Happy Halloween from Yuengling!
Please Enjoy Responsibly.

1960's EAGLES VISIT

Yuengling hosted a group of champions last week at America's Oldest Brewery! The surviving members of the 1960 Philadelphia Eagles football team took a trip to Pottsville, PA. The team met up in Hershey and traveled to America's Oldest Brewery for a private tour and lunch with owner Dick Yuengling, and other members of the Yuengling Team. The group totaled 14 players, and 3 of the team members are in the NFL Hall of Fame! Everyone who came out had a great time seeing the sites of the brewery. After the tour they headed to Maroon's Sports Bar & Grill for lunch. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this successful outing at the Yuengling Brewery!
