I prefer Flight. I'm drinking my second one of the evening right now.

I know that they made some kind of deal with Molson-Coors in TX for contract brewing which expanded the footprint greatly. No problem getting it in the southeast, because they have a brewery in Tampa.

LOL. Tastes fine to me. I bet the stuff brewed in TX is suspect, however.

I went on the tour before they had the fire. I'm looking forward to going again when they get everything else built that's in the works.

when it was actually cheap and before Dick became an unhinged lunatic about unions, it was fine. now, if im gonna drink cheap stuff, ill take some Lion's Head from Wilkes-Barre or Miller Lite when im trying to be thrifty.

but it's tough turning down some New Trail, incredible stuff coming out of there. or one of the many amazing breweries we have in PA.

Yuengling Light is gross. Just drink regular Yuengling. Squeeze a little lime juice in. It's life-changing.

Haven't bought it since 2015. Once they got political I lost interest

Ew just looked it up and they're trump supporters. I liked their beer before I started getting into craft ipas but this makes me never want to support them again. Hate throwing my money to enemies of Americans

Yuengling Light 99 is way closer to Mich Ultra than it is Yuengling lager.

I quit 5 years ago, but my sister used to bring me back cases of Yuengling.

heck yeah... it wasn't that long ago when I was at King's (couple years ago, pre Rona obviously) but I think we bought a case for $8, maybe $9? a kegger for dirt cheap...

even when i grabbed my most recent case it was only $13... 24 16oz cans, apparently they don't do 12oz cans anymore bc they can Monster on their lines when it's slow so they agreed to transition the lines to 16oz cans permanently. im not complaining.

good local breweries are easy to find in PA. I haven't had beer from cans for years.

Yuengling was what I drank when I first turned 21 and thought it was great, now it's disgusting and the people who own the company are shit. If you want better beer that's like that drink yards.

Fuck Yuengling. Asshole company. Don’t carry them at our bar anymore for good reason.

It tasted good when it was Obama’s favorite, it tasted good when they supported Trump and it tastes good now.

I was at a conference and they happened to be in the same building as us. They were celebrating closing the deal. Their big push is going to be on Flight. They expect that to be huge going forward.

We used to buy it just because of the fact that it had puzzles under the bottle caps and provided some extra entertainment and i could actually afford it, $13 a case aint bad and it was definitely bearable for that cheap

I agree that they seem to be a good company. Hell, they're just down the road from me really. But I'm pretty sure they just suck up water from the Susquehanna, carbonate it, bottle it, and call it beer. It's vile.

I've never been but I have to check it out. Where abouts are you in N.C.? My in-laws live down there so I am in the state occasionally. I'd run ya down a case or two if it's not too far outta the way.

Even if some of the worst people weren't running it, it's still a terrible beer
