    They claim to be the oldest brewery in the US. Until recently, apparently it was available only in PA. Now they have very limited distribution outside of PA. I first had it in Florida. Since one of my kids lives in PA, I have a steady source.

    I have stopped drinking entirely outside of when I travel for work. So once a quarter, I have a three day bender essentially. The rest of the time it feels great. I 100% believe booze is killing us (like many other things). It's insane how much better you feel when not drinking at all.

    Day 31 no etoh. Still going strong. No urge to consume because I feel so much better.

    Hey, Tommy, if I was really going to bust your balls I would just tell you to go home and get your shine box.

    At least it has activity. My MJ thread went up in smoke but not in the way I had hoped.

    I've toured Yuengling and met the old man one of the sons who own the empire. Great tour, you get the see their ancient fermentation cave dug into the side of a mountain to keep it cool for lager yeast to work. Can still see where it was sealed up for prohibition.

    I first had Yuengling in Virginia in 2008 because it was the cheapest thing around that still came in bottles. Since then they've slowly been moving west. Now they're in Indiana. I asked the old man why we can't get it in Wisconsin and the picture I took away is that they are salty old German family businessmen who only expand when a golden opportunity comes along to buy up a failed brewery for pennies on the dollar.

    This one has activity because so-called beer drinkers are showing their true colors. Well, not George Cumby, I suspect he's still a real beer drinker and that he posts cuz he actually failed the one-month challenge and is in a state of denial. It's ok, George, we still accept you!

    Maybe he smokes one he will confess he has a problem.

    Problem with not drinking!

    That raises an interesting question: who feels guiltier, the weed smoker or the beer drinker? I say beer. Pot smoking seems to make people refractory to external judgment.

    Why do you have a problem with me not having a problem?

    As soon as I put my retirement paperwork in, CBD oil here I come.

    Seems about right. The beer drinker says hold my beer, then punches me in the mouth for saying he has a problem.
