Yuengling Lager is super balanced! It checks all the boxes for me. Simply the best!

[@BeerBrackets]

SO balanced!

[@coko420]

Yuengling, hands down!! Love it!

[@OneMansOdyssey]

This is such a tough one. Definitely not an apples to apples comparison by my standard, but you have never been afraid to do those comparisons, which is what I love. I think I’d have to go Yeungling. I just think that balance is hard to beat.

[@BeerBrackets]

Agreed! It has character and balance that in this market space is very hard to beat.

[@ConcealedCarrier]

There is a reason Heineken sells as well as it does - it's great beer! Yuengling, though, is my absolute favorite! Inexpensive, tastes great, easy to find!

[@remfan170]

Yuengling is the best "beer" in the US. What I mean by that is most Americans see beer as the "lagers" of Budweiser, Miller, PBR, Coors, and I would lump some of the mass produced imports in there too. That really is all we had available for decades. Yuengling is that style done very well. I think its critical for showing people what beer can be. That beer can have flavor, texture, etc. You give someone a Yuengling and their faith in beer just changes. Then, they can branch out to different styles. Excellent show gentlemen! Id love too see Yuengling vs Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold

[@BeerBrackets]

Could not agree more! We always say the same thing about Yuengling - we ranted about this in our review of it. It’s one of the best easily accessible “macro” lager you can get in the U.S. in our opinion. And a great gateway beer for anyone coming from beers like the ones you mentioned and curious to try things with more flavour and character. Thanks for watching!! Cheers 🍻

[@johndayan7126]

Great review! New subscriber. I really like your format and I'm looking forward to seeing more reviews. Fun and informative. I have had a lot of Heinekens and Yuenglings over the years. Both great, but in a head-to-head, it is Yuengling, so much more balanced and flavorful. Cheers! 🍺🍻

[@BeerBrackets]

Thanks so much for the kind words and thanks for watching! Cheers 🍻

[@BermanRecords]

German here, definitly Yuengling! Heineken is nothing for me, Yuengling i didn't had since 20years but i remember it remindet me of Hacker Pschorr Helles, only problem with Yuengling is the watery taste that a Heineken doesn't have.

[@dekateur79]

German here, every time I‘m in the US (East Coast) always Yuengling. This beer is so good and I‘ve met Dick Yuengling personally 😊

[@BeerBrackets]

I feel like there is an amazing beer story there on when you met Dick.

[@dizzykincade7831]

York,Pennsylvania native. Go to a bar, ask for Lager. If it’s not Yuengling, it’s not Lager.

[@SteveN-zb5dk]

Still have never tried Yuengling being here in western canada, but after hearing you guys talk about it for a while I need to get on it one day.

[@BeerBrackets]

Hopefully one day you’ll have a yuenger experience Steve.

[@matthewgabbard6415]

Trust me, it’s nothing special. I’d much rather be able to get Molson Stock Ale here

[@timpetr]

Love yuengling premium and premium light beers. The light can be hard to find, even in Philly area. Very easy drinker, great summer time drink. Coming back around to lager, a little sweet for me.

[@j3558]

I just tried this beer and I absolutely love it...high quality and it's a good value.

[@BeerBrackets]

Right?? Could not agree more. For an extremely accessible beer in that price point, it’s pretty fantastic.

[@j3558]

That's right! Forgot that was happening. Yuengling is the perfect meteor shower beer@@j3558

[@joedobbins870]

Skunky Heineken!

[@leiferikson7052]

I love both of these they are both have very distinct tastes and you cant mistake them for any other beer.

[@BeerBrackets]

That’s such a good point!! You definitely can’t mistake either of these for anything else.

[@erikahuxley]

I don't like skunk, so it has to be Yuengling, I only had it offered by friends but it's very agreeable to drink.

[@BeerBrackets]

Very agreeable indeed! Anytime I’m in the states and am in a situation where I need to choose between some big brands, Yuengling is always a go-to if it’s available.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I side with Heineken, in this matchup.

[@nathanmartinez8920]

Yuengling taste better but doesn't have enough hops or alcohol to give me a buzz even after drinking a 6 pack

[@ExecutiveCounsel]

Heineken wins by default for not being brewed with corn grits, hop extract, and other junk.

