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.

Keeps getting better and better...
“How do you pronounce it?”
I was wondering that too
Yep. Have phlegm, will pronounce.
Back when I used to drink, I loved Yuengling. It isn’t a fancy IPA, but it is an excellent beer for the money.
Yuengling is ok beer but way better than AB.
Yuengling is much better than Bud Light but is still an awful, awful beer
Yuengling Summer Shandy is outstanding.
Ying Ling
I don’t drink beer anymore, but Yuengling VS. Bud (Light) ... no comparison. Yuengling is a quality product.
Transweiser.
Drag Queen of Beers
I worked with some Czechs a few years back. They said Anheuser Busch style the Budweiser recipe and began producing it in America. There’s still a real genuine Budweiser that produces the real thing in Europe. A guy gave me a bottle of the real Budweiser and it was good. Nothing like the AB p-water.
They said Anheuser Busch STOLE the Budweiser recipe and began producing it in America.
Now we know. It is amazing how a simple request can garner so many replies.
Yuengling should worry about getting a nationwide distribution network first.
Have a photo of me serving beer to my wife who knew then Brew meister Nars Norbert. We had the real tour LOL. Love the Black and Tan but the Lord Chesterfield Ale will knock ur sox off while BBQing :)
