FOX Report w/ Shepard Smith

Love Yuengling like I do?

Wish we could get it here in Columbus?

Want to tour America's Oldest Brewery?

Watch FOX Report tonight at 7 and see Palestra.net's Summer Tour as they tour America's Oldest Brewery in Pottsville, PA. *drool

From Palestra.net:

Also known as "cereal replacement drink." Don't toss out the cheerios just yet, Yuengling only branded their brews as cereal during the Prohibition. Fortunately for us, near beer is now real beer and I'd recommend the light lager. Delicious.

Yuengling, founded in 1829, is America's Oldest Brewery. If you aren't familiar, it's a regional brewer with emphasis on the east coast.

Today, we spoke with Dick Yuengling about his family business. He's the fifth generation to own the family company. When the sixth generation takes over, it won't be Yuengling & Son any longer. Dick has four daughters!

Interesting beer trivia:
-It takes an extra two hours to brew light beers (burns more sugar)
-24-28 days from brew to bottle
-Pottsville plant uses 300,000 gallons of water each day
-Yuengling means "young man" in German

To catch the real story on how the economy and young drinking trends are affecting the beer industry - watch Fox Report with Shepard Smith Wednesday night between 7 - 8 p.m.
