I'm going out on a limb here and saying that neither Yuengling nor Blue Moon are very good beers. Yuengling is tolerable but Blue Moon is pretty much crap anymore. It was better when first introduced but something has changed with it. There are so many much better options out there....

I guess I'm a beer snob along with ZRod.

Then we're on different ends of the snob scale... Yuengling is delicious! Although I like their Black and Tan much more than the Lager. Also, Bluemoon is one of my go-to's. Though, it does taste a bit off from what I remeber nack in the day. Here in MI though, I usually get Oberon since it's the local "bluemoon".As far as Alt beers go, Alaskan Amber is far superior to Zipline. Much smoother and a slight creaminess to go with it's malty tatse. I could drink that stuff all day long.

To be fair, the time I tried Yuengling it was after I'd had a couple very hoppy IPA's. I may not have given it a fair chance. I used to like Blue Moon but the last few times I've had it was just nasty. But I do think there are many better options for either of these. I do like the Alaskan Amber and, in your neck of the woods, most of Bell's brews. Oberon, Two Hearted, Oatsmobile...all very good. There's so many good micro's around here I just don't have the time for most widely distributed beers. A few of my default staples are Sam Adams Boston lager & Octoberfest, New Belgium Fat Tire and Odells 90 Schilling. Can't go wrong with those.

I would still like to know what Pintrest board told you that drinking tap Blue Moon out of a mason jar somehow enhances it's taste.

It's the Thursday bar special at a local restaurant. I thought it was quaint - didn't know it was a hipster thing.

So there is nothing specific about it being in a mason jar? I'm being serious. When you said you liked to drink specifically Blue Moon specifically out of that type of glassware, I was genuinely curious as to why.

Do they serve all beers out of jars there or just Blue Moon?

 
It's a fun place with a good patio, and I've been there several times for a beer.

Here's a page with some reviews, and a couple of folks commenting on beer in a mason jar.

Speaking of pinterest, I googled "Wheat beer mason jar" and this came up.

Since Blue Moon is a wheat beer, it should be properly served in a vase-shaped glass.

 
Harvest Pumpkin Ale is the best Blue Moon has too offer.... I drink way too much of it every Fall..... If you're looking for a really good "just wheat" beer, it's hard to beat Boulevard Wheat.

I can't condone anyone drinking a beer with the word pumpkin in the name.

I didn't even know that. Maybe that's why it stood out enough that I made a comment on it?

 
I get a kick out of the fact that Scott Frost is the face of that 1997 team in all of these photos. He was NOT well received when he came back to Nebraska in 1996, after having spent his first couple of years at Stanford under Bill Walsh, but time heals all wounds. Most people have forgotten about that, especially after how well he played on the way to the 1997 National Championship.

A lot of players weren't fond of Frost for his role in the Phillips-McEwen conflict in '95.
