Beer drinkers disavow Yuengling after owner shows support for Trump
Philly Voice ^ | 10/26/2016 | PATRICIA MADEJ

Posted on 10/26/2016 2:50:35 PM PDT by dirtboy

The owner of America's oldest brewery has come out in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and the company's faithful drinkers aren't too happy about it.

Eric Trump, the nominee's son, stopped at D. G. Yuengling & Son's in Pottsville on Monday while campaigning on behalf of his father.

His message to the company? Hard-working family businesses like Yuengling, a fixture in Schuylkill County since the 1800s, would thrive under a President Trump, the Reading Eagle reported Tuesday.

Yuengling's response?

"Our guys are behind your father," 73-year-old owner Richard "Dick" Yuengling Jr. said, according to the newspaper. "We need him in there."

Some fans of the beer were quick to retaliate Wednesday, declaring they plan to stop drinking Yuengling altogether. That includes Communications Director for Philadelphia's City Council, Jane Roh.

Can’t buy Yuengling in Missouri. Otherwise I’d buy a pick up truck load.

Yuengling family survived prohibition by making ice cream for a few years, which they are making now too. Good family, good business. Solid company. Just ask for a Lager and vote for Trump.

Had no idea it’s an American beer. Sounds Chinese. I’ll have to see if I can find it locally and pick up a 6-pack or two. Support a company that supports America and the only logical choice for our next president.

Yuengling has nothing to fear from these morons. It has expanded its distribution southward down the eastern seaboard, then turned westward at Florida. Louisiana has recently been added to the distribution map. I picked some up during a fuel stop in Natchitoches, LA just two weeks ago. It’s a decent, inexpensive beer and you can now buy it across all of the Deep South. Let the Clintonoids rant.

Yes. That was why I stopped buying their product. Not bad beer, but I ain’t buying it anymore.

Descendents of Samuel Adams should sue.

Some? Is that about three?

It's like Katie Couric's famous "Some people say..." followed by some liberal talking point.
