Any time something gets a lot of attention, it's bound to get the "overrated" treatment.
Yuengling expanding distribution
- Thread starter Messi

In past the status buy, honestly 90% of the time I buy BL chelada because it helps my digestion.
For me it’s hard to drink just one
If you are OLD Coors had that same thing going for it a long time ago.Wasn't sold here...
I liken it to Spotted Cow or Michelob Golden Light for those old enough to remember. Can't get it and everyone talks about it, so FOMO sets in.
It's not bad for a mass produced American Lager. I bought some today.
I don't know how it'll go as time goes on but I hope that establishments keep it grouped with "domestics" and not a micro.
Same. If it's treated like a micro, it will flop. If it's treated like a macro, it will succeed.

I assume Coors paid for that placement but damn it worked.
According to a quick google, no, coors did not pay for product placement. What a gift they got, a free feature length commercial that was only second in popularity to Star Wars.
Bandit: Why you want that beer so bad?
Little Enos: Because he's thirsty, dummy.

That movie was a lot of fun. Reynolds and Fields really played well off of each other. It was a great teen ager movie.

Not seeing the resemblance to MGD light. Yuengling is darker, maltier, higher ABV, higher IBU, and 150 calories vs about 110 for MGD Light. It seems closer to Michelob Amberbock than it does to MGD.
fwiw, I like Yuengling when I can get it on draft. Seems different out of a can, but that could have been due to the long haul it took to reach me in Iowa when I had it (prior to their distribution here).
If you like spotted cow, sam adams original, or exile ruthie, you might like Yuengling. I personally classify all those as fall/winter/spring lagers. Too heavy for a hot summer day

20+ years ago Michelob Golden Light wasn't sold in Iowa and people would drive to MN to bring back cases of it. Same as Spotted Cow today. Neither are great beers but have/had mythical status.
I have never understood the appeal of IPA. To me it tastes like skunky weed smells, which is fine, but not exactly appealing. Its not what I call refreshing in any way, but again thats just my opinion. Obviously, some really like it given its popularity.
I love a smooth stout, a nice amber, and a good ale, etc. Actually, most beer I enjoy, depending on how, why, and where I am drinking it influences my choice in that instant. But I have never liked IPA, I have never found it good for any situation, but I realize everyone has different tastes.
So all that being said, what is the appeal, what do you find good, enjoyable, refreshing about IPA? Im not trying be argumentative, Im genuinely curious.
