Your partner thinks Guinness loses its quality on the voyage to the States so chooses Yuengling as it's replacement?

While I've drank my fair share of Yuengling, I wouldn't abandon even a poor Guinness pour for it.

Scruffy Murphys has good beer prices. I think I was paying $6.50 for a pint of Guinness. I imagine domestics are even more reasonably priced.

Blame my Dad on the Yuengling! He got him hooked. I think all Guinness tastes cat, US and Ireland. But Irish people are fierce protective of their Guinness and won’t drink a poor pint.

It's probably a phase lol

I think I drank 8 cases of Yuengling in a year when I decided I liked it. I was like having one a night. Then two. Then I found reasons to have it - like while mowing or washing the car. I read about people having shower beers, so I took one to the shower with me. That's when my wife caught me. 😢 She didn't disapprove of me having my beer in the shower. But she didn't want to join, either. It's about that time I decided to go to the redemption center. I figured it was time to clean house. I got $35 back in recycled cans. It was a real eyeopener. I've scaled back since then.

Good to know it might just be a phase! If I catch him with one in the shower, I’ll know to start the intervention.

No way, nothing like a good shower beer. If you catch him with one in the shower leave him be, he's just enjoying himself!

Haha- thanks for the tip. I’ll keep that in mind.

Honestly seems normal to me. My beer taste is either good high quality craft shit or Miller High Life. Good or shit. There's no in between.
