Extra Credit Questions

Joe didn't beat you to the punch, but you are absolutely correct, Anita. I had never heard of the beer until I met Joseph about three years ago. I think that's all he drinks - in the alcoholic category. I stumbled upon the history of it in the newest issue of Preservation magazine, published by The National Trust for Historic Preservation; and the brewery is still in business.

Several months ago, Joe was complaining because he left some of the Yuengling six-packs in his pick-up truck overnight, and his thirsty neighborhood bears punched holes in the cans to get to the beer. We don't have that problem down South with critters stealing our mint juleps... And the Tennessee bears go after the hard stuff.

Anita, see if you can purchase Yuengling in your part of the U.S. of A, and I'll send you money for a six-pack - if you are not a Lemonade Lucy tee-totaler.

I forgot to add that, when Joe first spoke of Yuengling beer to me, I was sure that it was an imported beer from somewhere in Holland or Scandanavia. I was very surprised to find that it was an American brew. Does anyone know the country of origin for the Yuengling name?
