How to pronounce yuengling

Wannamaker may have been confused about the correct pronunciation of Yuengling (YING-LING). But the amber lager’s smooth taste and its price have made him a believer. For the same reasons, Yuengling has found a lot of converts in the nine months since it was introduced in Greensboro.

Yuengling (pronounced Ying-ling) means “young man” in German. The tricky name — some pint drinkers mistakenly think it is Chinese — would later present marketing problems for the company. The business survived 14 years of Prohibition by selling the legal low-alcohol substitute “near pint” and making ice cream.

“Yuengling Traditional Lager is an iconic American lager famous for its rich amber color and medium-bodied flavor. Brewed with roasted caramel malt for a subtle sweetness and a combination of cluster and cascade hops, this true original promises a well balanced taste with very distinct character.”
