SUNSET BAY

Yuengling was out at the Sunset Bay Beach Club located along the shore of Lake Erie in Chautauqua County New York. The event was held on June 18th and it was an excellent summer evening to enjoy Yuengling on the beach! Patrons enjoyed Lager and Light Lager cans on special, while listening to live music by John Valby. The Yuengling crew was spreading the word about our big summer program, where one luck fan will win a custom Yuengling Orange County Chopper! Beach Club patrons had the opportunity to play Yuengling trivia for OCC hats and tees and also enter to win a Yuengling OCC mirror and an OCC jacket as grand prizes for the evening.

The Sunset Bay Beach Club is a great place to enjoy Yuengling while taking in the view of the picturesque beaches along Lake Erie. Thank you to Certo Brothers Distributing for making this a successful event.

PBW BREW CONTEST

After a few hours at Doc Watson's, Lord Chesterfield and his court moved over to The Draught Horse in the heart of the Temple campus to close out the final Friday of Philly Beer Week. Yuengling and Draught Horse hosted a home brew contest in which contenders signed up in advance and brought their best home brew for a panel of Yuengling judges to taste. Judges included members of our Yuengling sales team, Lead Brewer John Callahan, and Lord Chesterfield!

While the judges did their best to determine a winner of the home brew competition, patrons at the bar enjoyed Yuengling specials on Lager, Light Lager, Black & Tan, Porter, and Lord Chesterfield Ale. Patrons enjoying Chesterfield Ale got to keep the glass and a lucky few were awarded Chetty tee shirts for being loyal to the brand! Lord Chesterfield made his way around the bar to talk with fans, and advise those who sought his wisdom. The Draught Horse did an excellent job hosting this event and we thank everyone who came out to enjoy the evening!
