I wouldn't drink that crap if they paid me
It’s like drinking carbonated syrup, only it tastes like tree bark and crushed up asprin. Even if you could pallet the first one, how do you drink the next one? It’s more filling than a thanksgiving dinner!
I’ll drink anything, but that and Rolling Rock. Bleh.

What do you prefer?
Not trying to be a dick, actually asking.
Normally I would say millzners you're teh crazies
However, during the PSU-Temple game, I went to a bar with my normal crew. Yuengling pitchers (PITCHERS!) we’re like 2 bucks. Natch, we each ordered one with every intention of renewing said order until we were politely asked to leave. Unfortunately, the first pitcher was completely skunked, and thus turned me off Yuengling, similar to a taste aversion to Chinese food did in 6th grade. I’ve since returned to Chinese, but Yuengling is on hiatus for me.

I'm not sure if something changed or it was the bar I was at
but for a while, any time I went to this one bar (it was the Primanti’s in monroeville to be exact) and ordered a Yueng from the tap, it tasted terrible. I went other places and got Yuengling at it wasn’t bad, but still didn’t taste nearly as good as from the bottle. Not sure if it was a taste aversion thing like you said, or something they changed in the brew or what, but that nearly ruined it for me.
I definitely think some places have skunky kegs on occasion
not sure if it is because they don’t sell it fast enough, or have a leak in their setup or something, but on tap it is often hit or miss (and I definitely notice some places have skunkier beer more frequently than others, which leads me to believe something messed up in their system).

I went there almost every friday with my friend
and it was like that almost every time, so it was probably something with the setup. They were having a lot of issues with foam too, so I bet there was a leak in one of the lines or something.
skunky tap beer is usually from poor cleaning or no cleaning of the tap lines
If the person who cleans the lines isn’t thorough, there will be residue left in the lines. I used to go to a bar that you didn’t drink any of the tap beer on Tuesdays because the cleaning guy, who by the way has to be certified by the PLCB, did a crappy job. On Fridays, the tap beer was fine. They used to have to be cleaned once every two weeks. Leaks in the tap system, jugger said can cause skunky tap beer too. Unless there is a huge problem with the kegs being rolled around or shaken somehow, its pretty hard to skunk keg beer. If its that old its skunky, they shouldn’t be selling it.
Yeah, back in my day
Places like the Brewery in State College were renowned for the terrible job they did cleaning the lines, and even on $1 pitcher nights it was a hard bargain because often the beer tasted bad and gave you a wicked hangover.

At the Brewery?
Cherry Soda was your best option. Well your best option was to go someplace else, but if you were there, Cherry Soda was the way to go

There is no margain for error on Yuengling.
If the taps are dirty, if it’s the bottom of the keg, if it’s warm, just about anything can screw it up. Even if it’s good, it still gives me a headace almost instantly anyway.

I never have problems with headaches
MGD on the otherhand leaves me with the worst possible hangovers of any beer. I literally can have just one all night and wake up the next day feeling terrible. Cold filtered my ass.
you want to talk about headaches
old milwaulkee. ugh. then again, thats what you drank when youre a broke freshman, cheap beer was good beer

Ironically
my ex-gf thought Yuengling was a Chinese beer, I should have ended it then.
Had some waiter who told us it was Chinese when we ordered it
So we couldn’t get the domestic price, it was an “import.”
lol I hope he was kidding
Otherwise I’d have went ballistic. It says right on the damn label brewed in Pottsville, PA

He wasn't
We had to walk with him up to the bar and point out the label on the tap. And then got to hear “well the special is only for normal domestics.”
Maybe they thought you ordered Yuengring
I hear that stuff is expensive. It’s a very erite beer.

At Epcot they sell beers from the respective countries them come from.
In China, they sell Tsingtao and Yuengling. No other countries have Yuenling.
I disagree with your feelings regarding yuengling
I would agree that rolling rock is not very good. Having clear bottle means that most rolling rock is skunked.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
I feel that way about the Lager.
Just had too much of it over the past howevermany years. Their other beers, especially the porter, are usually quite good.

My favorite beer is rum and diet pepsi.
It’s also my favorite wine, anti-depressant, sleep aid, creative driving force. In many ways, it’s my muse.

When I was in high school...
a bunch of us were drinking, and the one kid was being loud and unruly. We tried to force feed him Tylenol PM to knock him out. Probably not the smartest thing my friends and I ever did…

in college we dared a kid to drink a bottle of nyquil for $10
about a week later we saw where kids had died from doing that. as you said..not exactly the smartest thing we ever did. whoops

what kind of rum?
I am preferential towards the spiced for my rum & cola drinks. Sailor Jerry is a close, personal friend of mine.

