    Carlisle 2008 - Friday Yuengling Brewery Tour

    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.

    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.

    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.
