Is This A Great Ad For Yuengling Beer Or What?
Back around 1998 or so when my one sister got married, I remember relatives from North Carolina asking for it at the rehearsal dinner and being mystified by the strange name.

“Uh yeah I’ll have one of them there Wing-Lings? Or is it Ching-Lings? Is that Chinese beer?”

Origin of the name:

quote:

David G. Yuengling’s original surname was Jüngling, meaning “youth,” or “young man” in German. Jüngling changed his name to Yuengling when he arrived in the U.S.

The brewery was originally named Eagle Brewery. In 1873, the name was changed to D.G. Yuengling & Son when David’s son, Frederick, joined the business.

I always wondered about that. It seems more like a name for a panda than a beer .

Sounds like the Bandit and the Snowman need to do a run to the west. Never had it and never heard of it before this thread. Now, ;like many, many other things I see in this forum, I feel I MUST have some. So this thread IS apparently a great ad.

Back in 2019 we were in Orlando at Universal’s Cabana Bay Resort and I was really surprised to see Yuengling Lager all over the place. While getting a drink at one of the outdoor bars at the pool I asked the bartender what was up with that and he said it was made right there in Florida too now. He also said the many British tourists there loved the stuff and drank a lot of it, he said they told him it was like the amber ales they had back home.
