The thing that's great about Yuengling isn't that it's this incredible craft beer, it's that it's the same price as any average domestic, and yet has much more character and flavor than your Millers and Buds for the same price. Add to that the awesome history, and you have an all time classic beer.

I'm happy to say that Yuengling is not offered anywhere within 100 miles of where I live, according to the Yuengling website. I am in no danger of having to drink one any time soon.

better catch those guys who force beer down your throat before they get away!

No kidding. I hate it when that happens. I mean, I had to drink a Sam Adams Winter Lager the other day. I'm still trying to get the taste out of my mouth...

To put it simply, yes. That's absolutely correct all around.

Don't forget that in this realm, we are the 1%.

And that's where our opinions differ - it's only marginally better than the large scale adjunct lagers.

I think you've hit upon why craft beer has room to grow, and folks should not worry so much about too many breweries opening up. There are a lot of people out there just waiting to discover craft beer. I think Yuengling is a step in that direction, even if it is just a psychological step...

Yeungling, fat tire, purple haze, etc are good for the starter kit
