Please!!!

It's horrible stuff. Maybe if you are 16 years old and just trying beer....

Czech Budveiser Budvar, or Urquell for bottled lager.
British real ales for bitter/stout/pale/mild etc.

Easy

Rolling Rock is a nice beer. I almost never buy it but if it's around, I'll drink it.

Yuengling is PA's finest

And, Rolling Rock was bought out by Anheuser-Busch, so I'm not even sure it's produced in Latrobe anymore. I knew a few people from Latrobe (it's 40 minutes from Pittsburgh) and they were bummed to hear the news.

That said, I never liked Rolling Rock

RR is cool when you first try to get away from the "watery" domestic beers. But once you have a Sierra Nevada Pale, Red Hook ESB, Sam Adams Light or Summer Ale, Yuengling, it's hard to go back to RR.

The neighborhood bar used to sell it for a buck every day of the week. I drank it when i was poor. Many years later, i'm still poor, but i won't touch it anymore. It just doesn't taste good to me.

I wish I could, the next time I get Yuengling is when I go home for Thanksgiving. The Shiner Bock here in Houston has become my go-to beer though, I enjoy it.

ahh, and i think Yuengling is way overrated. i like Dos Equis dark when im looking for strong flavor.

AH yes! Sierra Nevada Pale Ale...the beer of many flavors. Yummy. I Also like Yuengling, I bought a 12 pack last week for $9 !

i found Sierra Nevada Pale on tap in Newton MA, two glasses and i was feeling pretty nice, its a strong beer. i also like Stella Artois on tap but i really dont like its taste in the bottle for some reason.

I can actually get both Yuengling AND Shiner Bock here in MD (and often do!)

 

[ls20]

its not a good beer , by most "sophisticated" drinker's view , but if you like it , why be concerned about what other people think about what YOU consume?

im sure many beers i enjoy most people find unpalatable , and i find many people's favorite beers appalling (whole thread example) , but they all go down only one person's belly at a time .... so whatever floats your keg

Both also horribly overrated... even if Czech Budveiser is clearly better than American Budweiser, it isn't a great beer! Urquell is nice, but far too expensive. I can get Warsteiner for less here.

I don't think I've had a better beer than Hacker-Pschorr. Never seen it in the USA, though.

Rolling Rock is a cheap beer that lacks taste... which can be good if it's been in the fridge and you don't want a mouthful of heavy flavor. And those of us who don't have unlimited funds (or get paid in pounds) sometimes need to buy cheaper beers. And since this might be a fun game, here's what my roommate and I have in our fridges right now:

Otter Creek Oktoberfest
Magic Hat Circus Boy (Hefeweizen)
Sam Adams mix pack (what's left, anyway)
Long Trail mix pack (same)
Harpoon mix pack
Warsteiner
1 500ml Paulaner Oktoberfest (mmm...)

...and the cheapies:
Yuengling
Schlitz
PBR
Bud Light

Tried it for the first time back in 11/01 when I was up in Big Indian NY to watch the Leonid Meteor Shower. An enjoyable beer, it kept me from noticing how wet and cold the grass was during the pre-dawn hours. Shoulda gone back to my room for a blanket but I was too drunk........
