But... I've bought Yuengling in Texas before. How is this news?

Yes, really excited to hear this answer and what distributor that retailer purchased it from.Boat Shoes said:AggieBarstool said:

I'm willing to try it again, but I don't remember it being all that great.

It's not.
It certainly doesn't belong on the Beer Thread, but it definitely belongs in the beer fridge. It's better than the big 3 and is around the same price, which makes it appealing to some. There's a reason I compared it to Lone Star and not Pliny the Elder.expresswrittenconsent said:HTownAg98 said:

Yes! Yuengling doesn't compete with craft beer, it competes with Bud, MGD, and Coors (and Yuengling Light with Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Coors Light). And Yuengling beats them all by a mile without being any more expensive. No reason to ever buy any other cheap beer once Yuengling is on the shelves.
meh.

I put it in the same category as Pearl before they went contract with Miller in the late 90s.
Just a great "drinking to get drunk/need a keg for a party" beer.
I'll probably pick some up occasionally, but if I'm looking to drink cheap beer it's hard to beat High Life.
High Life is the champagne of beers after all.

After the recent influx of California people, I kinda miss the days when we hated yankees coming down here. Maybe bringing in their mediocre yankee beer will swing the tide back their way. I don't think there is any way for both groups to stop moving here, and if they did some other group would fill their void and probably be worse than both.
Yuengling is horrible.
beach beer.

Shiner wants like $10 for a 6-pack these days. Yuengling wants $6. Less when it's on sale.
Yuengling is what Shiner should be.
Yuengling is a lot better than Shiner

Agreed
Do you just enjoy being wrong, or is it painful for you?
Yuengling is not a great taste, less filling so why is this news?

Of all the things Texans are irrationally proud of, shiner is near the top of the list.

Don't forget blue bell. While it is good and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, there's much better ice cream out there.

Good point. At least a differentiator with Shiner's main offering is that it's a Bock, and not just another domestic lager.
I like it. Lived in Philly for a short while and got hooked on it. I'm not a beer officionado but I find it more robust and flavorful than most cheap beers like Bud and Coors, but pretty light and easy drinking compared to most dark beers, even Shiner. It's like a nice "medium" beer that plenty of people will turn their nose up to, but if you like it, don't be ashamed.
Sorry to be that guy, but it is a domestic lager and not a bock, despite their clever marketing. Besides, bock is technically a lager anyway. Shiner and Yuengling are not too terribly different.Chipotlemonger said:AggieOO said:

The more you know! I figured 'technically' it's not a Bock like you would brew at home or get traditionally. Just a way to signal to people that it's going to be a little...darker? Or caramely? than most domestic lagers.
That being said, I much prefer Yeungling to Shiner.

This is like anything else that is scarce. If it's hard to get, it becomes desirable regardless of quality.

I remember having to sit between cases of Coors on our summer roadtrip to visit family.. it was like our own mini Smokey and the bandit
My uncle used to make runs to CO back in the day to get it. Also, we just watched Smokey and the Bandit not too long ago and it's still fantastic. It has aged well.Duncan Idaho said:

Funny, I texted the story to a buddy of mine (who is far more of a beer aficionado that I am, but who is a fan of Yuengling), and his response was "I don't know, if I don't have to bootleg it in, I'm not sure I'll like it as much."YouBet said:
