The Official INGO Beer Snob Thread

[ghuns]

My favorite 3 floyds beer though by far is Robert the Bruce. Love it and been recently seeing it in the stores.

That's some good stuff.

Today is the day...

And with lawn mowing season about to begin, it's just in time for me.

I'm stopping by the liquor store on the way home this afternoon to pick up some Indiana yuengling!

Bought a sixer today. Never tried it but I'm tired of hearing all the buzz and not having a taste to compare against.

I've never had a skunky yuengling! I don't drink it much from the green bottle, though, usually in cans or on tap. Green bottles will do that if they get too much light.

Reminds me of the last swig left in a pitcher. I've got 5 x 16 Oz cans for sale in mishawaka. $2, pm me.

I don't like it in bottles. For anyone who's never had it, don't get your hopes up. It's a cheap beer. Kinda reminds me of Corona.

Cheap beer + mid price = no thanks

Whenever I bought it in Ohio, it was cheaper than Coors and Miller Lite.

THIS.

Its ~$2/12 cheaper over there. I bought mine today expecting the same basic price point as MGD. FAIL!

I can get an 18 of MGD (my normal daily brew) for almost the same cost as a 12 of Indiana Yeungling. My penny pinching self was disappointed. (I was buying 12s for $10 and change a month ago in OH, which is on par for MGD 12s)

I'll probably continue to buy MGD, with the occasional Yeungling when I am in the mood on a whim. And when I happen to be in OH on business I'll toss a couple cases in the trunk as an investment to save a few bucks. (Boss pays the way there and back so there is actually a savings for me)

Spotted minutes ago in downtown South Bend...

Funny thing, I drove RIGHT by there last week. (on business)

FWiW, the wife got a giftcard for Boombozz up in Carmel. I must say their pizza is pretty good (not a huge fan of pizza out here, having grown up in pizza & wing heaven western NY). The beer selection is not vast, but they have some good brews. They also offer a 'any four brews on tap sampler'. Many local brews available. I'd recommend it if you're in the area.

So I had this amazing Coors Light last night...sorry. Just sticking with the current Yuengling trend. Beer snobbery - I'm not sure it means what you think it means...

Oh, I know what it means to be a beer snob! One glance at my untappd app proves it! My thing with yuengling is, I actually enjoy it. I love the big high gravity beers, the IPAs, I love going to craft breweries and trying as many different beers as I can, but in the evenings, when I get home from work and just want to sit and unwind for a while, I prefer something lighter, and yuengling has been my go to beer for that purpose for many years.

 

[PapaScout]

I get it. It's a good quality, easy drinking beer. I like it, too.

I'll stick to Coors Banquet. Not overly hyped or overly classy.

I've had regular Coors and Coors lite, is the banquet different?

More flavor. I consider it a gold standard for what I look for in a American Lager when judging.
