It's a once-in-a-century kind of birthday present. Soon-to-be 107-year-old Margaret Dilullo said she attributes her longevity to drinking a Yuengling a day.
The Pottsville-based brewery also knew that, so it delivered an early birthday gift of nearly 500 cans of her favorite Traditional Lager to her home in Spring Township, with her family and friends by her side.
"There's five generations of her family," said Debbie Yuengling, employee engagement and culture manager for D.G. Yuengling & Son. "We have six generations in our family, and that's taken us almost 200 years. There's a lot of similarities, but I think it's consumers and drinkers like her, which you don't see often, that's why we're making great beer."
She sure is still with us! :-)
From a few days ago!

And she’s an inspiration!
God bless Margaret and her family!
Gee, if one a day got her to 106, just think what 6 would do? I’m encouraged!😎
Awesome! Thanks for finding that for us!
You’re welcome!
We will toast them with a Yuengling tonight! :-)
Marines used to do 20 mile hikes with full gear.. and took smoke breaks along the way. Lol.
The guy on the right in the yellow shirt was photoshopped in. The light is all wrong.
😉👌
A highlight of any trip to NE Pennsylvania is a visit to the original brewery, which was carved into a hill by the German immigrant founder, and is still in use. During prohibition, they switched to making ice cream of all things.
Cool story... thanks for sharing.
