Today for lunch/ dinner I had a small meal at World Cafe Live, which if you haven't been or even heard about it, check it out! Live music every night in both the upstairs restaurant and downstairs big stage. They also share with WXPN.
But, with this dinner I had a great glass of Yuengling Lager. Famous for its rich amber color and caramel malt for its subtle sweetness. A true original.
They have a really cool story. They are considered America's oldest brewery. Not actually because they were the first ever in America, but the oldest to survive the prohibition. Not to mention losing the first factory to a fire in 1831, two years after they opened. Frank Yuengling, the son of Fredrick Yuengling (who started what was originally called "Eagle Brewery"), actually came up with the idea to start a dairy to help survive the prohibition. And, as soon as the prohibition ended they celebrated by producing "Winner Beer" and shipped a truck load to President Roosevelt.
