you live in pottsville? i went there and took the yuengling tour one time when visiting some family in PA. one thing that struck me was how you get to walk right through the brewery, right up to the open mash tun, right along the bottling lines and everything! on the redhook tour out here in the pacific nw, you are far removed from the process.
yuengling is far from being the best shit out there, but you have to give them props for their longevity and history.

when i went, yeah they only gave you a couple samples. they were fairly generous samples compared to some tours, but definitely not enough to get bombed on.
agree that yuengling ain't the most quality shit on the shelf but their lager and black & tan are definitely a step above the macro-brew domestic crap that's out there. take the tour sometime if bored; it's neat from a historic angle if nothing else.
living in the pacific northwest, i am spoiled rotten with so many quality craft brewers out here. i'd never buy yuengling if they sold it out here -- just like to have a bottle or two when visiting my family in PA for nostalgic reasons.

OLD CHUB
Scottish Style Ale by Oskar Blues Brewery, Lyons, Colorado ABV: 8.0%
"High Altitude. High Attitude. High Land. High Ya! No Rice!"
"We've heard cans are made for boring pusillanimous beer. We couldn't agree less. Old Chub is a behemoth of a beer brewed in the tradition of the finest Scottish-style ales. We brew it with huge quantities of caramel and chocolate malt, and a touch of smoked malt. Our liquid philanthropy is your 12-ounce snub to conformity."
I'm going to retract this recommendation. I think I was woo'ed by the irreverance of the can. Scottish Ale should be sweet. I mean, the developed ale while the fucking Brits were taxing the fuck out of hops, so they said kiss my kilt, and made beer with a fuckload of malts. That being said, this beer is too sweet. It leaves an icky sweet taste in my mouth.
For a good Scottish-style ale, drink Flying Dog's Road Dog. Good beer. No shit. Just ask the ACLU, who fought to keep that phrase on the label.

Man, I've had precious few of those!
I like Widmer Brothers. A lot of my friends pretend that they don't, but they're just be pretentious b/c the beer is distributed by Bud. Same for Redhook, but I LOVE their Sunrye and drink a shitload of it every summer.
I went to Pyramid when I was in Seattle. I can't think of one that sticks out, but they were all quality beer. The Apricot Ale is a good one to pop on the ladies.
The only thing I've had from Alaskan Brewery is their Smoked Porter, and I think I raved about that earlier in the thread. I love any and all smoked beers.
Of course, I'm suprised you can talk about Pacific Northwest w/o talking about Rogue. Gimme their Hazelnut Brown Nectar any day. God, that's good. I also like their Brutal Bitter.
I went out a couple of years ago for the Oregon Brewers Festival. http://www.oregonbrewfest.com/ It consistently wins awards as one of the top festivals in the nation. So does the World Beer Festival, here in Durham. Come by for a beer. http://www.allaboutbeer.com/wbf/home.html They have it in the old Bulls Athletic Park where Bull Durham was filmed.

Oh dear ... all the fat girls that I might not have kissed, felt up, and/or diddled if not for the evil influence of Natty Light.
It's piss-water. It makes you stupid. It gives you a hangover.
Pour it in a ludicrously-sized, iced mug and surround yourself with smoking-hot, underaged girls whilest imbibing it.

If you gotta go cheap, go Keystone Light or Miller High Life.

i don't like keystone whatsoever, but i can get behind high life. it was $5.99 for a 12-pack of bottles of high life at the supermarket in albany.

Schlitz is now brewed by Pabst. Pabst is brilliant! They bought all these old labels of beers that were regionally huge before Budweiser crushed everything else on the market. Now they make all these sweet, kitschy beers.
Pabst Blue Ribbon, Old Milwaukee, Heilemans, Lone Star, Rainier, Cold 45, Schlitz, Schlitz Malt Liquor, Schmidt, National Bohemian Beer, Stag, and Stroh's
All are fun, all will ring in your head the next day.

Why ya' bodderin' me, kid? You know what you like. You know it's piss.
Try a Spaten Lager. It's a good jumping off point from rice beers into quality stuff.
