when it was actually cheap and before Dick became an unhinged lunatic about unions, it was fine. now, if im gonna drink cheap stuff, ill take some Lion's Head from Wilkes-Barre or Miller Lite when im trying to be thrifty.

but it's tough turning down some New Trail, incredible stuff coming out of there. or one of the many amazing breweries we have in PA.

Absolutely. Fuck Yuengling. Fuck Union busters. Fuck anyone who celebrates them.

Haven’t bought one since Dick and company invited Uday and Qusay for a tour in early 2016. Fuck them.

Even if they had normal people running it, Yuengling is shockingly bad beer.

We used to buy it just because of the fact that it had puzzles under the bottle caps and provided some extra entertainment and i could actually afford it, $13 a case aint bad and it was definitely bearable for that cheap

heck yeah... it wasn't that long ago when I was at King's (couple years ago, pre Rona obviously) but I think we bought a case for $8, maybe $9? a kegger for dirt cheap...

even when i grabbed my most recent case it was only $13... 24 16oz cans, apparently they don't do 12oz cans anymore bc they can Monster on their lines when it's slow so they agreed to transition the lines to 16oz cans permanently. im not complaining.

I graduated from WCU in 2016, think it was around $12 to $14 for a 24 of bottles so around the same

I agree that they seem to be a good company. Hell, they're just down the road from me really. But I'm pretty sure they just suck up water from the Susquehanna, carbonate it, bottle it, and call it beer. It's vile.
