I had in-laws visiting for the Memorial Day weekend last week. We took them around to see the sights, including a trip to Washington, D.C.
They brought me beer.
Better yet, they brought me beer I’d never seen before.
Yuengling brewed their Bock last year to celebrate their 180th anniversary and it was only available in kegs. They hadn’t done a Bock in over 40 years. It was so popular that they brought it back this year, and now in bottles.
The label art is even based on the original artwork from 1941. I love the retro look.
Medium golden brown, clear, with a thick head the color of linen. The aroma is light, but becomes more prevalent as it warms. Malty. A touch of vanilla perhaps? Mouthfeel is fairly thick, though perhaps not as much as I expected. Malty with a little nuttiness. This is pretty good.
Some other impressions from around the beer-o-sphere:
Grrrrr. I REALLY wish I could get Yuengling in Massachusetts.

I’m surprised they don’t distribute up that way. Of course, they did just announce that they’re expanding into West Virginia and that’s a neighboring state. Is a trip to New York out of the question?
Yuengling’s the name of this beer,
It can’t be found ’round here,
But head to the coast,
And then you can boast,
That you drank the brew without peer.
