Bar necessity

New York, June 14, 1999 v32 i23 p14(1)

Bar necessary: is long-lost Yuengling beer - once a local cult favorite - returning to New York? (return of popular beer from Pottsville, PA brewery and release of filmmaker James  Bartolomeo's documentary `From Pottsville: The Story of America's Oldest Brewery') Tom Gogola.

Abstract: New York City residents can look forward again to the availability of Yuengling beer. The Pottsville, PA brewery withdrew its supply in 1993 when regional demand outpaced supply, and Pennsylvania customers felt shortchanged. A new plant is scheduled to open in Mill Creek, PA to accommodate the demands of various markets, especially New York City. Filmmaker James Bartolomeo made a documentary about the brewery, its history, customer loyalty, and why the product disappeared from New York bars.
