Yuengling is not considered craft beer by a lot of people because it’s made mainly from adjuncts, in their case corn. It’s only recent that the Brewer’s Association changed the definition to include them, but most people in the industry disagree with it. Yuengling is just a cheaply made lager that’s really no better than Budweiser.
But, that term doesn’t have an official definition so they still can claim the title.
- floren 3y ago> Yuengling is just a cheaply made lager that’s really no better than Budweiser. Now, maybe in terms of production methods, but I've consumed plenty of Bud and absolutely gallons of Yuengling, and Yuengling stands apart. It's not fancy, but it's good. College parties in Rochester would usually include Labatt, Molson, Yuengling, and Genesee. Only the Yuengling was worthy as a drinking beer; Labatt and Molson were just for shotgunning & pong, and Genesee was for joking about what it did to your bowels.

- mattmaroon 3y agoEh. A lot of people have very distinct expressed preferences for one mass market lager over another ("I only drink Coors!")and then in blind taste tests completely fail to pick them apart at any better a rate than chance. I'm always skeptical when people tell me one adjunct beer is better than another. I'm not saying you're for sure wrong, certainly some beers are distinguihsable from some other beers, but you might consider having someone do a blind taste test with you some day just for fun. I've made a number of friends angry when they tell me they like one particular vodka and I do a few triangle tests and show them that they can't actually tell one from another.
