How to get Yuengling here in Louisville?

I'd put Yuengling on the "meh" list. It's not bad for what it is. I wouldn't ask someone to import some for me, but I'd drink it if offered. Yuengling always makes me think of Florida. When I'm down there it's often available at non-beer places next to Bud, Coors, etc. In that group it's the tallest midget and I usually choose it.

Cheers,

Doug

Forbidden fruit syndrome is powerful when it comes to alcohol. If I were a betting man, I would put a few bucks down that the forbidden fruit was some form of alcoholic beverage.

I totally understand that Yuengling isn't the best beer of all time. I just like it as a "cheap pilsner" lawnmower/porch beer. I love all beer, each one has their moments and when it comes to "Im broke and would love a twelve pack while I smoke these ribs" I would choose Yuengling over the usual suspects. Also, it's not AmBev or MillerCoors so I can feel a bit better about that too.

Yes! Exactly! Family Italian places around Cocoa Beach ...

This is me too. I've developed a taste for many craft beers over the last few years I like IPAs, hefeweizens, ales, and real pilsners and lagers. But sometimes I just want to drink cheap beer, especially if I'm having more than a few.

Yuengling, in my opinion, is not marginally better than Bud, Coors or Miller...its way better. If we were using a scale of 1-10 to rate beers, I would give Miller Lite a 1, Bud Lite a 2, and Yuengling a 5 or a 6. It not only has more flavor that those others, it doesn't have the putrid skunk aftertaste they do either.

Yes, absolutely. I was drinking a Yuengling yesterday while pulling weeds and I remember thinking, "This is good but not great but definitely not terrible."

I dunno, with cheap pilsners it's something about having an ice cold one (like Yuengling) that goes great with a pile of crawfish on a picnic table in the heat of summer. I mean, that's one of my favorite food moments I can think of right there. (sub crawfish for ribs, bbq, shrimps, etc as long as its outside and hot and the beer is cold!)

36 Cheap American Beers, Ranked

25. Yuengling. Why are people so into Yuengling? It's quite popular among the Pennsylvania ex-pat community, which is odd given that the beer sucks and Pennsylvanians don't strike me as an excessively prideful or self-important lot."

He was obviously trolling for web hits with that one. Which he got if you check out the comments.

I mean come on he ranked Natty Ice and the Beast above it. Gtfo.

I will agree that PBR beats all those others. Never had the rest of the top 5.

Correct. Typical Deadspin/Gawker/Life Hacker piece.

How to get a reaction 101... trash something lots of folks are passionate about.

Deadspin is a master at it when they are not acting like the TMZ of the sports world.
