Wish I could get it around here. I prefer the porter to the black and tan. Just found a source of Lord Chesterfield Ale, my favorite summer time beer. Guess there is a silver lining to every cloud. :beer:

Looks like I won't be seeing Hotel around here if they only bottled 60 cases. :cry2: In my opinion, Weyerbacher is one of the best PA microbrewers and that's saying something.

Load Chesterfiled Ale is Yuengling best brew in my opinion Now if you can get some of there Porter do the Orginal
Half & Half get a tall frosty mug or a pilsner Glass pour half porter then the other half of Chesterfield in it you will enjoy
the Orginal Yuengling Half & Half which Yuengling never brewed but the local bar's / Customers created many years ago .

Thanks for the tip! I've had black and tans made with Guiness and Bass Ale and they were absolutely delicious. I think your combination would be similar.

Have to locate some Porter though. Around here all they seem to have is the Lager and the Black and Tan. Someday I'll have to go back for the brewery tour. I hear it's very good, particularly if you have ever brewed your own beer.

Yuengling Black & Tan is there Premium beer and the dark brewed Porter mixed and brewed together Not the same
as The Half & Half Chesterfield Ale & Dark brewed Porter Is a Much better tasting mix Try and get some .
Call or email the Brewery and ask for a dealer near you that carries the Porter .

if you're looking for a good porter, dont even waste your effort with yuengling porter. if you can get Great Lakes in your area, they have Edmund FItzgerald porter, which is rated one of the best porters on earth by beeradvocate and this guy!

I've had it before and it is a very respectable porter. Unfortunately, Great Lakes doesn't seem to make it out here. Just bought some Commodore Perry IPA while I was out in CNY. A very good IPA, Both are on my list for the next time I get to CNY.

The good news is I resisted drinking the one in the fridge so I have another one for tonight. The bad news is I have only 3 left. :cry:

In a few moments I'll be joining the DfHPSM club! Wife called me on her way home, I placed my request and the local place had it. I asked her what the price was an she said she just finds it and buys it. I am soooo lucky :)

I worked with a guy from Texas who used to say: "Shiner Bock is so bad you get a hangover before you even finish the beer..."

However, I respectfully disagree. Shiner Bock is not a bad beer in Texas or elsewhere.

I believe that was said around here about Haffenreffer Malt Liquor ... :lol: AKA: Green Death!

Those giant 64 ounce bottles bring back fond childhood memories for me. It was an accomplishment to finish one in less than an hour ... and I was all of 115 lbs back then! :woot: :funny: The 16 ouncers
( Pounders in MA speak) had little puzzles inside the cap that were fun to figure out as you got completely annihilated! Little pictures: screw + 'ed = screwed ... stuff like that. I know ... bad example, but I can't remember one of them!

One ol' timer described the flavor to me very well: SKUNK PISS.
