Newsweek: Top 10 Beers Support LGBTQIA+ But they Left One Out
Newsweek reports the ten best-selling beers in America last year were Bud Light, Coors Light, Budweiser, Miller Lite, Corona Extra, Michelob Ultra, Modelo Especial, Natural Light, Busch Light, and Busch, forgetting one.
Flite is way, wayyyyy better than merely “not bad” - Flite is FANTASTIC. I used to drink Mich Ultra, but dumped AB last week. A buddy suggested Yuengling Flite was similar in taste, and I think it’s actually superior. It’s also incredibly resistant to “souring” as it gets warm before you finish it. It is seriously seriously good light beer.
How anybody can drink any of that watered-down swill is beyond me. I remember drinking American beers in the early '60s when I was just starting out, but somebody turned me on to Mexican and then German beers and I said "Oh, I get it."
My Father in Law used to tell his kids when they were going somewhere, "let's all go for Falstaff". None of the kids ever really knew what the saying meant and I had never heard of it either. I am late Gen X. I didn't even know how to spell it but I got close enough & learned that it was a beer commercial. Shocked my wife & her siblings because around them he never drank beer.
I have a similar story. I took a job in New Jersey during a period of temporary insanity back in the early 2000s. A few weeks after I moved there, I went to the nearest bar on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a beer. The bartender asked me what I wanted and I said, “Whatever you’ve got on tap.” It turned out to be Yuengling, and I’ve been a Yuengling drinker ever since.
Yuengling is a great beer. We have it every time we travel east of the Mississippi (hell).
ReplyDeleteI only drink Yuengling, best beer made, period.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the other stuff just doesn’t cut it.
DeleteThey forgot to mention that Yuengling also has a newer beer called Flite. An ultra light with less than 3 grams of carbs. Not bad.

DeleteBeen a huge fan since they started a brewery in Tampa ~2002.

ReplyDeleteI've moved onto Rainier.
ReplyDeleteAnybody remember Falstaff? Burgie? Brew 102? Billy Beer? Meisterbrau?
ReplyDeleteHow about Stroh’s?
DeleteWhen you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer. Hell, when all you got is Schlitz you're out of beer.

DeleteHere in S.E. Pennsylvania, you just order a Lager if you want a Yuengling.
ReplyDeleteIt's not my favorite beer by a long-shot, but I still drink quite a bit of it on tap. The bottles taste like they used pond water...

DeleteYuengling has been my daily beer for years. The wife was a Busch drinker, now we are searching for a replacement. And not Miller - Coors either.
ReplyDeleteBeen drinking Busch for many years. Just this week bought my first case of of Yuengling. It is now my goto beer from here on out.
DeleteIt's hard to boycott a "beer" that never was worth drinking in the first place. Yuengling doesn't do much for me either.
ReplyDelete"My Girlfriend Has a Wiener" by Adam Sandler......
ReplyDeleteYuengling is a good German style lager beer and always keep it in the downstairs fridge….

If you want to drink beer, brew your own. You know what's in it, how good or bad the quality control is, and what the political bent of the brewer is.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
Delete"Corona and Modelo Especial are owned by Constellation Brands" says the article. WRONG!
ReplyDeleteCorona is a brand of beer produced by Mexican brewery CervecerÃa Modelo and owned by Belgian company AB InBev.
Which owns Budweiser and a shit ton more. The don't buy list should include ALL AB INBEV.
DeleteNever cared for Budweiser products. Guinness Extra Stout is my go to ale.
ReplyDeleteSpent time at Ramstein AFB, Germany, early 80s. Discovered micro brews. Have not willingly had a factory beer since.
