Current Goal

This bug is attached to a Yuengling bottle/can opener. Yuengling is the oldest Brewery in America. Located in Pottsville, PA they started brewing in 1829, 5 generations later they are still brewing there today. The goal of this opener/bug is to travel around the WORLD while assisting thirsty, beer-lovin' Geocachers open as many different kinds of beer as possible after that long day out in the field. It started its journey by opening an ice-cold bottle of Traditional Lager on 5/27/03 in Lancaster, PA.

About This Item

America's Oldest Brewery Bug - by iBrew

Please, DO NOT acquire this bug unless you plan on opening and logging a "DIFFERENT" type of beer with it. After acquiring this bug and opening a beer with it - log info on the brand, style and type of beer it was used to open (multiple opens per stop are encouraged). If you have a digital camera, why not take a picture of the label and upload it? Let’s see how many different types of beer across the globe we can log. Please keep the message with the bug in a zip-lock baggie as you move from cache to cache. Thanks for playing!

Picked this little guy up while getting lost in Huntington Reservoir, Indiana.
Ben plans to add some Amber Bock or a Michelob Light cap later this weekend.
Then, we'll move this guy on.

We took the TB to visit a man who has sampled hundreds of different kinds of beer. He donated a beer coaster from the Great Basin Brewing Co. in Reno-Sparks, NV to go into the TB's loot bag, and we added the cap from the bottle of Kalik Beer of the Bahamas that we drank. Kalik is a very light and hoppy-tasting beer.

We also have a friend who has begun to brew his own beer, so we opened a bottle of batch #4, and donated the cap to the loot bag. Each batch of Broussard Beer is very different as he and his son experiment with recipes. Batch #4 was very dark and full-bodied, like a stout, but sweet rather than bitter. It didn't have much of a head, but we may have waited too long to open it.

We enjoyed both, and wish this TB fair travelling.
