Yuengling Tour & Picnic – 2013

wp_Yeungling-Tour-line-up-0133-wID-and-photoJuly 6, 2013

On Saturday July 6th, at 7:15am a team of 7 cars strong started rolling out of Harleysville towards Pottsville, PA.  We drove the beautiful scenic back roads of Pennsylvania, and after a quick pit stop at the Hamburg Wawa, we were rolling again.  During our two and a half hour trip other DVC members join in.  As we reached the Yuengling parking lot, we had grown to 12 cars strong!

Our private tour of the brewery was a huge success, thanks to Lisa our “hot shot” tour guide.  We learned a lot about the history of Yuengling as well as the production process of their beer.  At the end of the tour, Lisa switched her roll from tour guide to bartender and we enjoyed some samples of Yuengling beer.

After saying goodbye to our hosts at the Yuengling Brewery, we started our trip back to Harleysville for our 4th of July picnic.  Our trip back was a non-stop two hour journey in extremely hot and humid conditions.  Needless to say everyone was ready for food and “refreshments”.  By the time the food was ready to serve more people had shown up and the party was in full swing.  There was a lot of talking and laughing as everyone enjoyed each other’s company.

Eva and Adam would like to send out our deepest thanks to everyone that attended our event.  A special thanks to Tom and Jamie Rippert for helping us prepare the beautiful routes we took to and from Pottsville.  Without them our trip would have had much more twists and turns in the road!