[@GJBedrin]

I've never really considered Heineken up there in the list of good beers but maybe because I've always equated it to those god-awful mini kegs people would buy in college because "omg its a keg", only for it to come out as straight foam every time

[@BeerBrackets]

Haha yeah it’s always a challenge getting a good pour out of those mini kegs. You hit a sweet spot about half way through where it pours super well, but there’s a lot of foam bookending that.

[@markhuru]

Ying lager is #1... I recently went to brewery and drank every model... Lager is the only Ying I preferred. I can drink lager till I can drink no more and wake up as if I hadn't drank too many. No other beer does that for me. And buzz? A nice controled not drunken stupper like I'd get if I over indulge. Note I make sure not to drive any time regardless.

[@matthewgabbard6415]

For what its intended purpose is for Heineken wins all day for me. It’s a lawn mower beer, or baseball game. You want crisp, biscuity, refreshing. And dead effing cold. Green monster. Plus Heineken is pure malt

[@Blackbeard70]

Come on!! Do a real test.. Put The Yuengling Lager down and Try the Lord Chesterfield Ale from Yuengling in a green bottle..I live in Pottsville.. Been drinking Yueng since mid 80s ..

[@BeerBrackets]

🤣🤣 You know what.. we just went to the Yuengling taphaus in Tampa a few weeks ago and I got to try the Chesterfield ale for the first time. It was great! My favorite was their Bock though, which for now is kinda hard to find unfortunately.

[@Blackbeard70]

@@BeerBrackets Yuengling has about 7 or 8 different beer depending on times of the year..Bock is out now I had one 2 weeks ago and it tasted like more..lol but I had to drive....Idk if you ever had the Porter or Black & Tan ..The Original Brewery in Pottsville has tours and gift shop .. Good beer like Rollin Rock once was until Budweiser bought them out...The Original Rollin Rock in Latrobe,Pa was awesome back in the day

[@Blackbeard70]

@@BeerBrackets The Yuengling Brewers years ago here in Schuylkill County you would buy a case of 24 Yuengling 16 oz Returnable bottles for $11 drink the beer take the empty case back to the beer distributor and get a $1.50 in return or $1.50 off your next case..Back in the 80s a case of 12 quarts $7.50..Bush parties!! Good times..

[@BeerBrackets]

@@Blackbeard70 Sounds like great times!

[@bluu_ice6554]

In 2023 both are trash to me but back in 2005 I would vote yuengling. In 1998 its Heineken all day

[@nickkonstantin8580]

Common man, I'm not the biggest Yuengling fan because I like more hops in my beer but it's definitely not trash. When it comes to easily accessible beers in a lot of places, you can do a lot worse and it's better than any anheiser Busch product.

[@kaiso4939]

I was in Maryland and taste Yingling (Jüngling in German) and it was the best beer I taste in US! ..in and Heineke is ony a mainsteam beer!

I can't find Yuengling in Wisconsin 😢

[@BeerBrackets]

🥲

[@remfan170]

Yuengling is from Pottsville, Pennsylvania, hard to find west of the Ohio River. Keep an eye out though, they are expanding further all the time. Last year they got to KA, MO, and OK.

[@00MSG]

Yuengling is about 1000 times better than Heineken, it's one of the best beers in my opinion.

[@BeerBrackets]

It’s so good! Especially on tap

[@thebigleone1066]

Yuengling wins. Heineken is overrated garbage. Yuengling vs Guinness would be tough.

[@AndrewRoberts1997]

Yuengling black and tan really gives Guinness a run for its money

Apples vs oranges

[@turdferguson2863]

Now that billy boy gates bought into hiene, I won't touch it.

[@AnunnakiThe1]

Yuengling .

[@ResourceAdvisor-ue2pj]

I used to be a hardcore Heineken drinker. Ever since being introduced to IPA, Heineken tastes like trash Yuengling has always been smooth but even that has been upstaged by the IPA takeover

[@coko420]

IPAs taste like pine cones. Literally, every single one…but they definitely get you drunk, so there’s that. When I worked at Yellowstone, I loved this beer that was brewed by Yellowstone brewery I think, called Grizzly Wolf. It’s the only beer that I’ve personally thought was as good as Yuengling.

[@coko420]

Sorry, it’s actually Grizzly Wulff by Yellowstone brewing company.

[@nickkonstantin8580]

Definitely Heineken for me. Have to disagree boys. I only had yuengling once on vacation but I don't think it stands up to Heiney very well.

[@chefant213ify]

Yuengling all day
