This is the nickname for Yuengling’s Lord Chesterfield Ale (5.4% ABV), a full-bodied, hop-enhanced American pale ale. Named after Philip Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773), Chetty has been part of the Yuengling line-up since 1934. Lord Chesterfield was a noted diplomat, orator and man of letters. He had no direct involvement in American colonial affairs but was an opponent of the Stamp Act of 1765, predicting that it would harm trade with the colonies. The origins of the American War of Independence can be traced to this measure.
As well as the Yuengling brew, the Chesterfield County of Virginia and South Carolina is each named after the Lord.
Yuengling Brewing of Pottsville PA is a large-scale operation and is not considered a craft brewer. But its beers are often my default choice when a local craft beer is unavailable on tap: Yuengling is also brewed in Tampa so is widely to be found.
