained that it wasn't and in fact was the US's oldest brewery and made less than 50 miles away. NOPE....I even talked to the manager...said it was from China and the price wasn't moving...... What do you say?...... I paid for the beer....was worth the story....for beer geeks anyway.....
