Yuengling is a solid brew, especially if you’re not a hop head. If I’m working outside in hotter weather, Yuengling flight is my go to. It’s their version of mich ultra but still tastes like yuengling. Their regular and light brews are good too. They also make a seasonal Hershey brew that is an excellent dessert beer. It has a nice chocolatey finish.
They have some interesting products like Black & Tan and some others things too. Ownership is big time Trumpsters, but I still drink it when I’m out East.
Anything by Toppling Goliath (Iowa) is fantastic. Not cheap, but I have never seen a beer receive a 100 on Beer Advocate. Toppling Goliath’s Pseudo Sue is the first I’ve ever come across.

I was in Minnesota back about 08' and went to a decent sized lake side event, food, band, yadda yadda. The sponsored beer was Stroh's. It had mostly, as you say, disappeared and they brought it back as a rebranded "Upscale" beer. What used to be a $1.99 per 6 pack beer, was at that time a $9/ 6 uppity beer. I just had to laugh, marketing is awesome !
Surprised to see Strohs on the list. That was my go-to back in the day. I thought it had gone belly up.
Ice cold Coors Light after a really hot day of yard work...
Craft beer (multiple) if I want a Real beer...
That is surprising. My grandfather had a bunch of old stroh's pony bottles in his garage I found when he died

Okay, that rings bells.
I think something similar happened with PBR. Thinking it was more a viral hipster thing than a marketing ploy.
Any "bad beer" list that doesn't include Stella and Heineken is incomplete.
Yuengling is acceptable if the bar/restaurant doesn't have more than a handful of these cheap, lousy brands. IPAs, sours and fruity beers need to follow Tang down the Memory Hole.
I remember when you couldn't get Coors in Indiana and my wife and I would go visit her folks in CO and there would always be someone ask us to bring back some Coors for them.
I'm waiting for somebody to do a hipster campaign to bring back Hudepohl Gold. The first one went down rough, but after that it was good enough for volume consumption. And the rebus puzzles under the bottlecap could keep you entertained for hours. I think it was $4.99 a case at Big Red, so it felt like you were making money drinking it if you recycled the bottles. 🤣
If memory serves...
Coors didn't use to pasteurize their beer, requiring it to be shipped cold and sold quick. That limited its distribution footprint. It was the scarcity that drove people to want it the way they did. It actually wasn't that good to begin with, and skunked easily.
Wasn't that the house beer at Crosley? I can hear the barkers "Ice co Hudeypo!"
Yuengling is the oldest brewery in the US (and family-owned). The second oldest is August Schell Brewing Company out of New Ulm, MN. When we lived in Mankato, they were 20 minutes away, so Mrs O and I made the trip for the tour a few times, and I drank their beer a LOT because my local beer store carried all their stuff. They focus on German styles and are world-class, IMHO.
Taste is a very personal thing, so which ones are "good" will vary greatly from person to person. Having said that, most of those are "light" beers, so they don't have very strong flavor profiles. Bud, Yuengling Traditional Lager, and Stroh's will probably have the most flavor, so they'd be my choice.
I had to chuckle at that.... I'm sure that is probably true to beer drinkers but to me all beer taste bad.

Key West.....Yuengling on draft everywhere..
Peel and eat shrimp, grilled catch of the day, Real Key Lime Pie...

Yuengling is crap. I have no idea why some people in Indiana thinks it's some special beer. It's basically a Budweiser.
I too enjoy a good slug of water after grinding out some yard work.
Also, I am personally offended that Miller High Life, the literal champagne of beers, is not at the top of this list. What have we become?
I load up on the H2O prior to and during a long day in the yard and then celebrate (occasionally) with a couple of ice cold ones at the finish (it's all about replenishing the potassium ya know 😉)...
No but we were contending bidder on your wife. Is that where you met?
Anybody remember the 80’s Stroh’s commercials with “Alex” the dog?I was in Minnesota back about 08' and went to a decent sized lake side event, food, band, yadda yadda.

You know he has issues? The incel thing is hard on him. I doubt there’s many hillbillies with an incel problem. He’s jealous.
I disagree. Yuengling Traditional Lager is actually not a bad beer. It's almost an amber (actually, they consider it a Vienna Lager) and contains considerable roasted caramel malt. It's nothing like a Budweiser. If I was in the mood for a straight up American Lager I'd get this one every time. And that's from someone who would never order a Miller/Bud/Coors on my own.
No Busch Light?? Bullsh!t!
