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.

Thank you very much! Your support is greatly appreciated!
God bless you.
Or,Queer buds.
Could get interesting...
Thanks. I was wondering about the pronunciation myself. Never had one but will certainly give it a try.
I think the impact will just be from the looks and comments people will get if they are seen drinking Bud Light.
Bought Golden Pilsner for the first time.
Do you have Total Wine? Or a similar large liquor store? They typically have a good selection of domestic and import beers.
Good point. Bud Light's finished.
It’s good but not cheap in Texas. Well, not cheap like Bud...
I’ll stick to Shiner. My old beer of preference was Modelo Negra. But that’s AB Inbev now.
My favorite Yankee beer was Genesee Cream Ale but I haven’t had any in years.
Another good “cheap” beer.
Right ee-o. Yuengling means “young man” in German. Been my favorite beer for fifty years. As my grandfather said, Budweiser is embalming fluid.
St. Louis area dude here (for the time being). Worked at A-B as well.
I have been meaning to get some Yuengling and this is going to be the time that I do it. No more Bud.
It’s tough
To argue

‘Cause they put
Too much love
In to it
These so-called “woke” companies are all flexing their true fascist underpinnings.
This way the world order will know who they can count on and will give them contracts and political and legal favorability.
Bought some a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to like it. I really did but there was no after taste. It just stopped midway. I hope that makes since. Would not buy again.
Never seen it here.
Looking this week. Thanks!
Damn. East coast only and regional at that.
No, like “Jüngling,” a youth or teenager.
It’s just as well they changed the spelling.
