Being from Eastern PA I grew up on Yuengling products. The other day I was at a bar and got a Yuengling Lager...... couldn't believe how average it seemed to be. I'm not saying it was bad, just nowhere near as as good as i used to think it was.
 
I've noticed the same thing about Yuengling. I still stand by it as my old faithful, and it still tastes great on a hot summer day, but it doesn't taste as good as I remember it. It also could be that I got a little burnt out on it when I was going through leaner times and it costs the same as BMC.
 
I lived in China for five years, and the standard beers there were absolute piss. Large proportion of rice in the grist, about 3% ABV and I suspect literally watered down. Back then Budweiser was a step up in flavor. I don't think bud is bad, just lacking. Never forget it could be MUCH worse. IMO however it's pretty easy to beat even with a simple extract recipe using some fresh ingredients, which is great because in Australia standard beer starts at about forty bucks a case cos of tax.
 
I won't have more than two Yuenlings. They give me terrible hangovers. As for Coors Light, when I was in college my friends jokingly called it their "driving beer." I prefer Banquet over Coors Light.

My wife drinks Miller Lite. My homebrewing buddy drinks Genesee as his go to beer when his kegs are low. When I'm not drinking craft beer, I'll drink Pabst.
 
Well, in Texas a six pack of Miller high life is anywhere from $7-$8. A six pack of Sam Adams, Avery, Boulevard, Sierra Nevada is $8.99. Now your still paying $10-$12 for the super duper good 4 packs or bombers, but at that price point i'm amazed people don't reach for the higher quality stuff more often. Not something that keeps me up at night, but it is worth noting. I know some states where the BMC is super cheap and that makes a little more sense.
 
How often are you propositioned by cases of beer?

lol, when beer starts talking to you, it is time to re-evaluate things.


How often is a free case of beer shoved at you? talking or otherwise?

I don't have the problem of people flinging cases of miller and PBR at me.
