Exactly. For people who are not "connoisseurs" of beer (I am not), Newcastle is great. Once you have had better beer though, it puts things into perspective. I enjoy drinking both Yuengling and Newcastle myself but at the same time I know there are much better beers out there.

Ick, I don't like the Yuengling. Newcastle is in a different league, an all around great beer. :beer:

You are insane. Newcastle is hardly in a different league.

Newcastle Rating.

Yuengling.

Get your head on straight, pal. :p

Yuengling is an Amber lager & Newcastle is a Brown ale... they are brewed with different yeast & using a different process ... aside from the fact that both are indeed beer & are a similar color, they are very different & really shouldn't be directly compared beyond saying you like one more then the other.

I personally tend to like ale's more then lagers because they have stronger flavor, while lager is (intentionaly) a cleaner & drier tasting beer with less aftertaste.

I like Newcastle too.. I should buy it more often.

I am stuck on Wellington lately.. A local brewery from Guelph, ON.. But man do they have some good brews.

I dont like Yuenglin, it tastes like Killians red and Miller lite blended together. I like both Killians red and Miller lite, but not when a beer tastes like both put together.

so i'm flipping thru the ads (SoCal) :
$10.99 for case of 12 at How's market. not sure how big of a chain they are but i know there's one on Huntington near rosemead (same area as B-Man's and Baskin Robbins). Price good 'til Tues. the 17th.

Also, $10.99 at RiteAid. and while you're there, grab a bottle of Grey Goose for $24.99, 750ml (though that's not the cheapest i've seen the Goose. i think it was as low as $21.99 before, but rare). Prices good 'til Thurs. the 19th.

just in time for the long weekend :beer:
