@burghbeersnob @yuengling_beer Dude, Yuengling is from PottsVILLE.

@burghbeersnob It's ok. Both cities are in eastern PA, so you were close (ish).I guess it's easy to screw the two up? Kudos to the commonwealth for having two eerily similar town names. Maybe I was caught up in the excitement that I almost had a big historical connection. Hey, Wikipedia is editable.

It's either that or this incident stems from the time last September when my girlfriend and I were on our way to someones wedding in the eastern side of the commonwealth. I was deathly sick with some form of strep throat. Almost to the point where I had to give up driving for the day. During my sickly delusions I remember going under a highway exit sign for either Pottsville or Pottstown. As of right now, I can honestly say I have no idea which. I was very ill.
I do remember my first inclination was that I was close to the brewery or at least I was in delusional sick land. Hilariously, I still don't know which town I was closest to. Irony is a beautiful part of life. A good thing is that I don't have to feel bad about missing out on visiting Yuengling because there's a 50 percent chance I was nowhere near it.
I'm still not devoid of ideas! John F. Reynolds was from Lancaster. Lancaster Brewing Company should have first priority on that, but Yuengling could get away with that as well. Last I checked, Lancaster doesn't have a brew in its lineup named for Reynolds. There's only one Lancaster in Pennsylvania! Geez I need a Black and Tan.
