I looked on their web site and googled it but couldn't find the
answer.
It seems to me from my tasting that they used lager rather than ale
yeast.
Does anyone know for sure whether they use ale or lager yeast for
their porter?

Although I have never been able to confirm it, I have read that
Yuengling uses the same (lager) yeast for all their brews, even Lord
Chesterfield "Ale." Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I
don't even remember where I read it. Of course, if it was somewhere on
the internet it *MUST* be true, right?

IIRC, they use the same lager yeast for all of their beers. Yes, it's a
little weird to make a porter with lager yeast, but I've definitely heard
that about Yuengling before.

Nor really, just look up Northern Brewer's Baltic Porter in their High
Gravity Ale Kit section. I've brewed this using CA Lager yeast, and
it turned out to be quite tasty. NB states that this style is
traditionally made with lager yeast. (I realize YP does not claim to
be a Baltic, tho)

Yeah, Baltic porters are definitely made with lager yeast. It's a bit of
a less common style though. I just meant that in general, a porter made
with a lager yeast wasn't the usual way of doing it.
