NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Yuengling beer is now available in Louisiana. The brewery's traditional lager, light lager and black and tan beers will hit stores and bars starting today. Yuengling is America's oldest brewery, starting off in Pottsville, Pennsylvania 187 years ago.Aug 1, 2016

I'll be grabbing some Black and Tan.

Oh boy... The whole world has just changed in Louisiana... That's some damn good beer!!!

...though my son returned from NO with some of the hoppiest beers I've ever tasted (not a huge fan of overly hoppy beers). Hoppiness seems to be in fashion down there. Not sure if Yeungling will fit the bill if you like hops!!!

I'd have to re-read the OP, but not being sure what is available down there, Chesterfield Ale is pretty decent in the IBU category. Dick Yuengling has something against hops, it seems. All in all, he likes a more German beer profile. American ales from craft brewers are hop dominant.

Yuengling did test the waters this year with a IPL (India Pale Lager) which for yuenling, and compared to other craft brews, did a decent job of hitting the mark.

Bottom line: Yuengling has the proud novelty of being America's oldest (surviving) brewery, family owned and thriving. That in itself is pretty cool. The beer itself is decent, and definitely better than the big commercial swill.
