Trump son tours Yuengling brewery in Schuylkill County

East Norwegian Township, PA

If Donald Trump were president, there'd be a lot more places like D.G. Yuengling & Son, the Pottsville, Schuylkill County-based brewing company. ... So said Eric Trump, son of the Republican Party nominee for president, Monday during a whistle-stop tour of Yuengling's brewery in East Norwegian Township.

"This is an amazing American success story," Trump said during a brief news conference at the brewery. "We need a lot more of these."
....

Trump said high taxes, over-regulation and Obamacare are "destroying" American businesses - a familiar theme of the Trump campaign. ... "My father's going to make it a lot easier for business to function," he declared. "We're going to do it right here in the U.S."

Dick Yuengling welcomed Trump, thanking him for taking the time to visit the brewery. ... "Our guys are behind your father," Yuengling said. "We need him in there."

Beer drinkers disavow Yuengling after owner shows support for Trump

That's too bad. I like Yuengling. I don't know why the guy wants to alienate half his customers. There are alternatives.

1. There's one beer I'll never drink again nt

12. Remember this beer back in September 2015?

Iowa brewery gives Hillary Clinton its 'Chill Clinton' beer

When we got a call from Secret Service, we thought we were in trouble for using the name, but she was cool with it,” says manager Dalton Lyons, who was there when Tursi presented her the beer. “She loved the idea of it. She thought it was funny.”

2. A brewer from rural Pennsylvania supports Trump. No one saw that one coming.

I don't drink to begin with so....anyone who does, feel free to use another brand.

3. Yuengling is garbage

[VMA131Marine]

4. Does nobody else see the irony in this story?

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of craft breweries setting up shop all across the country because people want locally brewed beer with flavor. Apparently the Little Trump does not know this.

5. Too bad Donald said we don't make anything in America anymore.

6. Glad I tried it once and hated it

Like drinking a roast beef dinner.

11. Now, that's gross. Yuck!

[DonCoquixote]

7. what is sad is

it is a good beeer, which is mostly made in TAMPA. They bought out the old schlitz brewery. Not that I minded, as they did save jobs, but boy did they pick a poor horse to back.

8. Pretty crappy beer

In my humble opinion. We recently spent several years in the Fingerlakes region of central NYS, and it was one of the first beers we tried. Coming from Colorado and the PNW, I was shocked at the poor quality. We eventually found some good microbrews.

9. Norway has some of the highet taxes in Europe?

I thought.

10. Yuengling is good at first but man it turms sour quick

I used to drink it all the time, but I noticed that 3/4 through a bottle (dont even bother drinking the sludge they sell in cans) it would turm sour. It must have something to do with the temperature or the brewing process. I found I was pouring out the rest of the bottles and wasting money.

[chimpymustgo]

13. Damn. Just bought my LAST 12-pack yesterday!

What do you drink now?

[GusBob]

15. Stella Artois when I can afford it. Or Grolsch, Becks, Tecate or Modelo

[DeminPennswoods]

14. The family has been known as RW'ers for a long time

This isn't a surprise because the Yuengling's have been known to be right wing conservatives for a long time. I've had Yuengling and it's good beer. Black and Tan is my favorite. I'm sure they employ people who don't subscribe to the family's politics, so why hurt them?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

16. I like the Black and Tan too.

In northern Virginia, you can get Yuengling everywhere. All the grocery stores have it as the regular lager (in cans and bottles, 6-packs, 12-packs, and 24-can or bottle cases), the light beer, and the black and tan (in 12-packs of bottles). You can buy it at the Rite-Aid, the CVS, Walgreen....

When you bought it, the money stayed in the US, unlike purchases of anything from the-two-big-companies-that-shall-be-named.

I'm sorry the owner did this. All he's accomplishing is getting rid of half his customers.

Obama Settles Beer Bet With Yuengling

Prez sends case of Pa. beer to Canada

By Andrew Wagner

More was on the line than just North American bragging rights when Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal gave Canada a 3-2 win over the U.S. in the Olympic ice hockey finals.

A case of beer was also up for grabs in a friendly wager between the country's leaders.

President Barack Obama followed through on his hockey bet with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper by sending case of Molson Canadian north of the border.

Had the United States won, Obama requested a case of Pennsylvania-brewed Yuengling. The Pottsville, Pa. brewery is not only America's oldest beer maker but also the President’s brew of choice.
