Stick with a real beer like Yuengling Lager or Black & Tan.

Bud-wizzer too tiring to drink, too many trips to drain the dragon.

American microbrews cannot be beat. Price/value? Nothing else comes close, especially if you scramble.

"Stick with a real beer like Yuengling Lager or Black & Tan."

Amen! I've been drinking Yuengling almost exclusively for about 4 years now. It's America's oldest brewery, located in Pottsville, PA.

Yeungling Brewery

Best beer around, if you ask me. The only other beer I drink is Bass.

I'm too lazy to try out others. You can be the taste tester and let me know what to switch to. LOL

People shouldn't drink swill anyway. Bud is to beer as mud is to pie.

I can get Hamm's for about $9.00 a case in PA, and its drinkable. Get Yuengling or Rolling Rock for those special occasions.

Try Saranac....The trail mix(6 beers, 4 varieties) is good, the Belgian white ale better.
(I will miss the extra alcohol in the Bud Ice though....bummer)

HAMMS, now that's my kind of beer. I usually drink that. If I want to really impress my girl I get some coors light.

I quit drinking bud products a few years ago when I learned they were big on gun control and gay rights. I dropped them like a used rubber and haven't looked back.

Stick with a real beer like Schneider's Weisse or Maisel's Weisse. Yingyang has that Central PA aftertaste about it.
