I was very happy to hear Yuengling brought back their Bock Beer again. They made it for a few years some time ago and then it disappeared. I'm hoping it tastes the same as before. I'll find out soon.

Good question, they made it for a few years in a row some time ago and then they quit. I haven't heard if this is a one time thing or if it will be seasonal. If I get a chance I'll have to ask up by the brewery at their new store. Maybe someone knows.

Back when I still drank, I had the Yuengling Bock. It was decent. At one time most brewers had a Bock. It was once literally the dregs from a Springtime clean out of the vats. For as crappy a brand it was, the most common beer in my area more than 40 years ago, was Schmidts of Phila. Anyhow, they had a Bottled Bock every Spring and it was some seriously good swill.
The best specialty brew I've had from Yuengling was their Octoberfest, but only some years. In a good year, it tasted like the contract Festival amber that they used to make for beer festivals before they got so big. They also had a Hefeweizen (summer wheat beer) that was very good. I only saw that one year, but maybe they still do a batch now and then. The wildest contract brew Yuengling did long ago was for one bar only in Reading. It was nicknamed "Molesterfield". It was a kegged mix of their Lord Chesterfield ale and their dark Porter. Sort of a wilder version of the old half and half draft beer mix. Back in the day, that was half Reading Premium and half Yuengling Porter.
