- In this video Nate tries six green-bottled beers blindly in black glasses including one of our own. We understand that this is not an apples to apples comparison, but we had some fun with the green bottles and all of these beers presented well.

Pretty embarrassed not to pick up more easily on the Yuengling, but I knew something was there! It's clearly an outlier here, but my mind 100% assumed we were drinking pale lager across the board when thinking about beers in green bottles. The black glasses are fantastic, and I love how much I learn with each tasting.
Nate, would you consider videos that do a deep dive into your beers? I would appreciate knowing more about your family of beers. For example, I'm currently enamored with Super Treat. I would like to know how you developed it and what in its formulation makes it so incredibly appealing. Tree of Discovery would be another.
Certainly, in time. The whiteboard is overflowing in a good way!
@@treehousebrewco If you need a wingman, I'm ready. Can be at the Tewksbury HQ in 5 minutes.
It is surprising to me that Yuengling didn't stand out as more flavorful than the paler lagers. It goes to show how appearance has a strong effect on our perceptions of these beers.
it definitely did but not enough to overcome my assumption it was an overly sweet pale lager
I remember going to the Yuengling facility as a teenager and thinking how cool it was to see a company with so much history mondernize and continue for generations. I bet if that first generation of Yuengling founders could see what Treehouse is doing and taste their beer, they would tip their cap! Let's all hope Treehouse is still making their delicious beer in 200 years :)
that’s the goal
Let me just comment on Yuengling. Year ago I belonged to a brewing club here in Florida. I worked for a international water treatment company and knew how important the water chemistry is to beer, and even if you strip it down and rebuild it to the same mineral characteristics it is rarely the same. I told the guys this and they didn't believe me. Just so happened I was making a trip to Pa and came home with a case of Pottsville Yuengling. Next meeting I had everything for a blind taste test. I ask them to taste the beer and tell me which one was Yuengling. They were all shocked to find out they both were. They are two totally different beers, Tampa vs. Pottsville. Pottsville was the better beer by far.
Rolling Rock used to be a good beer but take it away from it origin waters and its very different. Your water makes a huge difference.
Fascinating!
100% agree and have done both too.
we have fantastic water where I live and it blows me away how people will spend money on beer made with mexican water vs one of our MANY MANY local craft beers such as 10 Barrel, Sunriver, Deschutes, or Goodlife
PA local here. Yuengling has two facilities in Pottsville, their OG historic brewery and a newer, larger brewery outside of town. You can taste the difference between the two, even only being two miles apart, as the OG brewery still runs on filtered spring water while the new facility uses city tap water.
Which one tastes better?@@chrisbreneman6605
This is by far the best tasting comparison on the internet. Thanks guys.
Wow, thanks!
Audio is great given the setting. Just the right amount of ambient noise without drowning voice out. These tasting videos inspired me to pick up a mixed 6 pack to have some frame of reference to my own beers.
Just waiting for Tree House Colorado…
Love the content!
I really enjoy these videos, great job to all involved.
I was lucky enough as a kid to see weird al at the California State Fair. I had loved his parody songs for a few years and he is an amazing performer. He definitely deserves everything and to be in the rock and roll hall of fame
Always love the content! You guys are awesome. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Keep em coming!!! Love the location. Love the beer
Loving these videos! Always an immediate watch when I see you uploaded a new one. Wish I could get Tree House beers in CA
Glad you like them!
I'd pick Yuengling in a heartbeat, my favorite beer. Crazy thing Yuengling tastes differently from a bottle to can and i enjoy cans way more. When local restaurants and bars around here in Pa i go to have it on draft, its better yet! Just visited the place last summer with an awesome tour and awesome history behind their beer. By the way an awesome taste test🍻
Love these videos! We used to get drunk, rate beers and argue in a buddies shed about rankings, super interesting to hear a pros opinion!
