Yuengling: What says you?

What's the deal? Some people like it, some don't. Some people like opera, some don't. Some people like Lawrence Welk, some don't. The world would be a very boring place if we all liked the same things.

 

With respect to other domestic macros, Yuelngling is at the top, IMO. Cheaper than the other usual big boys around here, too.

 

My favorite session beer of all time.

 

Where I live, it's $4.50 a six pack if you buy by the case. It's not a bad thing to pick up if you're hosting a cookout and you want to supply something that most people will likely enjoy with a burger. And if I could buy a single sixer at that price, I'd probably pick one up for myself every now and then as a post-run beer.

However, since I can get the Genesee Heritage Pack for less than that, I probably won't be buying Yuengling any time soon.

 

It's a great session beer for a night out at a bar otherwise without craft offerings, for those of us lucky enough to live in the distribution area. It's also a great offering to have in the fridge for guests, who aren't adventurous drinkers.

For me personally, it's a hometown beer that is fun to return to once and a while and enjoy mindlessly with a baseball game.

 

I don't care for it; it's not bad, it just doesn't have any flavor.

 

At $7.50/sixer, the great lakes sampler pack is a great buy as well!

 

I like it but am not too sad it's not in my distribution area. That being said i'm grabbing a case when i go to Columbus in may. anyone know of a good store that sells cases over there?

 

I says : "MEH!"

 

I think Yuengling is a quaffable and easy drinking lager. I also think it's one of those most affordable beers on the market for the quality that you get. There is a great deal of history behind the brewery, I had the chance to go a brewery visit a few years ago and had a great time.

 

Taste is subjective. That's the "deal" with this "stuff".

 

Yuengling is not that bad, its one of the beers that got me into beers. Fresh Yuengling is delicious. I, myself have been to the brewery. You can't purchase any beer at the brewery but they're a few places around Pottsville where you can. They don't sell at their brewery so they don't take away from the stores that sell their product. Yuengling in cans are a lot better than in bottles. Bottled Yuengling tastes skunked, due to the green bottles.

 

Amen! Sadly, we don't get Great Lakes here.

 

It just entered the market here in Durham, NC. Back home in Ohio I was paying $9/six pack. I just stumbled across 6 packs of the year round for 8 dollars at a Total Wine. Easter. Egg.

 

It's a beer that I can buy for my macro loving friends and I don't have to feel guilty about it since I can still support an independent brewery. And I don't mind downing a few myself on occasion...especially when it's often the only independent option on tap at many local bars.

 

I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that you "can't stand the taste of it" yet other people "have affection for" it. Seriously, what is the deal with this stuff!?! What kind of witchery is this? Must be some kind of evil mermaid menstrual potion or something...

 

I can't say I "have affection" for it or anything, but you gotta respect how long it's been around. I can't knock it too bad because it's not around in my state, but I'll get it if I'm out of state on occasion. Their Porter and Black&Tan are pretty decent in my opinion too.

 

I might just have to pick up some of their canned Black & Tan sometime soon. It's been awhile but I can remember enjoying it.

 

I can't stand the taste of human brains, but Hannibal Lector and zombies just love it! What's the deal?

But seriously, I would like to try it, but I've never seen it.
