True story: I grew up near the Yuengling brewery, and back in the mid-1970s, when my high-school buddies and I started drinking, Yuengling had a reputation of being the pits. Worse than, say, Schaefer. Everyone I knew thought so, and so did their dads (and in my town, the moms, too). It was extremely inexpensive because just about nobody wanted to buy it.
Then when I was in my 20s, I got invited to dinner at the home of some friends who were macrobiotic, and believed in eating local, natural foods. When the husband offered me a beer, I was shocked--yeah, actually shocked--that it was a Yuengling. He explained, "don't you know, they're brewed according to the German purity law," or something like that. So I gave it a try, and it was good beer! And it was still cheap back then, in the mid-1980s. Then people caught on, demand rose, and the price increased to what the other good beers sold for.
I can't believe the amount of Genessee and Rolling Rock my high-school buddies and I drank when we could have been drinking Yuengling instead!
Regards,
John

Went to a new store today. Earth Fare. It's a new grocery store in my area. Organic store like Trader Joes. And picked up a new beer for myself.
A natural wheat beer. Paulaner Munchen Hefe-Weizen. Very good! Thanks for the suggestions. I'm always on the look out for a new brew.

I found out about a month ago that I have celiac disease and had to remove all wheat from my intake. There went beer. 
But wait! I've since found two Gluten-Free flavors under one Belgium label that are quite good.
Greens Discovery and Greens Quest. They also have a darker variety called Greens Endeavor, I think it is, but I haven't tried it yet.
Side-effect bonus. I've lost a little over 10 pounds in one month.
