2. Yuengling Traditional...A great amber beer that is hard as hell to get around here. My buddy is able to get this stuff once a year and it's a great time when he gets it. If anyone knows how to get some around here let me know.

Great thread to start.

As far as I know, the furthest west that Yuengling is available commercially is Memphis. Although the closest location that you can buy it is the first Alabama exit on I-10 East (Grand Bay, AL). Most gas stations and stores off of this exit have Yuengling Traditional. One grocery store about 1.5 miles south of the interstate has Traditional, Light, and Black & Tan (which is fantastic BTW).

Yuengling has two breweries. The original one in Pottsville, PA and a relatively new one in Tampa. Due to their limited brewing capacity and the popularity of the beer, they are stretched pretty thin and are limited to mostly the Eastern Time Zone.

My suggestion, anytime you're heading east past Mississippi make sure you buy a couple of cases on your way home. Also, if you have family that may be heading out to Florida for vacation, give them some money to pick some up for you on their return trip. My sister offered to do this for me a while back.

The Yuengling FAQ page linked below actually does a pretty decent job of explaining the beer's limited availability.

Fat Tire, Yuengling Black and Tan, and Newcastle. Fat Tire for when I go west, Yuengling when I go east, and Newcastle when the first 2 are not available.

Nola's Brown Ale is really good. You can get it in a mini keg at Albertsons. I'm partial to Belgian wheats and Canadian lagers.

As far as dark brews I also enjoy Ziegenbock. Despite what their website says, the beer is not limited to Texas. I have found places in Lafayette that carry it.

Also the same company that makes Ziegenbock (ICS) also make a good gluten-free amber called Redbridge.

Each beer has a purpose and a preferred time to drink.

Bass Pale Ale is a damn good beer.

Stone brewing India pale ale and imperial stout

Anything cold besides bud light

Any IPA...
But dogfish head 90 IPA or 120 IPA are excellent if you like a hoppy, slightly bitter beer.

What size beer does everyone perfer? I like 10oz Coors in a can.
