This is a one-time-only brew, a special corn-based beer which is named as a tribute to all the farmers in Chester County who grow the food we eat. It was brewed at the request of Michael Jackson for his annual Tutored Tasting at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology on March 18, 2006, which focused on the use of different grains in making beer. Chester County Lightning’s simple, unchallenging flavors and 6.8% ABV will help heal the body’s soreness and erase the memory of a hard day’s work in the fields. Enlightenment for the mind and soul would be a bonus, should it occur. It was brewed using lots of flaked maze and corn syrup, and hopped very delicately.

[1] Review by E from Spring Mountain, PA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/18/2006 2:14:51 PM)
"Poured a golden color with a very small, white head that left no lacing on the glass. Aroma of corn, honey, grains, and faint spiciness. Taste was abrasive, sharp, sweet corn taste, some tin, and alcohol in the back. I’d take a Featherweight Lager over this, I couldn’t finish it."
