SPORTSTERS HAPPY HOUR

We were out on the town in Chester County Pennsylvania at a great spot called Sportsters. This bar & grille is located in Pottstown and is a great place to catch your favorite sporting events on any of their thirty flat screen TVs! We were there on May 8th, enjoying what was left of our seasonal Bock Beer. Yuengling fans were surprised and excited to see that the Bock was still available. Enjoy it while it lasts! Everyone had a great time at this Friday evening happy hour. Yuengling fans got some cool tee shirts as giveaway prizes and a few lucky patrons even walked away with Philadelphia Phillies tickets! Thank you to everyone who came out to raise a pint with us as Sportsters Bar & Grille.

YUENGLING DAY

The annual Yuengling Day at Hidden Valley Golf Course in Pine Grove, PA was a success this past weekend! Golfers from all over traveled to play 18 holes at this scenic course that is tucked away in the Schuylkill County country side. The event was open to the public. Players signed up to participate in the pro shop; they then got to choose a Yuengling hat or golf towel as a sign up prize. Golfers enjoyed complimentary Yuengling all day long at the beer wagon that the brewery had set up. The draught selection included Premium, Lager, and Light Lager. In addition to the draught beer, we made sure we had a team out on the course to deliver cold Yuengling to players all day long. Participants also had a chance to win Yuengling prizes while on the course. There were prizes for closest to the pin, longest drive, and closest to the line on select holes.

We had a great turnout for this year’s event. Heavy rain showers in the afternoon may have cut some players’ rounds short, but it certainly didn't dampen anyone’s spirits. Thank you to Hidden Valley Golf Course for having us, and to everyone who contributed to the success of year’s event.
