Beer Drinkers Are Boycotting Yuengling After Its Billionaire Owner Endorses Trump
[Forbes] One of America’s wealthiest beermakers is in hot water after voicing support for Donald Trump. Dick Yuengling, the fifth-generation owner of America’s oldest brewery, gave Eric Trump a personal tour of his historic Pottsville, Penn. plant on Monday.
Brian Sims, one of Pennsylvania’s first openly gay state legislators, wrote a lengthy Facebook post criticizing the company. "D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. believes that an agenda that is anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-racial minority and anti-equality is best for them and that tells me all I need to know about what they think is best for their own customers," Sims wrote in the post on Wednesday, which he signed "a former customer of 17 years."
Fortunately, Yuengling recently began distribution in my area - guess I'll head across the street and buy a 12-pack. |
