This reminded me of one of the most memorable dinners I ever had.
Back in October of 2011 when Yuengling was first available to purchase in Ohio, a restaurant where I live had a 5 course Yuengling dinner. It was only $25 a person so me and a buddy though why not.
These 5 courses are what they served:
Course 1 - Salad with a vinaigrette made with Yuengling Light
Course 2 - Beer cheese fondue with the fondue made with Yuengling Lager and the bread was made with Yuengling Bock
Course 3 - Mini fish tacos with the fish beer battered made with Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale
Course 4 - Beef short ribs braised in Yuengling Black and Tan
Course 5 - Chocolate Cake with chocolate ganache made with Yuengling Porter
The Yuengling rep was there and they gave away tons of swag.
They also offered a beer pairing with each course for an additional $5 total so we both said why not. We just figured a 2 to 3 oz cup would be offered for each course. NOPE, we got as much beer to drink with each course as we wanted! We probably each drank 8 to 10 beers during dinner. Had to call my better half to come pick us up.
So for a total of $30 I got a 5 course dinner, 8 to 10 beers, a T-shirt, a hat, a bottle opener, and a bottle cozy.
To this day me and my buddy still talk about this experience.
Once this madness is over you should use your culinary skills and have a dinner party and make a 5 course (enter beer brand of your choice) dinner yourself for your friends. I’m sure Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada would work.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Those PBR coffee drinks are quite good. Don't let the Pabst Blue Ribbon part confuse you as it did me. They are just a spiked coffee drink, they don't taste like beer coffee.
That was a VERY limited release packaging. Strictly allocated with select stores getting a few or maybe more than a fee based on their volume of PBR. Gone in a flash. You may be able to find one on the secondary market but I suspect it would be pricey. Shop the sales and get 9 - 12 packs cheap.
