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.

OMG! If this news gets out, Yuengling will outsell every market of beer drinkers except the trendy craft crowd
+1
Looks to me like ONE pc beer drinker vowed to quit. Hardly seems like a news item to me.
I used to drink Sam Adams and even went to tour the brewery in Jamaica Plain but then they came out in support of abortion so no more SA.
One of my fave beers.
It’s the cheapest decent beer out there. Those cheap hipsters will be back
Yep, that's right in the PA Anthracite zone. I bet you can't find more than 10 Hillary signs in the entire county.

I have a feeling they’ll pick up more drinkers than they’ll lose.
Its good beer. Time to pick up a 12 pack.
This is great! I just bought a 6 of Yongling this morning!
It’s sold in most stores. Get the longnecks. Tastes better than the cans.
Thanks!!
Just ask for a Lager
“
it’s made in Massatwoshits.”
Where you live, the beer you get is probably brewed in the old Hudepohl brewery in Cincinnati.
Here’s to ya!!
I remember when I could buy a quart of Yuengling at Circle Liquor in Summers Pointm NJ for 60 cents.
I am going to start drinking more as a matter of principle..
It’s been my favorite beer for a while, but after hearing this, I’m going to overindulge like mad!
That reminds me I have to figure out how to change my screen name since I switched over to Yuengling.
Yuengling
It’s all I drink
“Some fans of the beer were quick to retaliate Wednesday”
Some? Is that about three?
