PSU TAILGATE

Yuengling and TailgateHaven.com sponsored a special tailgate event in Happy Valley this weekend. There were over 50 people in attendance including the TailgateHaven.com crew and several folks from Yuengling. Miller's Tailgate Crew were very hospitable hosts and great tailgaters! The weather was great and many tailgate games were being played throughout the day, including the Yuengling Ladder Golf event. Everyone had a great time, and the other tailgaters around this event even came by to see what the big fuss was all about. Fans enjoyed Yuengling Light Lager and received some cool Yuengling giveaways to remember the day by. The outcome of the PSU - Ohio State match up was less than favorable for fans dressed in blue and white, but overall the event was a success.

ATLANTA BEV. GUITAR FINALS

The Yuengling Martin Guitar program came to a close in the Atlanta, GA market at an exciting finale event recently. The program consisted of 40 promotions held over an 8 week period all over the Atlanta area. The finalists from each event were invited to compete at the Tabernacle before The Used concert. Finalists got the VIP treatment at this event. Everyone who competed received a Yuengling prize pack, and enjoyed free Yuengling, great food, and a complimentary ticket to The Used concert. DJ Knox from our radio partner Project 9-6-1 did a great job hosting the event. The Used took some time out of their night and came down to kick off the competition for us. It was clear that these players were the best as the contest was a close one. When it was time to name a winner, it was Austen Shantz who came out on top and walked away with the Custom Yuengling Martin Guitar. The runner up, named Michael, was awarded a Yuengling rotating pub sign for his efforts. Thank you to everyone who participated in this exciting promotion. Enjoy the pictures below.
