Yuengling — America’s oldest brewery — ain’t sitting idly by as Bud Light sinks like a brick. In fact, it appears the iconic beer wants a little of that $5 billion action that Anheuser-Busch lost this week.
In perfect passive aggressive fashion for 2023, Yuengling’s official twitter account was ready to pounce like a pack of wild wolves Friday afternoon.
Shortly after AB released an official statement in the wake of the Dylan Mulvaney fallout, Yuengling fired off its first tweet in a week with a simple message: we make good beer!
Yuengling vs. Bud Light. Who ya got?
Could it have been coincidence? Sure, if your head’s in the sand. For us conspiracy theorists in the #content game, this was the first shot fired in what appears to be a brewing Beer War.
A quick glance at the comments under both tweets shows the folks over at Yuengling have taken an early 1-0 lead, too.
Well, scratch that — make it 10-0, because Bud Light fired off its first tweet minutes before Yuengling dusted off the keyboard, and … it didn’t go well.
Whoooooof.
Don’t get it twisted — the folks over at Yuengling and Miller are throwing parades right now as Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch burn to the ground, little by little.
In case you missed it, the early returns ain’t great. Stock reports from earlier in the week show AB’s lost a cool $5 billion in value since crap hit the fan a few weeks ago, and the story certainly doesn’t appear to be fading away.
In fact, one beer expert (which sounds like an awesome job) sounded major alarm bells earlier this week when he said this Bud Light protest may indeed have legs.

Yuengling is vastly superior to gay buds. And not expensive either.
Yuengling is good beer, and the brewery is only an hour away, here in PA.
Yuengling owners busted a union and are heavily Republican.
So much so the teamsters tried (and failed) to boycott them.
Employees much happier without the Democrat fake union that just stole.
Yeah, at the casino poker room where I was playing, they only had Yeungling’s Flight and some other cheap American beer. I don’t usually drink light beer or standard American beer, but Flight is decent. It might be a good choice for some to switch to.
Bud Light
Doesn’t ‘Bud’ mean:
Friend; chum. Used as a form of familiar address, especially for a man or boy.
So is Bud ‘light’, light in the loafers?
Or a male beer, not yet trans’d.
Or a female beer, declaring as male?
Women are tired of corporations playing their games and using femface to insult them with depictions of woman as Jessica Rabbits or silly tropes like the Dylan character.
Went on sale only last month in Missouri. Sales brisk I understand.
How do you pronounce it?
Truth is that I even prefer The Beast to either of them. Coors, Corona, etc., are also shockingly bad. I don’t know what Shiner or Guinness or Sam Adams are up to, but I’d rather drink a real beer than Bud Lite.
After a trip east, I brought a 6 pack home with me here in the PNW.
A neighbor was over and I offered him one. He declined because it wasn’t union brewed. “F him”, I thought, and drank the 6er by myself
It’s a German name, not Chinese.
“Yoo” - no, “Yoon”, wait, “Yoog”...”Yerg”...”gimme another one of those.”
Yuengling...my brand of choice. Good beer, still American owned.
Love their Black & Tan! Yuengling is great beer!
Bud Light is now Trans Beer.
There won’t be any coming back from that.
From the very beginning of this corporate woke madness, I’ve wondered why companies don’t just issue a blanket statement saying, “We don’t get involved in politics. We make cars (or whiskey, or beer, or whatever).” Seems like such a simple statement would save them a whole lot of grief, and 99% of their customers would genuinely appreciate it.
Good for Yuengling.
Corporate woke is becoming so common that non-woke companies should have the outline of a marketplace attack plan ready in case their competitor goes woke, just as we keep the outline of an attack on Canada in a file, just in case we need something quick.
Yeng ling.
Hopefully they have to build a bigger brewery to handle the increased business.
