So far in the beer survey, both public and private data points supplied to me
there seems to be two themes that come across.   Most Vanagoners like anything
except Bud/Miller/Coors.  Also, there has been several mentions of this
Yuengling brewery including Rons above.  I recall fondly buying Old German
from Yuengling back in my college days in the late 70's for 4 bucks a case.
Seemed like pretty good beer.  Alas, I've not seen any Yuengling on the left
side of the Mississippi.  It may have to become the official cheap Vanagon
drivers endorsed beer.  Maybe we can do a group purchase or get a list
discount ;^)

Also, Westie drivers that keep their beer in the Dometic Fridge seem to lean
towards room temperature beers.
