You can decide this move with two answers: Who are their customers, and what happened last year with Bud Light.
Just so y'all are aware they moved to Yuengling beer as the choice of racists and bigoted people. So please don't buy it unless you really really don't give a fuck about CEOs mocking boycotts.
Dang, now we can't make jokes about Anakin killing all the Yuenglings
Phew. I was afraid they'd move to Sam Adams or something since they fetishize the Founders so much, and I'd have to give up something I actually like.
I used to like Yurngling before 2016 or whenever when their politics came out :(
Twas a decently cheap beer you could get on tap, but no longer for me
Seriously? Yuengling, is that Chinese beer?
Lmao, people asking that gets me every time. Wild name that I don't know why they named it that, but it's actually America's oldest brewery, it's on the east coast.
It's named after the founder, who was a German immigrant named Jungling.
Immigrant names were often spelled how they sound by barely literate immigration agents.
So Jungling is pronounced Yewng-ling and became Yuengling.
The current CEO (Dick Yuengling Jr) is a nepo baby piece of shit Trump lover.
Correct. He's a giant piece of shit and his sales have only gone up since Trump was elected.
And for those wondering, it's just a very slightly better version of Bud and only then if it's really fresh. After two weeks on the shelf they're equally shitty.
I was in Texas for my first time ever and had my first ever Yeungling (it isn't available where I live). I didn't know it was now the choice for the bigots. But I do know: it's really not a great beer.
Neither is Bud (/Light), but at least that doesn't taste like a malty homebrew.
