Yuengling Traditional Lager Beer, 12 fl. oz. bottle, 12 pk.

Famous for its rich amber color and medium-bodied flavor, with roasted caramel malt for a subtle sweetness and a combination of cluster and cascade hops, this true original delivers a well-balanced taste with very distinct character. Born from a historic recipe that was resurrected in 1987, Yuengling Traditional Lager is a true American classic. 

Brewing Process 

1. All brews start in the cereal cooker where water, corn grits, and malted barely are added and cooked for 2 hours at 210° F. 

2. More water and malted barley are added in the mash tun. Here the starches converted into sugars that can be fermented. Light beers are cooked longer and at lower temperatures to reduces sugar content. 

3. At this point the sugar-rich liquid, known as wort, is moved to the Lauter Tun. Here the grain and liquid separate through the sieve-like base of the vessel. 

4. Once the sweet wort is transferred to the brew kettle, the hops are added which gives the brew flavor, aroma, and bitterness. 

5. The Wort is cooled and moved to the Fermenting Cellars where yeast is added or “pitched”. The yeast converts sugars from the malt into alcohol and carbon dioxide. 

6. After active fermentation, the brew is cooled and moved to the Aging Tank for about 20 days. At this stage, the yeast settles, and the beer’s flavor becomes smoother. 

7. The beer is then filtered to purge the remaining yeast and stabilize the flavor. Carbon dioxide is adjusted to ensure superior flavor. The beer is then moved to the finishing tanks. 

8. Once the brew is finished it is pumped to the can line, bottle line, or kegged for our beer loving fans.
