I drink Yuengling Lager 'all the time'. "Yingling" does seem to be the most
common pronunciation around here (Pittsburgh), although I never had any
trouble wiith "Yuengling" [with the umlaut] either, and some people around
here say "Yoongling" or "Yewngling" or so. The nickname (which seems to be
universally recognized) is of course "Ying Yang". Another popular brand
around here is Milwaukee's Best [made by Miller], nicknamed "Beast".
