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.

I have not seen it at all in Az. I don’t think they have any licensed territory distributors here... I will have to look harder and see.
I never tried it because it wasn’t sold in my part of the country. I have had people who did drink it tell me how good it is. I’m sorry I never tried it.
I just realized, it’s been six years since I stopped drinking. Wow.
…And non-union to boot.
Bland like regular Coors? If so then I ain’t going to like it. I need a bite and a linger of taste like expensive beers. Akin to extra sharp cheese...
Well Republicans do like to "pounce", according to the media.
I agree. I love the beer.
Transweiser.
I’m gonna steal that, lol!
Good luck. If you are ever in Albuquerque, Kelley’s liquors sells it. Or, if you have base access in AZ, the PX, or BX, may carry it.
The gaystopo will pull out all the stops to ensure that we fail.
They will buy this crap by the case.
We must NOT buy it by the truckload.
Thank you!
Yuengling Chocolate Porter. The. Best.
Can we get Yuengling out here in CA yet? BevMo? Wine and More?
‘How do you pronounce it?’
ideally, it should be pronounced Yoingling, in the same way that the battleship Bismarck consort, Prinz Eugen, was pronounced Oigen...
but eerybody just says ying-ling...
COOL! Thank You!
“Yuengling???” I don’t know if I trust Chinese beer. What if we get in a war, and they cut off our supply???
You're welcome, but I don't think it will help you in Arizona. Yet.
Kudos for the ‘quit drinking’.
Personally, I’ve been skirting a love affair with various alcoholic beverasge since age 18 when I joined tye USArmy.
Beer has been a big part of that, certainly.
I’m now a happy Senior Citizen, and still enjoying a variety of premium whiskies, bourbons, Scotches, Gins, and craft beers.
Right now I have a liquor shelf of 154 expressions. I don’t over indulge, but I do indulge.
Be safe, telescope115, and have a wonderful life.
Yuengling tastes like beer. AB products taste like piss water. That has always been the case.
Hopefully they will expand out that way now.
You bet!
