Yuengling Porter - Delish!!

I don't care for any yuengling, sierra Nevada makes a delectable porter ,imho...

 

aside from its lager, yuengling brews some excellent beers. I usually pick up a variety pack that starts making its way to distributors near my Parents house in PA during the holiday season. They make a black and tan and an ale, both of which are superb.

 

Toured the brewery a couple years back, that is single-handedly one of the best brewery tours to go on...and that black and tan is the sh!t

i had a couple Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale's last night...good stuff...but i usually go with:

Dogfish Head 90 & 60
Evolution #6
or some Victory Dirt Wolf

 

Yuengling is decent, for macro beer. I would rather drink their beer than anything from Bud/Miller/Coors. There is a world of great porters out there. Try as many as you can. You may find more you like.

 

Thanks for the recommendation, I always keep a few bottles of yuengling in the fridge

 

Drinking a few now, one of the best for sure

 

Make the trek to Rehoboth and hit the original brewpub. It is worth the experience, and they tend to have a lot of cool stuff on draft.

 

Highland's Cold Mountain Winter Ale is worth a shot.

Just discovered my new favorite IPA: Green Man from Asheville. Happy hunting.

 

My favorite porter, I'm not much of a beer drinker(or drinker at all really), but I love this stuff....

 

If I'm drinking dark beer than I'm going hard. Russian Imperial stouts or gtfo.

Yuengling? Tolerable AT BEST.

In my opinion, they have terrible quality control. Sometimes it's decent, sometimes it's got that sharp skunky stank, right off the bat. Granted, this can be attributed to temperatures and taps at distributors and bars, at times. But not all the time.

In the pantheon of supermarket brews, based on the TPD scale (taste-per-dollar spent), Yuengling sits above Narragansett and Strohs, but below Bud. I want to say that Yuengling is on par with Busch, but Busch tastes better.

The horrors of Annheuser-Inbev may make Yuengling an appealing moral choice, but impart flavor they do not.

 

Skunk flavor is a result of light exposure. Some of the chemicals from the hops react and throw off undesirable flavors. I would question the store if you get any skunked beer. I have never had skunked yuengling, but I only ever drink it on draft when there are no craft options.

 

Mmm porter. My favorite is Anchor, but on a budget the Yeungling version's not bad at all (tho i also have a soft spot for decent cheap beer). Stone Smoked Porter and Founders are good. Sammy Smith's and St. Peter's are classics worth trying. Never had the Sierra Nevada but now i want to go find it.

 

Pawtucket Patriot is pretty good.

 

if you buy it hot chicks will have sex in your backyard.

 

Sierra Nevada's a good company to support...while all the major beer companies lobbied against cannabis legalization(in California I believe), Sierra Nevada remained neutral.
