Yuengling bills its Pottsville, Pennsylvania, brewery as the oldest in the nation, but its beer won’t be served at Democrat Gov.-elect Tom Wolf’s inaugural celebration. […]
Yuengling’s president Richard Yuengling Jr. is a GOP activist who supports “right to work” laws barring mandatory union dues and membership. Wolf received major support from organized labor in his campaign. …

Gonna have to go buy me some Yuengling on my next beer run!
Wolfman is off to a great start.
Appoint a State Police Commissioner from Maryland.
Fill the cabinet with a bunch of Rendell retreads.
And now pizz off Yuengling drinkers.
It’s gong to be a ride.
it's in my local taproom so i'll be making up for some of it tomorrow... besides RATS seldom drink beer, they sip white wine
Bucs signed Kang, Yinz.
Even more reason to buy a Yuengling, first time I ever tried it, for that price, it was absolute nectar the way you can get those 32 ouncers.
... is the only other old brewery left in PA. The rest are Johnny-come-latelys.
How did this LIEberal Democrat Bozo get elected?
Yuengling has been my beer or choice for a while. I got a buddy named Ted that keeps a case in his trunk.
Yinny’s are OK
If, by some miracle, I was the governor-elect of Pennsylvannia, the only two beers to be served that night would be Yuengling or Lionshead...
Just a matter of time before they move the whole company from PA to Tampa...
Bad news for Neil Walker. [Neal Huntington confirming all suspicions that he is, in fact, insane.]
If by "major support from" you mean "is owned lock, stock and barrel by".
Actually could be a bit of good news, though certainly not all good. some of PA’s more confusing liquor laws are kept on the books in part through Yuengling lobbying. Yuengling has been a force for good in the PA beer market, but also a force for protectionism and status quo.
If Wolf starts down the path to punishing Yuengling by opening up the beer market, a lot of the dumb liquor laws the unions cling to on wine and hard booze are going to get the attention they deserve in retaliation.
Unions, for one. PennsylJerseyans for another. And probably fraud, given what happened during 2012 during the general.
One would have thought that his creepy ads with schoolkids where he talks about hitting the fracking companies with extraction taxes would have turned voters off, but not those hardcore libs.
Simple, the PA Republicans acted personified Democrats and all the Democrats had to do was just lie about being for the working class while the Republicans raised the gas taxes and continued to spend. Voila! Now we in PA have this monstrosity and the idiot union and elderly voters will soon believe the next lie, "Republican policies got us into this (insert talking point) position" without one iota of a plan to get out of it; outside taxing the shit out of us and funding "public" (read union) projects; and they are not far off.
PA is doomed and it won't take long. We cannot handle the pensions that are being paid and are coming due. We cannot handle the generous payouts for disability and other "entitlements" and the citizenry will suffer. Just wait until the "townships" really need to make payroll, PA citizens are about to REALLY see "cops gone wild"; across the state. If I were a cop, I would be seeking a different line of employment. It will get ugly for them youngin coppers toeing the line punishing the citizenry with PA's multitude of BS laws.
