I suppose they had to open a factory brewery in Pottsville to keep up with all the drunken coal miners back then. I never heard anything on Yuengling until a couple years ago when it became popular for a short time. Lately, I've been drinking Mike's hard lemmon aid or Rolling Rock. I'm really a hard liquor fan. When it comes to OP's beer, I'll drink anything if it's cold enough.

I think Yuengling started their brewery in 1829. The beer is very good; I've been drinking this brand for quite awhile.
[QUOTE=mainstay]Yeap, seems like the Russians want their cake & eat it too. When they had a "break-away republic", they called them terrorist & we supported them. Now when Georgia has the samething......Russia supports the rebels! There just flexing their new found muscles. (Oil Money) Only thing, I think we have U.S. military advisers there. This could get serious
IF some American's get hurt or killed.
I am not surprised the Soviets (I've NEVER called 'em Russians) have used a wide variety of weapons against the much smaller, more conventionally equipped sovereign Georgia. The Soviets have established a blockade of Georgia in the Black Sea, used strategic bombers, and ballistic missiles against the much smaller, extremely less armed country.
This is an opportunity for the Soviets to show off the above listed weapons and their ability to utilize them. For over a decade, this country was a "has been"; now, with their coffers strengthened with petrodollars, they have rebuilt their air force, navy, and within the last year, resumed strategic bomber recon flights in the artic (ala Cold War..).
Screw 'em!
