GREENBRIER PGA CLASSIC

Yuengling recently participated as a sponsor of the 1st Annual Greenbrier PGA Classic tournament in White Sulphur Springs, WV. PGA golfers from around the world traveled to West Virginia to compete in this Fed Ex points event at the Greenbrier Resort. Competitors included Stewart Applebee, Sergio Garcia, John Daily, Davis Love III, Jim Furyk and more!

The Greenbrier is an award winning resort founded in 1778 and actually has 4 championship golf courses on the property! Jim Justice acquired the resort in 2009 and felt that since the first lynx course in America was on the Greenbrier property, it was time to return to the grass roots of what made not only this resort famous but also to give back to the community. This event was also a great opportunity to show the rest of the world this hidden gem in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. Mr. Justice made sure that attendees of the event were entertained nightly by booking national music acts for a series of concerts throughout the event. Performances by Reba McIntyre, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, and Brad Paisley were enjoyed by all!

Attendees enjoyed Yuengling products throughout the 4 day event and we thank Mr. Justice for hosting!

SHAMROCK'S 7-30-10

Yuengling recently teamed up with Chef Tony at Shamrock's Ale House in Tampa, FL for a 5 star beer dinner event! Tony created a 4 course meal, incorporating Yuengling products into each dish. The first course was a green salad with Lord Chesterfield Ale vinaigrette dressing. Next he served Black & Tan shrimp with rice. The third course was BBQ ribs and chicken in Dark Brewed Porter sauce with corn on the cob. Finally, guests were treated to Lager pork tenderloin with apple stuffing. Each Yuengling product was sampled along with the matching dish.

Thank you to Shamrock's for hosting this event and to all of the Yuengling Tampa employees and consumers who attended. If you are a Yuengling fan in the Tampa, FL area, you can enjoy great food at Shamrock's anytime along with Yuengling drink specials!

80's BASH 2010

Yuengling was the Official Beer Sponsor of Buffalo's Largest 80's Bash held earlier this summer in Lancaster, New York. Attendees at this event dressed to the era, including big hair, mini skirts, stilettos, tight jeans. snap bracelets, and parachute pants. The event featured performances by 80's stars Tiffany and Sugar Hill Gang. There were also 80's dance contests, an 80's celebrity look alike contest, and much more to take everyone back in time for this one night party!

Traditional Lager was the beer of choice at this event. Lager was introduced by Yuengling in 1987, making it an appropriate selection for all in attendance! Part of the proceeds from this event went to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. JDRF is dedicated to finding a cure and this event certainly helped out a great cause.

Thank you to everyone who came out and to our wholesaler partner CH Wright. Enjoy the photos below.

BUFFALO BEER SOCIETY 7-12-10

The Buffalo Better Beer Society turned their focus to Yuengling for their recent monthly meeting. Members gathered at Gene McCarthy's Irish Pub in Buffalo, NY to enjoy Yuengling and discuss all things beer! The Yuengling crew from our wholesaler CH Wright was on hand to spread the word about the Orange County Chopper summer promotion and to give out samples. Members enjoyed Lager and Light Lager samples and got to play Yuengling trivia for OCC prizes! Those who knew the most about America's Oldest Brewery went home with Yuengling/OCC shirts and hats, one lucky winner even took home a framed poster of the Yuengling chopper! Members of the society also took this opportunity to enter to win a trip to the VIP party that Yuengling is hosting at Orange County Choppers headquarters in the fall.

Thank you to the Buffalo Better Beer Society for having us, and to Gene McCarthy's Irish Pub for hosting.
