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. …

Pingling.
We were getting very, very close to a mutual solution and were working late.
“Let's send out for pizza and get some beer rather than start again in the morning”, some wise person said.
One of the management guys came back with the pizza and innocently, Coors (made by non-union brewers back then). The union guys would not drink it and squabbling started.
4 weeks later, rather than that night, we had an agreement,
If it is like Wash. state (where I live), two cities (Seattle and Tacoma) out vote the rest of the state combined.
People in this state always fall for some version of tax the rich. They never seem to realize that those taxes one way or the other come out of their pocket. Been that way for years, but these voters are the definition of insanity — doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result.
I never even heard of Yuengling.
When I read the header I thought you were referring to something Chinese. Seriously.

Love their beer. We now have it on most of the east coast.
The original spelling of the family’s name is apparently “Jüngling” (literally “youngling”), from the name of founder David Gottlob Jüngling who came from Aldingen in Germany in 1823.
The Straub Brewery in St. Mary’s, PA has several good beers plus season beers, bock beer, craft beers, etc. They set up special days at bars and beer distributors all around the state.
The flagship beer is a 1880’s recipe that has a distinct taste not found in the mass-produced swill. I liked it a lot before I quit drinking.
Check out their website. If you go there, they have the Eternal Tap where you can have a few free glasses.
It did bemuse me how a Chinese beer came to be America’s oldest, and not on the West Coast either. So the answer is: It isn’t Chinese. It’s German.
Nice one, FredZarguna.
Yuengling lager is good. I get it locally, and definitely buy it when in PA.
Well, splitting up the syllables, “Yueng” looks more like a Korean transliteration rather than Chinese; and of course “Ling”, and we aren’t even getting into pitch accents.
Yueng could also be Korean. It is Japanese who are allergic to L (cf. the use of the word Lollapalooza as a shibboleth to identify Japanese spies in WWII).
After 3 or 4 sots of tequila that’s what the doorbell sounded like when it rang... “Yuengling..Yuengling”
That s*** is great too! I had it while down in AL for the Field Target nationals. I’ve gotta find it out here in the land run by idiots...
If you see posts of interest to Pennsylvanians, please ping me.
Thanks!
Thanks lightman for the heads up
Coors is not beer. It is a beer-like substance. :P
Just a matter of time before they move the whole company from PA to Tampa...It wouldn’t taste the same. Rolling Rock was flavored by peeing in the waters of the Laurel Highlands and Yuengling derives it’s skunky taste from shiiting in the Koo-Koo river.
I recommend their Black and Tan. Their Porter is not bad.
I always order a Yuengling...good beer with no snot nosed a$$wipe gay following.....
Yuengling Porter is my brew of choice through the winter months.
I'll be trying black and tan on your recommendation.