I might be in the minority, but I love when you take a longer, more detailed look into beers or just have longer videos in general. Not that I don’t enjoy the short ones. Easier to watch, probably easier to edit, but for me length isn’t necessarily a turn off. Love watching your videos and seeing what you guys are putting out.
we appreciate the feedback! it's counterintuitively harder to edit the shorter videos. we are always adjusting! I prefer longer format too but have to pay attention to the metrics
Another fun one!
Keep these taste tests going youre great at it and ill definitely keep watching
this is awesome... great video man
Thanks for the visit
Clearly I have a style because I like all the ones you grouped together!
I should try Heineken in a can sometime. I’ve always just thought of it as bottled skunk.
Dos Equis , my choice ! The Winner , I’ve tried them all !
I only buy green and clear bottled beers in sealed 12 packs so, hopefully, they are not light struck.
Great video. I haven’t had the Yuengling or Parel. I’ll have to track them down. I haven’t seen Moosehead around in a long time.
Take it from a guy from California. I went to Kentucky in April 2023, a co worker of mine introduced me to Yuengling. I went back in November and one of the first things I did when I got there was to go to the store and get a 12 pack of Yuengling. It's sad that they don't sell it here in California. I've looked everywhere for it.
The black glasses are a cool idea. surprised there was no skunkiness in the heineken.
Almost every Heineken I've tasted was skunk beer. Same with Corona...except in Mexico.
You should have added Beck’s to this tasting. It’s a very crisp and clean flavor. I always preferred it in cans, though.
Great inexpensive drinker there
Stella and yeungling are delish! I used to love rolling rock too but haven’t been able to find it locally since I moved.
I've never been a huge fan of Rolling Rock, it just doesn't have much going for it in my opinion. Great video! Cheers!
A fresh green bottle of Forst is pretty good. That would have been my underdog pick for comparison!
Damn was hoping you guys would feature the greek beer Mythos as it's in a green bottle as well. Awesome vids though keep em up!
Yes, Mythos is also very good, just like Dreher.
Good buds!!!, I just want to taste A Treehouse one day….wish for widespread distribution someday…
Stella is my favorite!! Once yuengling was priced at 1.29 for 24oz .. and gave me IBS , wondering if its the water or just not as good anymore
Cool. Fun video. I, too, prefer Heineken over Stella ... +plus I like how Heineken is brewed overseas ! a true import, instead of Stella, brewed in St. Louis or LA by AB-inBev.
Watching the video and enjoying a Parel at the same time. Life is good.
Sunday!!
I love your pilsners! Looking forward to getting some Parel. What about a blind some time with some authentic Czech and German imports like Unetice 12, Hostomice Fabian, Weihenstephaner pils, Ayinger or Paulaner Pils, etc. It might be a bit harder blind, but I bet Trail would do really well!
I'd be interested to know why you chose to package your pilsner in a green bottle (or actually why anyone does!). Does it just come down to marketing appeal, or is there some other benefit you hope to get (e.g: different flavour profile). Thanks!
When I was in my beer drinking days in the 70's, Rolling Rock from Latrobe, PA was a favorite when I wanted to spend a little more money. My everyday six pack was Schmidt's of Philadelphia. A great beer and then you could get it for a buck for a six pack. The fall back was Old Milwaukee for the same price. Glug, glug, glug.
the good old days
Morning Nate.
I'm routing for Yuengling as a Pennsylvanian
Yes my favorite also! All of their beers are excellent
I wish treehouse was more available in ky
Got to drink Rolling Rock in a can as it's still brewed in the glass lines barrels from the original recipe, the bottles are not. Love ice cold Rolling Rock from the can... And still so cheap!
Rolling Rock has always been my go to when there’s no crafties available.
Rolling Rock never fails, to disappoint in a test as far as I have seen
🙃
St Pauli Girl would have been a nice beer to add to the mix.
You should try a DIPA ranked tasting
my vote goes for the italian lagers, peroni and moretti, although moretti is in a brown bottle. my favorite i can't get anymore is steinlager from new zealand. honorable mention to grolsch and carlsberg
Would have loved to see the OG green bottle - Grolsch - in there. Good lineup to taste though.
