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.

Tuesday October 25, 2016 12:01 AM Trump son tours Yuengling brewery in Schuylkill County By Ron Devlin 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. TODAY'S SPONSOR:
"This is an amazing American success story," Trump said during a brief news conference at the brewery. "We need a lot more of these." Escorted by Richard "Dick" Yuengling Jr., the fifth-generation scion of the oldest brewer in America, Trump toured the brewery with a small group that included Schuylkill County GOP leaders. News reporters were excluded from the tour of the plant. Trump's visit, which lasted about 45 minutes, was part of a daylong tour of central and northeastern Pennsylvania. Earlier, Trump visited the state Capitol and spoke to a Fraternal Order of Police lodge in Harrisburg. Later Monday, he was to speak to a four-county gathering of Republican leaders in Scranton. Analysts say that winning Pennsylvania, a battleground state, is critical to Donald Trump winning the Nov. 8 presidential election. Eric Trump predicted his father would win Pennsylvania based on a message that resonates with workers like those at Yuengling, a long established business that has been in Schuylkill County since 1829. "Because of a great company like Yuengling," Trump said, "workers can educate their kids and live a prosperous lifestyle." 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."
>> Time to start drinking Yuengling Freepers!
Definitely.
Trump & Yuengling BUMP!
Unfortunately their great beer isn’t available in most states.
Mainly distributed along the east coast, and unavailable in northern New England.
*mail order minimum shipping charge for beer is prohibitively expensive.
Their red amber Classic is one of the Best beers I’ve ever had.
We always have Yuengling in the house. Now, it will taste even better.
Mike Pence will be in Bucks County, PA on Friday.
The sales from Deplorables is enough to make that small company so BIG.
I never liked it very much. Always preferred Rolling Rock. I stopped drinking that after they stopped brewing it in Latrobe. I think it’s in New Jersey now. Couldn’t pay me to drink it.
Yuengling bought a old brewery here in Tampa and I did the tour about 3mo ago.
Yuengling Lager has been my preferred beer for several years now.
Interesting story each new generation Yuengling Brewery owners, the Yuengling family, had to BUY the company. It was not bequeathed to the next generation.
So the current owners are not bored Ivy League types.
State?
Yuengling Lager beats Bud and Coors by far.
I knew I couldn’t get a nice answer.
This is just in case anyone reads and in the future feels in any way charitable toward fellow freepers who appreciate such geographical info
Because whenever we ask we get a lot of crap for it. It’s just that we want to know. That’s all
Dude, didn’t I answer you? And wasn’t your query insolent to start with? .... wasn’t it?
I’ve seen that beer in stores, but never knew how to pronounce the name. I also thought it was named after a Chinese province.
>> State?
Yinzer.
