At the Yuengling table, fans had their choice of Light Lager, Lord Chesterfield Ale, Dark Brewed Porter, and Original Black & Tan. The Light Lager was the first to go and lines were moving steady all day long at Yuengling. Thank you to our wholesale partner Northeast Eagle for making this another successful year at Split Rock!

CHOPPER GIVEAWAY

Yuengling Awards 2 Orange County Choppers™, donates over $50,000 to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.

Pottsville, PA, November 5, 2010 – D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery, recently held an event at Orange County Chopper™ headquarters to award one consumer and one wholesaler sales representative the prize of a lifetime.

From May through August, 2010, throughout the 13 states where Yuengling is sold, Yuengling and OCC™ fans 21 and older entered to become semi-finalists for a custom Yuengling Chopper, made by OCC™. Over 38,000 consumers entered the program via text-to-win format. 95 were randomly selected to become semi-finalists, and along with their guests, were treated to a weekend celebration at OCC™ Headquarters in Newburgh, NY, on October 23rd, 2010.

In addition, 30 wholesaler personnel and guests were invited to attend the event, based upon sales merit. A second, identical chopper would eventually be awarded to one lucky sales representative.

“The affiliation with Orange County Choppers™ certainly garnered a great deal of attention all summer,” stated Lou Romano, Marketing Manager for Yuengling. “Although only one semi-finalist and one sales representative would win a chopper, the goal was to give everyone a memorable weekend, and also to help benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.”

During the program, the Yuengling Brewery and several wholesalers committed to donate a portion of their sales to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. Radio stations also organized local events to raise money, and a raffle for various Yuengling memorabilia was held at the OCC™ Event.

“With the help of many, we were able to raise over $53,500 to help benefit a cause we all believe in,” commented Romano.

The evening culminated when Dick Yuengling, president and owner of Yuengling, randomly selected Eric Ward of Mid State Beverage (Williamsport, PA) as the wholesaler winner, and Michael Euless, of Franklin, PA, as the lucky consumer winner of the custom choppers.

“Awarding those choppers was an exciting moment for me, and I really enjoyed spending time with everyone who came,” said Dick Yuengling. “It was a once in a lifetime event!”

HITTING THE TRAIL 2010

The 2nd Annual Preston Silver Eagle horseback ride took place at the Peddicord Family Ranch this October. The Peddicord family is a Yuengling wholesale partner in West Virginia, and each year they invite employees, Yuengling friends, and neighboring wholesalers out for a guided horseback ride in the hills of West Virginia. This year they hosted a group of around 50. The weather was excellent for this outdoor event that features games and music in addition to the ride. Attendees enjoyed a variety of food at the barbecue cookout along with a great selection of Yuengling beer throughout the day. This annual event is a great way for key Yuengling supporters and retailers in the Preston County area to get together and enjoy this great state! Thank you to the Peddicord family for once again hosting this unique event, we look forward to riding again next year!
