So for friends of mine who I am trying to introduce beers to other and Bud/Coors/Miller, Fat Tire would be a fairly easy drinking beer to try on them? Easier than Yeungling?

 

Better start with Yeungling Light

I'd say that I prefer Fat Tire over Yuengling pretty much always. Like AA said, it's not that I don't love Yuengling...it's that I love Fat Tire more.

 

As for which of those to to use for introducing regular domestic drinkers to new beers, I think I would suggest trying Yuengling simply because I think it has a less complex taste, and that would likely make it appeal to a wider palette.

Yea Yuengling would be a great start.I wouldn't start with a IPA,for my taste buds they are just way to hoppy.I would introduce some good Belgian brews like Duvel,Grimbergen blonde and Fat Tire if you can find it.The Duvel and Grimbergen are expensive because they are imports,but they are flat out great.

I've said it previously but I don't get the fascination with Yuengling. Maybe it's because I've been drinking it for 25 years when I go to Pittsburgh but it's nothing special to me.

I like it. But as I've said on here before the fascination strictly deals with the scarcity...

I agree,and for me it beats Budweiser and Bud Lite like a drum...

I was a huge fan of Yuengling, and still am, but had Fat Tire a few months back, and it's my new favorite. I cross the river to Metropolis, IL for it.

I can get the fascination to Yuengling. Its a beer that is of slightly better quality than the BMC (Bud, Miller, Coors) beers and it isn't available just anywhere. And that is where this ends to me. Yes, Yuengling is a decent beer, but like GT said its a question of quantity or quality. More and more I find myself choosing quality over quantity.

 

Give me:

IPAs - Bell's Two Hearted, Stone's DB IPA or Green Flash's West Coast IPA.

Wheats - Bell's Oberon, Rogue's Dead Guy Ale, Goose Island has many to name too

Nut Brown - Newcastle, Bell's Best Nut Brown

Stouts - Founder's Breakfast Stout (just going to name one, but could name many)

Bourbon Barrel Ales - All

 

These are not all, but these are some that I would take over Yuengling all day, everyday.

 

Also, does anyone out there like a good barleywine. If so, who brews it?

I've only had two Barleywines so I'm no expert but I like Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot.

My buddy sells coatings to breweries for their huge Vats and travels to Colorado a couple times a year and he actually works with the company that brews Fat Tire. He told me about this beer a couple years ago but since its not sold around here I forgot about it.
