Carlisle 2008 - Friday Yuengling Brewery Tour

GoinManta · 01-20-2008

As a special event for Friday at this years Carlisle

Thought this would be fun considering all those that leave for the Mid-west and New England with cases of Yuengling Black and Tan after Carlisle.

We (or at least I will) will have a private tour at 2PM

May 16th, 2008

Yuengling - Pottsville
5th & Mahantongo Streets
Pottsville, PA 17901

I will pay the $25 fee we only have room for up to 25 people.. but I think that will be plenty.

So I will plan to leave the Carlilse Fairgrounds at 12pm.. and arrive at the Yuengling plant at about 1:30 PM..

So if all of you coming in from the east, west or north want to route yourself through Pottsville and schedule yourself to be there around 1PM. It should be a fun time.

We will stop go to Hoss' Steakhouse in Carlisle on Friday Night.

Yeah, what about us? Since the vote for making GA a dry state ended 8,600,000 : 2 (Gene and me)

, I take every chance to go inside a brewery. Even if it means the extra 60 or 90 miles on Friday

Well I assumed you would be the ones that meet us at Carlisle and come up with us to the plant. Since you would be passing that way already.

jlthunder · 01-21-2008

Make sure your e-brakes are working. Pottsville is very hilly. Don't stay in Centralia too long or your tires will melt

.

BTW, yes they have a sampling room

There is a Cabela's located at Route PA 61 and I-78. Another nice place to stop.

jlthunder · 01-21-2008

Here are a couple of pictures of the tasting room.

jlthunder · 01-21-2008

Don't worry, the little one is drinking brich beer from the tap.

jlthunder · 01-21-2008

We teach them young up here in the north too!

GoinManta · 01-21-2008

Hmm... how many can Cabelas hold? On the way back? Maybe those of use going to the Yuengling tour can stop there for dinner instead.

About 5,000. The Cabella's on Rt. 78 is a sporting goods store the size of a small city.

jlthunder · 01-23-2008

They usually have some type of wild game on the menu in the eating area too.

GoinManta · 01-23-2008

So Hoss' on Route 11 in Carlilse is it then for Dinner

GoinManta · 02-03-2008

Just pinging it.. back up

GoinManta · 03-04-2008

OK.. just another bump.. need to see if we will have more than the 5 so far saying they will go to the Yuengling tour.

BTW. anyone else see the movie Beer League, looks like Yuengling was sponsor.. first movie I have seen thier logos and such at the bars in a movie

GoinManta · 03-25-2008

Charles

GoinManta · 04-01-2008

Giving this one a bump since we have about 25 showing for coming to Carlilse on Friday.. trying to get the numbers to match

GoinManta · 04-22-2008

OK... think this one got lost by everyone..

We have 35+ coming Friday, so I would like to see the numbers match on this poll

We only have room for about 20 at the tour..

I will be showing up on Friday but not in time for the tour!

BQS4 · 04-22-2008

I'll pass on the tour, rather look at and talk about Opels and old friends...

GoinManta · 04-22-2008

Well it is meant to be a cruise as well as a tour

saxybiker · 04-22-2008

We will be there Friday, but we are not coming on the tour. We will be bringing 3 people. Plan to do dinner and talking with Opel buddies.

MantAscona · 04-22-2008

We'll be there Friday, but not in time for the tour.

Duane

opelgtguy · 04-23-2008

Adam, one of his buddies from school, and I will be arriving "sometime" Friday - not in time for the tour though.
Rick

neuropel · 04-23-2008

Same here...I'll be in a caravan (like every other year) with some Ohio, PA, and even some midwest Opelers but we won't be getting there in time for a tour. Our tour and cruise is on the way to Carlisle! Our "traditional" breakfast is at a small turnpike exit (Donegal exit 91) where we gas up, bench race over a fastfood breakfast, and then hit the road en masse.

Bummer that this will likely be my last year for the caravan.

See you guys soon!

anastosmotors · 04-23-2008
