Yuengling

This weeks beer is one of my personal favorites.  D.G Yuengling is one, if not the oldest brewing companies is the U.S.  So it is no dough they know how to craft such a fine beer.  Located in Pottsville, Pennsylvania home to some incredible brew masters Yuengling produces some 2.5 million barrels a year.  Not to shabby as the nations 4th largest brewery. 

Yuengling Traditional Lager is the companies main staple. It's classic green bottles are marked "lager" for it's patrons of the North East coast.  Other varieties come in can from but if you want the real deal look no farther.  

Yuengling is a dark beer rich in color and flavor.  Lite head that disappears quickly, some say it is a heavier alternative to most other lagers in it's class.  Has a very clean after taste not to gaudy, nothing there to remind the drinker and finishes crisp.  Good clean finish again not too heavily, dose not give a "full" feeling.  It goes without saying Yuengling goes great with a meal.

Yuengling and a fine steak, now that's a good night.  Yuengling folks, in my opinion, is one of the best damn beers out there.  If you don't think so leave your comments below, and share some of your personal favorites.  Till next time drink one for me.  

Entro to "Something to Drink About"

Hello My name is Travis and I enjoy one of the finer things in life... BEER.  I started this blog to discuss some of the more famous and non-famous beer products out there. I enjoy both craft and non-craft beers, supporting the little man is just as important as enjoying a nice brew on a summer day.  I know some people think that beer and drinking are wrong, but here all I am trying to do is share a common interest.  If any body has anything to contribute please to do.

Discussions are welcome and are greatly needed.  Yes I am of legal age and responsible (disclaimer). Just a joke, but yes i do take this topic very seriously and this is just a place to enjoy a product.
I would like to start with my first beer.  This is one that I've been wanting to try for a while know and I finally get a chance to talk about it.   First up is...Shock Top Belgian White.  This beer comes from a long line of legendary brew masters from Anheuser-Busch. 

I have to admit this would not be my first choice when entering to beer isle, with ingredients such as lemon, lime and orange peels.  Not only that but it requires a special pour technique.  What?  Once the beer is poured you are then instructed to roll the bottle around and empty the remainder into the glass.  This is to insure that all those little spices, and flavors end up in your glass.  As ridiculously as that may seems, it works.  You can really taste the different flavors.  Overall the Shock Top was good but not great.  It did however deliver a nice change of pace.  

You may have noticed that in my post I didn't give a ranking of any sort.  Because that is not what I'm trying to accomplish.  Just a refreshing attitude towards to fun yet touchy topic.