Good call! limited by our local store for now
Any reason to pkg Parel in green bottles? Risk of becoming light struck vs trying to attract customers used to green bottles?
we have set up the brewery for ultimate creative flexibility and wanted to make something unfamiliar in the craft market. and… have a little fun! we have the ability to monitor freshness directly and avoid UV in out coolers so I am not concerned about the downfalls of green that can effect beer in mass market distro
we also packaged it in 12 oz cans 😀
@@treehousebrewco Can to green bottle compare would be cool !
Would be interesting to see Beck's in this one.
Moosehead 🇨🇦 👍🏻
Surprised Heineken beat out Stella and Yuengling but that's a blind taste test! Looking forward to picking up Parel.
Heineken was great here. Crisp and refreshing
Wasn't it not so great/poor in a prior tasting? Seems like there will be tremendous variability in the green bottle beers because of storage and age. Is it just a random event in terms of how good it is depending upon the retail chain?@@treehousebrewco
Freshness is important, winter distribution probably helps. This same taste test in the middle of summer could be completely different.
Heineken in cans has been my go to for years when craft is not available.
Heineken? The Zero came in second in the NA tasting
West coast ipa showdown next pls
nice! aal next?
There is one on the channel now but more on the way
Speaking of great beer in green bottles: try DREHER, it's very good!
Gdzie Perełka?
Now, to increase interaction and sales, you should brew Parel as a homebrew and provide the recipe. 😄
They must have changed the recipe for Yuengling if it tastes like Stella and Moosehead now. Definitely had it's own unique taste when I was drinking it by the pitcher in my 20's.
it stood out as sweet for sure
It would be interesting to see Nate do a blind tasting of just more highly regarded hazy IPAs (that include treehouse) and see if he can actually tell any differences between them.
i taste beers across the market all day everyday. it is actually far more difficult for me to taste and differentiate these beers than what I am far more familiar with. i have concerns veering into this territory because i don’t wish, in particular, to harm our peers with critical feedback if i have it. i am trying to promote the virtue of craft to a larger audience for both tree house and the rest. with macro i feel there is a degree of separation and our influence isn’t nearly as big with their customer base so it makes more sense. we are playing with format and thinking of ideas to make this possible. one approach would be to comment on the beers and my perception of them without revealing the makers to myself or the audience
My comment is exactly the same for rolling rock. I m more for the malty flavors
I would love to see Yuengling Light up agaist other light lagers.
Also Yuengling Flight up against the "lower carb" beers like Michelobe Ultra
I like yuengling premium light. Very drinkable, cheap beer.
In my 33 years of (legal) drinking and maybe a few “other years” I don’t think I’ve ever ever had a non-light struck Moosehead.
Heineken always a go to for me but reach for cans when I can or on tap where they have it.
Look forward to trying Parel!
Bring your beer to Raleigh North Carolina please!
😯
Should have had Grolsh in this as well.
pretty cool to see the platform I built on CZcams
Not surprised the craft beer won and RR is last.
Not surprising given that it would almost certainly be the freshest beer in the tasting, giving it a massive advantage.
Had a Heineken the other day and was pleasantly surprised. I still like it. Now I’m not going to rank it in my top 250 beers but it’s still done well as a clean Dutch lager.
perfect way of looking at it
A beer expert isn’t picking Stella out immediately? That’s surprising
maybe I'm kind of plebeian but I prefer rolling rock to any of these. rolling rock pairs perfectly with mexican food too
These are great videos, no need to try and “speed them up”, the previous ones were just as good.
Glad you like them!
From a blind tasting perspective, I totally understand why you're drinking from blackout glasses, but from an entertainment standpoint, I prefer the visuals of seeing the different beers, as well as hearing Nat comment on the beers colour, the head, the lacing and how it correlates to the qualities he's tasting.
both approaches have benefits, in this particular instance, removing any potential bias of color or clarity we felt really important
we're almost at 30k!
no kidding- so close!
