For those of not lucky enough to live where this beer is sold, a Minnesota native has introduced Founding Father’s. I personally have not had Yuengling, but I have had Founding Father’s, it is pretty good beer and supposedly one of the closest things you can find to Yuengling West of Ohio.
I have tried both and I must admit the Founding Father’s is a pretty good beer. The cool part is they give 50% of their proceeds to veterans and their families.
