Very good news... Being from Florida, this is one thing I certainly miss about living there.

This the only American Beer that I will pay money for..............

 

[LandArchDawg]

When I was in grad school at Penn I used to buy it by the case of 24 longnecks for about 17 bucks from the PA state beer stores. I kept a steady stock in the fridge. Good stuff.

I might get murdered here, but I think Yuengling is overrated.

It's nothing more than a slightly improved domestic (bud/coors/miller, etc). The reason people freak out about it is the same reason people got excited about coors in the 70s coming east of the Mississippi. All they need now is to remake smokey and the bandit with some douchebag millennial in the place of Burt Reynolds and make it Yuengling instead of coors.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Hmm. I'd see a movie with Bradley Cooper as Bandit, Jeremy Renner as Snowman, Jennifer Lawrence as Frog, and Louis C.K. as Sheriff Buford T. Justice...

Paul Williams as Little Enos, and Christian Bale as Littler Enos has a certain appeal as well.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

It's like when a Five Guys opens up. It's better than most of the widespread major brands, but you're not going to get something spectacular.

Tastes vary. It's my fave beer by far, but I hate hoppy beers, prefer crisp or fruity beers like Leinenkugel, and love caramel and heavier beers like coors original and dos equiis amber, so it's right in my wheelhouse.

I watched a vid where one of the owners daughters was pitching an IPL, and the old owner said they werent making one of those damn hoppy beers.

Bingo. It's a solid beer but nothing to freak out over. I usually bring back a little from Florida but it's just because I can't get it here. I'm more of a craft beer guy but my domestic of choice for fishing, beach, etc will remain white cans.

Best news I've read all day

Bell's too. Link.

Two Hearted is a great APA. One of my favorite beers. Hopslam is always popular too.

Yall can have the yuengling. Not a fan. But I do think it will generate sales in the general population. The leap from a Big 3 beer to Yuengling is not severe as Big 3>Bells Two Hearted.

Now if we can get Founders/Russian River, we will have some of the more well know micros in the market.

I'd pay $25 for a 6-pack of SmuttyNose right now. And if the cold weather would come around, the Founders Breakfast/Coffee porter is one of the best.

 

[Sutterkane]

Bradley Cooper is not a millennial. I was thinking more like Zac Effron or Shia Lebeouf

 

[FreeDawg]

To each his own but beer threads always fascinate me in relation to folk's palate. Since beer is made from hops I've never understood folks not liking hoppy beers. I'm basically the exact opposite of you. I cannot stand fruity wheat beers and I might drink 2 porters a year.

 

[Drewbowski]

Very excited about Bell's.

 

[was21]

Damn....I thought that meant OM picked up another commit

Agree on it being a slight improvement over Coors, Bud, etc., but that is the appeal for me. I like having a 12 pack of everyday beer in the fridge and just a few higher quality, more filling beers for when I want something better. Yuengling is a decent price and better than Coors but not as high priced and as filling as darker craft beer.

I'm not rushing to the store for it, but it is a great tweener option.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Agreed. I also wish Great Lakes, Dogfish Head, and Three Floyds would show up here-- I bought some of their beers in Kentucky during Thanksgiving week while visiting relatives.

 

[Dawgpile]

+1... Yuengling is decent, but nothing to get up in arms over. But, to each his own.

My only recommendation is to be wary of their Black & Tan brew.

 

[RocketDawg]

No better than Sam Adams in my opinion. SA's October Fest is quite good (but doesn't come close to Pauliner's). Yuengling has been available here for years, and it's pretty good but nothing outstanding. I suppose to a great extent it's what you don't have that seems better.

 

[DancingRabbit]

Yeah, that's how I feel about it. It's a good American style beer.

I like a lot of the craft beers, but most are either heavy or "dry" and after a couple of those I change over to a Yuengling or Coors Original.

If I'm just drinking IPAs or APAs then I have to have a glass of water on the side.

[CochiseCowbell]

Coors Original, The Banquet Beer, is one of my favorite brews. Sure, it's not cool or cutting edge to enjoy it, but I imbibe for me, & not for cool points, irony, attention, etc.

Fireball, & all it's emasculating brethren, are just Goldschlager/Rumplemints marketed to a different demographic.

Dudes are now fist bumping each other over **** that's made for split tails.

 

[NWADog]

Has anyone had Revolver?

I had it for the first time this week. It's brewed out of Fort Worth Texas I believe. Their Blood & Honey is delicious. They have a solid IPA as well. From what I've heard it's only sold in Texas though. Also if anyone likes a really hoppy beer that tastes pretty great in my opinion is Resin double IPA brewed by Sixpoint. If anyone ever stops through Fayetteville, Ar I have a few recommendations for some good beer around here. There's 4 breweries within a 20 mile radius here.

 

[dorndawg]

I by no means think Yuengling is great or anything, but I do think for a lot of us it (along with maybe Sam Adams lager) is the beer that got us off Bud Light etc and on to some quality craft beers.

 

[Jacknut1]

Well, beer is made from malts, too. "Gotta get up to get down" by Wiseacre and "Mystery Romp" from Lucky Town are two of my favorites. Don't get me wrong, i like a good hoppy IPA too, but they tend to pickle my tongue after a few. I can't stand fruity wheat beers either!

edit - Crooked Letter Brewing, not Lucky Town

 

[jakldawg]

I wouldn't hold my breath on Three Floyd's. I live in their "normal" distribution footprint, and seeing their stuff even in well-stocked stores is like finding a unicorn (except for the $10 bombers. For some reason they're easy to find).
Back to the Yuengling: the Light is pretty good. Avoid the Bock. I expected roasty & malty and got that weird corn taste that the cheaper beers can have. The $4 6-pack should have been a red flag.

 

[tmp23]

Agreed. I also wish Great Lakes, Dogfish Head, and Three Floyds would show up here-- I bought some of their beers in Kentucky during Thanksgiving week while visiting relatives.

Three Floyds is one of the better craft breweries out there. Very tough to get their beer. Cigar City and Cycle brewing are 2 more that are outstanding. Most of the better breweries are now becoming exclusive only to their tap room and not selling out to distribution, which sucks for us. Pipeworks is another that comes to mind.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I'll agree that it was difficult to find many Three Floyds at the store I was at - which had an outstanding selection (in addition to the breweries I previously mentioned, there were Founders and the distributor had just brought in some Bourbon County while I was there - the one I did see was Rabbid Rabbit.

 

[OrrDawg]

Good beer. Once you go Black (& Tan) you'll never go back.

[BulldogBlitz]

I've had it. I liked the revolver bock.

Bell's too. Link.

Now this something to get excited about. I hope we get the 2 Hearted in cans too.
