Mashed’s taste test ranks Yuengling Traditional Lager as the best classic American beer, citing its balanced amber lager profile, 4.5% ABV, and historical significance as America’s oldest brewery. The review notes its limited availability in 30 states and D.C., contrasting it with lighter, milder competitors like Michelob and Busch.
Yuengling, America's oldest brewery, is run by four sisters who are sixth-generation family members. Despite its age, the Pottsville location can still produce 900 cans of beer per minute. The sisters attribute their success to their proud, patriotic bond and loyal consumers. Yuengling remains America's top craft brewer, selling more beer than any other U.S. brand with over 2.2 billion barrels per year. The brewery recently rolled out limited-edition, 12-ounce cans that read, "Let’s Go USA," while featuring a Stars and Stripes design.
Yuengling Brewery appeared to take a jab at rival beer company Bud Light on Twitter, shortly after Bud Light faced backlash for partnering with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. Yuengling's tweet read, "The Oldest Brewery in America. Independently Owned and Family Operated since 1829 because we make good beer." Meanwhile, Bud Light's parent company, Anheuser-Busch, faced calls for a boycott from conservatives over the partnership. Some celebrities, including Howard Stern and Joe Rogan, defended the collaboration, while Mulvaney said she was an "easy target" for criticism.
