Yuengling's great! I knew you had to be in Penn somewhere having a keg of it. It's actually available in Miami, in bottles.

Most people I see only really use the back foot or so of their trunk...the rest is all clutter. I find the MINI boot brilliantly adequate....much, much better than schlepping around all that extra frame and sheet metal all over the place.

Yuengling... that man knows his beer.

If it's their Black & Tan brew, I may have a new best friend !

I always pick up my beer in the MINI. Get it home before it gets warm.

I'm 5' tall and can fit in the boot w/ the door closed if I curl myself in a fetal position.

I guess the disturbing part of this post is the fact that you KNOW that!!

can we change the name of this thread to the Yuengling appreciation thread and just wax philosophical about the wonders of this fine brew?

and CR&PW&JB, i like the Black & Tan, i really do, but i cant pass up the real thing.

And it was my delight to find that Yuengling flows freely down here in SC too. Its almost easier to find here than in NY!!

Are you implying that Black & Tan isn't "real" beer ?
