Yuengling is actually pretty good when compared to expensive beers. It is absolutely worth the cost and my go-to if something I haven't tried before isn't available. If you disagree you may not know anything about beer. At all.
I guess when my options are Coors, Miller, Bud, Corona, yeah I agree...

In price and quality Yeungling is comparable to Bud. I like a stronger beer at times but if you're drinking outside in the southern sunshine, light American lagers are a great choice. frick the beer snobs.

I could have sworn that I've bought Yeungling at the Chevron at Delta, La just across the I-20 bridge from Vicksburg but maybe I'm mistaken.

Salmon,

Yeungling is considered "craft" by the Craft Brewers Association, which is a change as of last year. It's arguable, because it has corn adjunct in it.

If we're wanting a new lager in Louisiana, I would kill to have Red Oak's products... Their red oak amber and hummingbird. There are near Greensboro, NC and use the 1516 puirty law (malt water hops yeast) and its "fresh" meaning they never let it get to room temp after they lager it. Awesome stuff!

Shiner and Yeungling both kinda suck. But they both are what they are. No reason to get excited about either one. But they're cheap and better than the more popular cheap beers.


Oh man I loved Shiner when I first found out about it, probably 12 years ago or so when I first got into trying new (to me) beers & craft beers. I thought it was the greatest beer ever. Now it is available locally and I hardly ever drink it.

I've had my fair share of Yuengling. Seems we always pick up a few cases when we need a bunch of cheap beer at the lake or something like that. It's on the sweet side for my tastes, but I'd rather drink it and support an American owned family business than an international corporation.

It is highly overrated, imo. People seem to think it's the best thing since sliced bread. It's just an average to below-average lager that gives you a decent buzz on the cheap.

I was excited to find it in Florida. Meh, it tasted like a Miller product. I do not like Miller products. Bud is fantastic.

Southern Drawl is brewed in Shreveport. It's 4 ingredients and is fresh as well.
