“West Bound and down....”
Yeungling makes a Pilsner, Lager, Light Lager, Porter, Black and Tan, and others I’m sure I’m not aware of. It is a truly American Brewery. My best friend has a family connection going back to pre-prohibition. It may not be for everyone, but it is definitely better than the Big 3 other american brands. I’n my taste it is all good for a typical beer except I tend more towards IPA’s.
Little known fact, they have the largest brewery in the US by volume.
That’s what I’m saying! Those horses need to be respected. They might paint rainbows on them. ;)
Used to be a Budweiser drinker for decades and when I wanted to drink something lighter I naturally moved to Bud Light. Yesterday my wife brought home another light beer, said she wasn't going to buy Bud Light anymore, I agreed to shop around for an alternative "light" beer. I do drink other craft type beers, but a light beer is nice when you want a few after mowing the lawn or working in the yard.
Perhaps it’s time for Bud Lite drinkers to find some actual beer made in the US by US owned companies. The second oldest family owned brewery in the US after Yeungling is Schells Brewing in Minnesota and they make some fine beers. Local craft brewers are everywhere these days and are generally small businesses. Maybe give them your support rather than some large international conglomerate owned brewer.
Yes, it does remind me of Coors.
OK, thank you very much for the reply! I wouldn’t be able to do that then. I need more bite. I can do Miller and Molsons which are now owned Coors, but the regular Coors I just cannot do. Too bland and like drinking water.
Yes, I love their history. Very interesting. I’ve never heard of Yeungling until a couple of years ago.

The story goes that they weren’t just making near-beer during prohibition and my friends Grandpa had a soda distribution which used to aid in distribution. All I know for sure is the Yuengling family sent upwards of 20 cases a month of the old 16oz bar-bottles to his house (every variety, no cost) until he died.
That was how I learned to drink beer. As long as you returned the bottles to the case, no one noticed :)
Cheers!
It’s not distributed in CA. I have found some at a few local liquor stores in San Diego County, usually by the case. But the asking price is high. IMHO it’s better that any A-B Inbev beer but can’t beat the local craft breweries we have here.