Had a roommate who would down a handle of rum by himself over a given weekend. When he was drunk, he’d ask my other roommate to read the back of the handle in a pirate voice and giggle the entire time.

definitely
cheaper, stronger (92 proof vs regular Morgan 75 proof…though the Captain does have a 100 proof version that I’ve never tried), and better tasting than Captain Morgan. A winning combination if I’ve ever heard of one.

see if you can locate some of this, I have recommended it here before
they make white and several varieties of gold and dark rum.
they are doing at least one thing right in Nicarauga
Whatever
looks good. My sister in Texas had something that resembled that.
I haven’t drank rum in years. Stick to Jameson when drinking liquor unless the margarita blender happens to be buzzing
i cant believe nobody has mentioned admiral nelson

I actually like the Black and Tan a lot and the porter too, just the regular lager is just gross to me. I just drank way too much of it in my teens to the point where I just can’t stand it.
But mostly I just like getting a rise out of you people.

Well now they got a brewery in Memphis but why cant they serve Premium in all the bars in the entire state of PA
Premium?
or is there a Yuengling Premium?

Yes
There are a ton of yuenglings
Lager, Black & Tan, Premium , etc. The tour is fantastic

Really?
I never heard of the Premium, the others I have though.

Premium is, in my opinion, by far their worst
Got a keg of it once, figuring it HAD to be better than regular Lager. Practically had to pay people to drink it.

I like the Light Premium.
Only 12$ a case and better than any of that pisswater natty, beast, miller, or coors or bud lite products.
Black Shoes. Basic Blues. No Name. All Game.
Yuengling is a good beer compared to the comparably priced beer competition.

hey Cairo,
enjoyed my Oklahoma Joes last week in KC. Thanks for the link to that KC board and the food links. Drank the local Boulevard beers all week. Very tasty for the price. I would stop in KC just to eat at Okie Joes again. Ribs were fabulous and the brisquet, which two of us split a pound and added two sides and bread to go for a $25 food tab, was unworldly.
Awesome. Glad you had some good brews and beer.
Yes, having an affordable local beer that tastes good is a big plus.
Now I’m hungry for Oklahoma Joes.
@jschnauzer
Bloggin' at http://www.joepasdoghouse.com
ate there Monday when we flew in. Had the half slab with red beans and rice, couple of Boulevard Pale Ales. Just incredible. We don’t have decent rib places here and the dry rub on the ribs is incredible. Used a tad of the spicy sauce to dip in. Then on Thursday night we just stopped after our class and got the brisquet, spicy slaw and bbq beans to go and ate it in the hotel lobby while watching baseball on the big screen tv. Stopped and got a six pack of the pale ale and my coworker got a six of the wheat. excellent dinner. I will someday stop in KC just to go to Oklahoma Joes. Best gas station I have ever been to.
rec'd for honesty
Not the best beer by a long shot, but in the price range it blows away the competition.

Lionshead
When we were drinking it, 24 bottles cost $9.99. It was much better than YL. I bet it’s still cheaper and still better tasting, just my humble opinion…

Boom
I’m pretty sure my friends and I bankrolled Lionshead for their first few years of existance on our own. That was our beer of choice and anytime anyone came to drink at our house, they were introduced to it. I mean, cheap, good tasting beer with riddles on the cap? Who can resist?
lionshead
had to be COLD before you could drink it. made the mistake of having a warm one at a party…it was pretty late in the night and i STILL remember how awful it was

the same could be said of any cheap domestic beer
There’s a reason Americans are obsessed with ice cold beer and it has nothing to do with being refreshing. The warmer a beer is the better you can taste it, and you sure as hell don’t want to really taste most cheap beers. You just want to get them in your belly.
That’s why the German’s serve beer that’s a little cooler than room temperature — so you can actually taste the beer.

Ortleibs was the worse half keg of beer EVER.
had it at our place in Briarwood after the Pitt game in 1980. It still was empty, along with a couple halves of Yeungling, the next morning.
I lived in Briarwood, too. 82-83. We had PBR as it was the cheapest keg. We went through 26 for the Briarwood Bash.

Repped
Most really good beers actually taste better as they warm up a bit. Especially dark, heavy and/or hoppy ones for my taste.
Same for wine actually. I can’t say I blame folks for drinking a cheap White Zin or Chardonnay from the fridge. It ain’t good stuff, and if it warms up you’ll find it’s like flat Budweiser mixed with some Smirnoff Ice garbage. But if you get half decent wine, it likes to be around 50 to 65 degrees.
OH no
