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.

I’m giving them a shout out on their Facebook (link above) that I am heading over to Sams tonight and picking up a couple of cases for me and hubby and will continue to do so. I won’t break team now I know they are on my team.
Can’t buy Yuengling in Missouri. Otherwise I’d buy a pick up truck load.
His sales will skyrocket.
Well, you can buy Yuengling n Maryland, and by damn we will. Even though hub brews his own.
I’ll get some next week.
All beer is pretty good imho. It is beer after all. Never had a favorite.
Now I do!
; )
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.
+1
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.
Will do!
I am in Wisconsin this week, getting home at half past midnight, then getting in a car with my buddies to drive eight hours out to Buffalo to go to a football game...I suspect there will be many opportunities to have one for you!
Gotta support conservatives, don’t ya know!!!
What is your fourth? (beer of the evening)
Their Facebook page needs Freeping. Some real “nasty” progressives over there already. Help them out Freepers.
Lol...if that were true for me I’d have about 10,000 little AR15 Jr’s running around the house!
Me too. And homosexual marriage.
America’s oldest brewery, founded in 1829.
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.
Heading out to do food shopping in a few minutes. Just added a sixer of Yuengling’s Black & Tan to the list.
I don’t drink at all but I will find some buy it and donate it to the local American legion hall
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.
It's like Katie Couric's famous "Some people say..." followed by some liberal talking point.
