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.

After a nice beach hike. Guess my calf is officially healed. On the rather disappointing fact I can't get to a Pliny 2min away, they open again on the day I leave, this is the closest. You know, when there's a will, there's a way!

This cider seems to be popular here but even after a 4mile walk, couldn't do the whole thing.

Found a decent bottle shop 30min away, still no Pliny though. Starting the day with something different. This is pretty good. The 9% rounds out the flavor and mouth feel I think or that might be the BA. Low wine character. Hints of fruitiness not just a mouth of Brett.

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.

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.

I would also recommend expanding their sales area too, at least to Denver.

On a good note the didn't make their label a hideous yellow and blue mistake. And they do sell in cans.
