Default Question for those that live or are based in ATL!

Why in the heck cant we get Yuengling (probably the greatest beer ever) in Georgia? Not only can I NOT buy beer on Sunday but I cant get Yuengling at all in the whole state, somebody shoot me! Its sold all up and down the east coast but not Georgia. What gives??!? I dont know whats worse, I dont have to commute now but Im in beer misery land.

Friends started a grass roots campaign to get Yuengling in Georgia, PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!

www.bringyuenglingtogeorgia.com

I apologize for posting in the worng forum, but I couldnt find a non-aviaition forum and every pilot I know loves Yuengling!

A Yuengling Black and Tan (on draught) and a cheesesteak sandwich is, by itself, reason enough to bid PHL layovers.

Please tell me it aint so

I did some research the max alcohol content in GA is 6% and Yuengling Lager is only 4.4%, Black and Tan is only 4.7%

So that cant be right.

For an excellent selection of beers on tap, visit Joe's on Sullivan: 2144 Sullivan Rd
Atlanta, GA 30337 (404) 844-5000. Nearby the airport.

Probably no Yuengling, but some nice selections.

Yuengling? Hell, I can't even say that!

There you Yankees go commin' down here and *****in' y'all don't like what we got again.

Why not try one of our fine Southern beers? Like Bud, or even Busch? You do know that Busch is the official beer of NASCAR, right?

Budwiser, while brewed in various other locations, was born at and is still made in St. Louis. I have never heard a Southerner claim St. Louis as part of the Confederacy.

Yuengling (YING-LING), from PA, is one of the oldest brewers in the US.

I like the south, it's a great place.

By the way, what is NASCAR?

Yuengling is a nice beer. Some of us are old enough to remember when it was awful!

But the sons took over. They expanded things. They made real beer. But they won't ship to where they can't ship fresh.

I just had dinner at Joe's. For some reason, their whole tap system was down tonight. Had to settle for a bottle of Heineken. Last night, things were up and running and the Warsteiner sure tasted good.
