Since I'm both city & country,I understand that country & western are a bit different from personal experience. I've gotten some amuzing responses to remarks about Willie Nelson,etc down home in WV.
Same in Texas. You could have this conversation:
Me: I'd like a coke
Waiter: What kind?
Me: Dr. Pepper

I've never seen or tried Yuengling, only heard about it here a couple times. I would assume "lager", in that situation, meant Samuel Adams Boston Lager. But what do I know.

Wat. That's so weird!
Here if you order lager you would probably get carling, carlsberg (NOT export) or foster's, whichever they carry.
Or in Scotland, Tennent's...
Man this "lager" is getting worst than all the others... but at least it is still kind of about beer.
If anyone that knows a thing about beer asks for a lager and expect Yuengling, that is wrong.
But for those that don't know much about beer - if they ask for a lager and got something other than Yuengling; would they even notice?
But did you get a lager? and would you feel justified to be annoyed if you had got lager B instead of lager A?I understand beer, and when I go to the bar and ask for a Lager, 9 times out of 10, there isn't even a question...
What do this have to do with it?Also, in a noisy bar, you don't even need to hear the word "Lager" to know what they said, anyone can read that.
But what if you were actually comparing between Yuengling and another non-BMC / non-light lager? Something simliar to Yuengling but not actually Yuengling, again under the assumption that you are not a beer "expert"Finally- if you seriously don't think that anyone would be able to tell the difference between the amber color of yuengling with any of the piss-yellow BMC types.. I'd question your knowledge of beer, or at least this one.

DrunkleJon said:Thread is getting unfunny again. Why am I having flashbacks to economics?
That's probably because you can call Yuengling a lager only when it's demand is really high. If the demand drops then you have to switch over to the high demand lager. Vice versa with supply. Now price...don't get me started....
A friend of a friend told me last night that all Surly brews are 12%. I told him he was pretty incorrect on that and he told me it was in a red can, thus having to be furious. Furious is not even 7% which I explained. And he said it mustve been a special release, unless I am missing something, only special releases I know that could be even close to 12% is Darkness and that for sure doesn't come in a four pack or in cans. Needless to say though, he was not giving up on this argument. So I shut em up by having to go online and show him. I wouldn't be that upset if he wasn't saying ALL of them are 12%. Why in the world would they do that? Basically they would just use tge same grainbill and yeast and just add different hops if that was the case.

hunter_la5 said:I like the red ones. Yep, I'm pretty much a connoisseur....
Dark and dry. I usually just get merlot because it is the only style I know I'll probably like.
Keith66 said:I'm no connoisseur either, but my brother is a hoity-toity professional winemaker in Napa Valley, so I get top-notch stuff for free. Yay. Anyway, I'm pretty sure merlot is on the fruity end, not real dry, which is why it's so popular. Cab sauvignon, cab franc, zinfandel (not white zin) are dry. My brother makes really good beer too.
It has the word platinum in it, so you know it has to be good stuff.

Seems dry to me. But I've already confessed my ignorance. I'm comparing it to the sugary sweet stuff my wife drinks...Riesling.
Wow, he wasn't kidding! Thanks for posting that, interesting/disturbing stuff!
