Too early?? No, remember, it's 5 'o clock somewhere......
I also find it interesting that Yuengling has developed such a strong following across the country. Being a Pennsylvania native I just assumed it was enjoyed more regionally. But, as their ads say, they are the oldest brewery in America.....
Yeah me too. I also recall my mother saying when she was young it was the cheap beer to drink if you didnt have alot of money on you. Kind of a last resort beer.
Hey where abouts are you in southcentral pa?
Hey Backstreets,
I live in Chambersburg (along I-81), about 25 miles west of Gettysburg on Route 30. And you???
My daughter lives in Boulder and on my trips out there I sample many of the regional brews and brew pub offerings. The strangest thing came up during my trip in December. We were in this small pub with a great selection of regional drafts with the addition of Pabst's Blue Ribbon. She told me that "PBR is the hippster beer of choice." Blew me away!
I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now! VISIT: The Hanover Area Parrot Head Society - THAPHS.NET VISIT: The Hanover Chili Cook Off - HANOVERCHILICOOKOFF.COM
I'm sure you've tried the beers produced by Coddington Brewery in Newport, too. My wife and I make at least one stop there every time we visit on vacation. They do a nice job....
I love going to local brew pubs and, in fact, we visited Ram's Head Tavern in Annapolis, MD with friends last weekend. Great drafts and the beer batter shrimp are unbelievable!!!
So much beer, so little time......
Coddington is *excellent*!!
Carry on as you know they would want you to do. ~~JB, dedication to Tim Russert
Take your time
Find your passion

Im from Scranton but my girlfriend lives in Hummelstown. Im down here weekends and sometimes during the week depending on my company. Have you been to the Parrot head bar in Marysville? If so did you like it? Weve been thinking about going.

As a traditional pale American lager, it's about fair-to-middlin'
Some people like that kind of thing. That's fine.
Personally, I'd rather drink Shiner Bock or Abita than Lone Star, but sometimes "when in Rome..."
If I'm drinking PBR, I'm slumming...

If we meet. First round of Shiner is on my tab.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I heard about that "Parrothead bar" in Marysville, but haven't checked it out yet. Let's swap PM if either of us gets more info, OK?

Miller light or Coors light are probably good starting points.
Michelob Ultra would also be an excellent 'starter beer'
Many of the microbrews and dark beers mentioned above are a much fuller flavor, and usually a little too much for people not used to full flavored beers.
But the first beer I liked was Fat Tire. After that it was Rogue Hazelnut on tap- it really depends on what flavors you like. I don't like hoppy beer- so IPAs are bad, stouts (generally) are good.
I would also suggest Dogfish Head Midas Touch- even my mom though it was decent, and I have never, ever seen her drink beer. It's a sort of beer-wine combo, made with honey, barley, white muscat grapes and a tiny bit of saffron. It does pack a serious punch though- around 10% ABV.

If you like Dogfish -- try the IMMORT ALE - hints of vanilla, oak, maple damn good beer

AND I think we actually take the time to let yourself feel and experience with all your God given senses such a special place. That is the one gift we brought home from Hawaii and we could not buy it in a gift shop. We learned to take the time to enjoy the sun sets, hang out in beautiful places, and take the time to enjoy life in general. Aloha and Mahalo

"Try balance, harmony and nature for starters.
Surfing is part sport, part meditation and all working within, rather than against, nature. Winemaking? Pretty similar approach.
Both surfers and winemakers reach the summit of their respective crafts when they attain an understanding of, and a respect for, the environment in which they work (and play). Adapting to their surroundings, they achieve peak performance, on the waves and in the vineyards. "
