Yuengling accuses Bud Light of trampling on trademark

A trademark tiff between America's oldest beer maker and its best-selling beer brand appears to be over before it really began.

Last week, D.G. Yuengling & Son demanded its much larger rival, Anheuser-Busch, stop using a tagline for its forthcoming Bud Light Next zero-carb beer.

Bud Light had been calling it the "next generation of beer."

Yuengling says that's too close to the trademarked slogan it uses for its low-carb brew Flight.

Yuengling poked fun at Anheuser-Busch on social media and sent the beer giant a cease-and-desist letter.

Anheuser-Busch has since scrubbed its social media accounts of the disputed posts.

I bet both will taste like spring water. I like a beer that’s so malty and yeasty, you feel you could actually bite off a piece and chew it.

I tried the Black and Tan recently. I thought it was nasty.

No but I love retro!!

Have fun, or not...

This is the first time I’ve heard of Yuengling beer. I’m 72. Hoe famous can it be?

[Clemenza]

Yuengling is actually beer. Bud lite is for people who voluntarily wear worthless face masks and voted for Biden.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Even I have heard of it and I don't drink beer.

Maybe you live on the West Coast?

Beer Advocate gives it a rating of 78 = Good

Notes: Famous for its rich amber color and medium-bodied flavor with roasted caramel malt for a subtle sweetness and a combination of Cluster and Cascade hops, this true original delivers a well-balanced taste with very distinct character. Born from a historic recipe that was resurrected in 1987, Yuengling Traditional Lager is a true classic.

Yuengling on tap is pretty common around San Antonio. They were even the sponsor for a Ray Wylie Hubbard radio show on KNBT. Good stuff....Both the beer and the radio show.

Here in NE PA, Yuengling is all we drink.

[mylife]

Very famous.

[colorado tanker]

Bud Light is an oxymoron.

[GingisK]

I live in Atlanta.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Interesting.

Maybe it is a North East / Midwest thing.

[GingisK]

I’ll keep my eyes in scan mode. I don’t go to pubs much.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I don't go at all.

But I did work in a gas station. You see all the beers there.

Yuengling is from Pittsburg. A very good beer. Much better than any Busch beer. Anybody who thought it was from China is not a beer snob, but a beer slob.

[hinckley buzzard]

Stella? Really? that’s grunt beer.

[P.O.E.]

Been drinking Yuengling Premium for about 30 years or so. Top notch, in my book.