Call me crazy but I actually enjoy Rolling Rock. It’s refreshing
As somebody who grew up in Latrobe, it makes me sad to see Rolling Rock occupy the lowest of the bottom shelf these days. I get it locally for $7.50 for a 12 pack of bottles. It's drinkable, but sometimes I get hit with some off flavors that remind me of a burning tire.
Why would Treehouse release Parel in a green bottle?
because it’s fun and we’ve set up our brewery to do interesting things. given that it’s a small batch (60 bbls) relative to the massive batches put out by macros, we can protect it from light and ensure it’s freshness. This batch sold out in days.
In comparing Stella and Heineken, I have always found Stella to be drier, crisper and Heineken to drink sweeter.
I appreciate this I've never had Parel but but i would Heineken and then Stella and rolling rock tastes like piss.
Do hamms beer bro,it's not bad.
Thought the selection was...odd if not interesting. The only surprising note to me was the similary between Yuengling and Stella, as Stella is...I was just under the impression everyone was in agreement that it was a superior beer.
This is one of the funny things I am learning about myself with these blind, biased-free tastings. So many of us look to others for what we should like or find pressure to fall in line with popular perceptions. There is no right or wrong answer to what we each find the most pleasure in whether it’s a product of marketing or quality or a combination of both
Moosehead ❤
I must have only ever had light struck green bottled beers, especially Heineken, always skunky tasting
Could have added Peroni to this group
Would be curious to know why a green bottle was chosen for a Treehouse beer.
The bottle looks beautiful and we can have the ability to control any potential downsides of the less protective format
Also, a very small run
Sample #4 is a 10hr round trip vs 10 minute round trip for the rest. 🤷♂️
I have such a soft spot for Rolling Rock. It's a crap beer, but I drank so much of it in my dorm. To this day I can still drink one, even though I won't drink other not great beers.
nostalgia is a powerful thing
@@treehousebrewco Yes, it is! Cheers!
no Becks?
Local didn’t have it. Next time
@@treehousebrewco it stinks anyway ;)
Not sure why Breweries put so much effort in brewing their Beer and than fill it in green Bottles. Some people like the light struck off flavor. For me tasting it is no fun at all. And your cellar looks soo awesome!
surprisingly here there wasn’t much in the way of skunkiness. A little in the Stella and Rolling Rock
Where's the becks at.
our local didn’t have it
Blindly?
that’s right
Oof,i cant stand heiny 😂 it has some weird aftertaste to me.
STELLA NO CONTEST
The Queen of the Skanks was my ex-wife. Let's see who the King of the (light struck) Skunks is... 🤔
Basically an ad for their beer
You don't hear much about Heineken anymore, I still wonder why, to me, it has been one of the best, always thought MGD was the best tasting beer, but I didn't like the buzz, Drank Bud for 10 years, don't know how I held a job, lucky I was young, the next morning is like you took Quaaludes, after Bud, I finished out my drinking career with Mich light, smooth, nice buzz, NO HANGOVER.
Haven’t Drank a Green Bottled beer in over 20 years because of the skunkyness. Has the Technology changed? What’s with all the bad beer reviews?😂🍻Love the channel though 🍻
Peroni would like a word
Uh no. Spaten!
Rolling rock always tasted like cardboard to me. No Becks?
local store didn’t have it
Cardboard is mostly associated with oxidised characters.
Come on man! You can smell Heineken from across a smoked filled room (where it’s normally drank anyway) and you know good and well your picking the beer you made over others. A true test is by the people not the employees
"I love a hop forward beer." Translation... Our brewery only makes various flavors of IPA.
Yeahhhh, hoppy beer is the opposite of good. I’ll stick with my German wheat’s.
Stella is most likely the worst beer I have ever had.
Yuengling lager tastes like stella? Lol yea sure bud.
Yeah, that seems like a big miss to me. I’ve had a lot of both and they taste very different. Will have to try a blind taste test I guess
