Hi Folks,
New poster here so I hope it is ok to ask about beer here. I'm in Alaska, heading to Upstate NY, then on to Columbus. My daughter is begging me to bring cases of Yuengling down to OH. We even have it in AK but not in OH? Any help out there?

Hi Folks,
New poster here so I hope it is ok to ask about beer here. I'm in Alaska, heading to Upstate NY, then on to Columbus. My daughter is begging me to bring cases of Yuengling down to OH. We even have it in AK but not in OH? Any help out there?When will you be in Columbus? I *may* be in W. Pa in a few weeks and can pick up a few cases. Message me the details if you want, and I'll be happy to help if I can.
My last trip I bought 2 cases (48 beers) for $41.00! Picked up the Lager and seasonal Bock.
We should see Yuengling here in 2012, after a nearby brewery acquisition makes the distribution possible.

I also believe it is because of distribution issues. I know some of the people at the distributing companies here and they are skeptical of getting it anytime soon. I grew up in PA and it was always the choice for that good mid-range lager. It is funny that I could get it in Texas, Florida, and Georgia but not Ohio.

After 181 Years, Local Beer Stops Playing Hard to Get
The Wall Street Journal
By David Kesmodel
October 21, 2010Now, the fifth-generation brewing scion and sole owner is poised to make his riskiest move yet to expand the nation's oldest beer maker. Yuengling (pronounced ying-ling) announced last week that it signed a letter of intent to buy a former Coors brewery in Memphis, Tenn. The facility would be the Pennsylvania brewer's largest and could more than double the company's overall capacity and allow it to expand distribution into multiple states beyond its 13-state footprint in the Eastern U.S.

It had sounded like the acquisition in TN would get Yuengling into OH. I've heard murmurs that it's still coming, but I'm assuming they're at capacity. It's not easy to just make more beer. Capital/capacity investment. In the meantime, Brooklyn Lager is a solid replacement, albeit more expensive.

I've also heard that a Columbus-area Yuengling distribution deal is really close to happening, but what I've heard is that the problem is distribution. The major distributors in town (as is disturbingly often the case) are owned by Ambev-Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors. My understanding is that Yuengling's management would prefer to sign up with an indy, but there's only one independent distro large enough to make a comparable offer, and it can't hope to match the deals offered by Ambev/MillerCoors. So it's a difficult choice.

Umm, support your local breweries?
Alana once served thaMissus and I an Amuse Bouche of seared scallops in Gates of Hell sauce (with blue cheese and celery chiffonade) and a “mystery beerâ€Â
I thought it tasted like a fresh European lager without the requisite hop bitterness.
Guess what?
It was Yuengling.Posted 1 year ago # -

It was Yuengling.I'd think that Yuengling would take away Miller/Coors/Bud sales, not from quality/local craft beer.
