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!

We got this from You Can't Get There From Here.

I like the idea of this travel bug and I'm glad it's here in Vermont. I hope it stays here a while since there are so many great local micro brews from here.

The night we found this, I cracked open a Harpoon IPA, which is not a VT beer, but it was what I had in the house. I've since used it open a few Whitetail Golden Ales from Rock Art Brewery in Morrisville, VT.

I lived in Bangkok, Thailand for five years so I tracked down a Singha beer to qualify my find for this bug. My first taste of Singha was after a long-tail boat ride up the Kwai River. We saw the famous bridge, elephants bathing in the river and finally swam in a waterfall in the jungle. After all that, we had lunch on a house boat with the coldest Singha ever! I'll move this bug north next week.
