* '''Original Black & Tan'''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/black-and-tan/?back=seasonal|title=Black & Tan (D.G. Yuengling & Son Inc.)}}</ref>
: This [[black and tan]] is a mixture of Yuengling Premium Beer (40%) and Dark-Brewed Porter (60%). It was introduced in 1986.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.yuengling.com/beers.htm |title=Fine Beers |work=Yuengling.com |access-date=2009-05-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080729044021/http://www.yuengling.com/beers.htm |archive-date = July 29, 2008}}</ref>
* '''Dark-Brewed Porter'''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/porter/?back=seasonal|title=Porter – Yuengling|website=www.yuengling.com}}</ref>
: A [[Baltic porter]] with a very dark [[cola]] color, appearing almost black in the glass with a pale tan head, and a strong [[malt]] flavor. Porter originated in England in the early 1700s and became popular in Colonial America, with production concentrated in Pennsylvania. When German brewers like D.G. Yuengling began brewing in America, the popularity of porter led them to add porters to their offerings. Prior to the start of the craft brewing revolution in the 1970s, British breweries had ceased brewing porters, while Yuengling, Stegmaier and Narragansett were the only breweries still producing porters on a regular basis in the United States.<ref>"American Porters", by Martin Lodahl, https://www.morebeer.com/articles/american_porters</ref> For this reason, these breweries have been credited with helping to keep the porter style alive. Rather than using the traditional [[top-fermenting yeast|top-fermenting]] [[ale]] yeasts used in most porters, Yuengling's porter is [[bottom-fermenting yeast|bottom-fermented]]; few mainstream breweries produce this style. Since the 1800s it has been known as "Pottsville Porter".
* '''Lord Chesterfield Ale'''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/lord-chesterfield-ale/?back=seasonal|title=Lord Chesterfield Ale (D.G. Yuengling & Son Inc.)}}</ref>
: Named for [[Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield]], this is Yuengling's [[hops|hoppiest]] beer. Although Yuengling brewed ales in the 1800s,<ref>Pottsville Republican, Feb. 14, 1885, p. 7</ref> Lord Chesterfield Ale was introduced in 1934 and was described then as a Canadian type ale.<ref>Pottsville Evening Republican, Dec. 29, 1934, p. 6</ref> Although originally top fermented in wooden tanks, in the 1960s Yuengling switched to bottom fermenting yeast with no change in taste or character.<ref>Dick Yuengling, Jr. quoted in "Forever Yuengling: America's oldest brewery is building one of America's newest breweries, right in its hometown of Pottsville, PA" ''Modern Brewery Age'', Jan. 18, 1999, {{cite web|url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Forever+Yuengling%3A+America%27s+oldest+brewery+is+building+one+of...-a054010869|title=Forever Yuengling: America's oldest brewery is building one of America's newest breweries, right in its hometown of Pottsville, PA. - Free Online Library }}</ref> Like the Traditional Lager, it is usually sold in green bottles (but also in cans) and has an element of corn in its profile. It is very carbonated and tends to sprout a large but short-lived head when poured. As of 2007, Lord Chesterfield is no longer sold in kegs. However, quarter kegs were put back on the market in October 2008.
