Summer is back, for a few days, anyway. Out in the gazebo (because the mosquitoes and yellowjackets are back, too). Enjoying an HB malt liquor. The beer's not hazy, it's the 70F dewpoint.

I like the The Band references.View attachment 884266View attachment 884267View attachment 884268View attachment 884269At Pieces Brewing & Pizza for lunch while in Chicago.
The Weight, then Door Code followed by Second to the Last Waltz.
The pizza was delicious too!
I live less than and hour from there, and my wife grew up in pottsville. I couldn't agree more, its interesting though, when I drink a fresh one I'm always like, why isn't it always this good... then I think, and ohhhh yeah, it's skunked.Traveling to the East Coast this week has put me in contact with a lot of brews we rarely see on the West Coast.
Today is a great and historic beer I first had in Pennsylvania about 20 years ago, Yuengling Lager. I can remember first tasting this historic brew on tap and it truly was fantastic - I was hooked!
Yuengling is rightly proud of their “Oldest Brewery in America, 1829” creds. I wish they would take some pride in their product though, and abandon these green bottles. Today’s Yuengling is skunky - 1829 style skunking!
So please fellas. You have a historic position in brewing history, just as Anchor Brewing had. Protect it! Brown glass! There’s no excuse for this in 2025, now it’s lazy manufacturing, we all know what the issues are. There’s 20 times the companies you are competing against, my suggestion is get it together.
