Did you know that Yuengling actually makes a true Premium beer brewed and aged properly - not some rice based brew with instant yeast added by some conglomerate chemist. it is hard to find but is very good.

The only other true premium in the East that I know of is Matt's made by Utica Club and has the unique distinction of being one of the very few non-pasteurized beers marketed in the USA - the others are micro brews. Accordingly it has a very short shelf life and is not sold beyond Albany or Rochester. Alas it is very hoppy and extremely "yeasty" and is an acquired taste. People that drink light beer hate it!
