Here's one of the patches:
I had the opportunity to take the free tour of the Yuengling Brewery back in November 2007. I took a picture of sign that they had over a doorway, which shows their great support for the military:

The D.G. Yuengling & Sons seal is printed on numerous items, from beer cans, bottles, shirts, hats and, believe it or not, patches worn by a certain Army National Guard unit on overseas missions.
“It reminds of home, actually,” said Chief Warrant Officer Joseph T. Witmer of Etters, York County, who wears a patch that resembles the label on Yuengling Traditional Lager beer.
Before mobilizing Thursday to prepare for a tour in Iraq, nine Army National Guard soldiers from the 2nd Battalion 104th Aviation, Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, saluted Yuengling President Richard “Dick” Yuengling Jr. Tuesday morning at the brewery gift shop in Pottsville, thanking him for allowing the unit to merge his colors with theirs.
“We’re very appreciative,” said Capt. Nathan D. Smith, Lebanon.
“Your appreciation of me is exceeded by my appreciation of you. Good luck to everybody,” Yuengling said.
“The patches are something Mr. Yuengling had authorized for us on our last deployment, which was in October 2004 in Kosovo. What patch you have will depend on what unit you’re in,” Witmer said....
The unit presented Yuengling with a few gifts, included a framed shadow-box display featuring the unit’s five Yuengling patches. A mini gold-plated inscription on front stated: “To D.G. Yuengling & Sons Inc. for your devoted support of 2-104th GSAB.” The unit also gave Yuengling an Army-green flight suit, tagged with a Yuengling patch and an identification patch with Yuengling’s name on it “with air crew wings,” Witmer said.
Vickie Lord, a Yuengling tour guide, led the soldiers dressed in olive greens and digital-pattern camouflage, through the Mahantongo Street brewery.
The battalion also presented Yuengling with a plaque from the Army National Guard’s recruiting retention section for his long-standing support of the military services....

N G Bump!
A well balanced diet includes a daily does of vitamin Y.
My favorite fall-back beer. My mouse is on a Yuengling pad right now.
Nice gesture.
How soon will it be before the neo-Addie Daniels’ start their whining.
Been there, done that (drinking copious quantities of Yuengling of course). Great stuff: beer, patches, support for our military and all.

Addie Daniels?
About the only American Owned and operated brewery left.
Well, at least in terms of large-sized ones. There’s also the maker of Sam Adams.
It was a quiz.
Addie Daniels was the wife of Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy from 1913 - 1921. An ardent prohibitionist, it is said that she was the one who had her husband issue General Order NO. 99 banning all alchohol on ships.
Well BOO on her!
Yuengling Black and Tan is very good and priced right in New Jersey.
I have 4 bottles of the Black and Tan in my fridge at the moment. I think it has become my favorite of the Yuengling offerings.

We were just talking about Yuengling beer the other day. I’m amazed that it is still around. It used be really cheap, sixteen ounce glass bottles for the price of 12 oz.
They’re down here in Virginia as well. They distribute in a total of 12 states apparently, all up and down the East Coast.
Those are Fine folks there in Pottsville, PA.
note to self: pick up a 12 pack on the way home.
Did you live on the East Coast at some point?
