Yuengling coming to KY
- Thread starter Ukbrassowtipin

Yeungling is amazing until it actually becomes available in your area, then it becomes the completely average low end beer it actually is.
Only beer I've ever had where the light is significantly better than the normal one. Still not saying much.
Been available in Indiana for few months now. Everybody acts like its something amazing. Got a 6 pack (bottles) of Y Light today for first time...my opinion...not amazing.
I thought everything* tasted good in a bottle....I was wrong. First and last time.
* meaning beer, I know how you guys are...

Same thing with Coors back in the early 80's.
Everybody thought it was great until it became accessible.

My brother used to say “Kentucky is where fads go to die”.
The Coors phenomenon was fueled by the Smokey and the Bandit movie, which sold a lot of black TransAms. Flying nuns couldn’t resist the combination of alcohol and fast cars.
I’ll give the Yuengling thing a fling.

I'm a Yuengling drinker, and I have to respectfully disagree with some on the quality of it, especially the draft which to me is comparable in taste to some craft beers I've had. Absolutely not in the same space as Bud, Coors etc.
Pretty good beer. But half the allure for me was I couldn't get it at home.
In the 70’s coming back from Iowa, stopped in Kansas City Kansas and loaded up the car with cases of Coors. Didn’T take long to get rid of it once I got back home. It was the not being to get it here nothing else.
Yeungling is good as a go to everyday beer when it’s available. I think it’s in the league of Sam Adams, Fat Tire, Leinenkeugel. I’m glad it’s finally coming to Kentucky. I’ll get it to drink around the house, and get better craft brews when I’m out and about.
I would put it somewhere between Budweiser and Heineken or Stella Artois.
Coors used to be a better beer than it is now. People used to buy it in returnable bottles like Old Falls City which was everyone favorite when I was at UK right before the Earth Cooled.Haha
Exactly. We used to wait for my friend's dad to bring it back after he was trucking out west. When you're 14 any beer is great though.
Just tried it recently. I can really see how someone used to drinking the generic piss could say this is the tits. It's a little too sweet for me but is tremendously better than any of the big names. I still like PBR better in the couch cushion money beer game.
One of the few beers I actually prefer out of the bottle over the draft. It's a good amber beer but there are several much better. I had never even heard of it til I moved to FL.
