[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Yuengling.. (Page 1 of 3)

Dern, that picture made my mouth water!
A dear friend got me hooked on Yuengling about a year before it became available here in NC; I won't say I begged him for a beer when I saw him, but I got pretty good with the "sad, need cold beer" look  .
Yuengling is some GOOD beer. |
| It's OK, but I never understood the hype. Then again, I'm from PA so it was just another local brew. I remember about ten years ago while in College Park MD, the local liquor stores had huge "Yeungling is HERE!" signs up. You would have thought it was the second coming. |

I love the pups.

I found it to be an acquired taste. I know people who don't like it.
But once you get the feel for it, it's nice. As far as PA beers, Rolling Rock has always been a favorite beer of mine. That's about the only other one we get down here besides Keith Stone. RR's been around a while. |

Isn't made in latrobe anymore. |

Anheuser-Busch bought the name. When the switch was made, I had a six pack of Latrobe Rolling Rock and bought a six of AB Rolling Rock. The first difference I saw was that the bottle said St. Louis on the front where it used to say Latrobe. The second difference I noticed is that the AB tasted like Bud that they put in a Rolling Rock bottle. |

I don't even order it anymore, or buy it like I used to. It's interesting if you follow the whole politics of beer. It's very regional and territorial. Also, many scientific discoveries were found by folks trying to brew a better beer. I say this as I am drinking Coors.

Theres a brewery in Tampa, so its not like its rare down here.

meh, not sure why everyone out here raves about it. no better than bud or miller in my book. I'm with you, not my first choice but if all that is on hand is Bud and all it's minions I'll take Yuengling. I've been a Sierra Nevada Torpedo fan lately but Stone Brewing makes my favorites.

Nobody is saying it's the best beer in the world, but it's one of the best mass produced beers you will find. I'm originally from Wisconsin (lived there through college), so I have plenty of experience drinking cheap, regional brews. Yuengling just doesn't taste that good to me. I'm not a beer snob by any means, just don't taste anything special in Yuengling. |
