I do so enjoy reading a beer discussion... (or you can just remove the words reading and discussion). As a homebrewer and person who enjoys sampling as many different brews as possible (although not all at once!) I wanted to chime in.
Let's all stop for a minute and think about the comparisons that many are making between different beers. Comparing lagers to IPAs to ESBs to amber ales is like comparing french fries to hash browns to potato chips (to maybe vodka?). All three styles of beer are made from basically the same ingredients and all the potato products are made from, well, potatoes. But that is where the similarities between them end. Each different style of beer has different ratios of ingredients and different production processes - and then some have specific specialty ingredients.
IPAs by nature are high hoppiness (and thus high IBUs) because the extra hopping is what protected them from spoiling back when they travelled the British empire by boat. ESBs are a milder (in terms of IBUs) version of the Bitter and are designed to be more malty than a bitter, which is, in turn, more malty than a pale ale or IPA. Most simple lagers (not getting into Bocks) are by nature low in both malt and hop flavors.
If it is mid-summer and I'm wandering the World, I could certainly grab a lager to be refreshed, but it is not something I would go to for taste satisfaction. My wife and her fellow hop-heads will gladly have an IPA at any given moment whereas I would only have one to pair with specific foods. I could have an ESB right now with my breakfast if one was available and the world of brown/Scottish/dark ales (stouts and porters included) is where I spend most days.
So, back to the OP - you can find Yeungling all over the place in the World. I haven't bought many there, but know that the bottles are on display in most hotel bars. To everyone in the discussion, next time you have the chance, try a different brew than you are used to - but make sure you know what you are getting!
