    Yuengling is pronounced "Ying Ling" - it is anything BUT Korean.

    It is actually VERY much German - I think it means "Young Man" or something to that effect.

    Just looked in my book "Yuengling - A History of America's Oldest Brewery" and I couldn't find the translation easily (it's in there, I know cuz I remember from when I read the book the first time) - but I did find some interesting facts: Yuengling opened it's brewery in Pottsville, PA in 1829, thus making it the country's oldest continuous brewery.

    The original brewer, David Gottlieb Yuengling (D.G. - it has these initials on the packaging) was born in 1806 in Aldingen, a small, rural village located along the Neckar River in Southwest Germany's kingdom of Wurttemberg.

    Back then, the political entity of "Germany" had not yet formed, so most "Germans" felt more closely aligned to smaller "city-states," regions, or principalities under the political control of different rulers.

    So that's the history lesson for today - the more you know!! :laugh:
    Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee

    I had a cooler full of Goose Island at Oswegofest, last week, and one of the guys from Peoria had a cooler full of Yuengling. It was a good day.

    My mom's side of the family is PA-Dutch. Several months ago, I was checking out some genealogy work that a cousin of hers has been working on, and guess which surname makes a couple appearances? Korean my heinie.

    I stand corrected...went back and looked at the genealogy again, and it appears our branch of the Juengling (Yuengling, Yingling, etc) family arrived in the colonies around 1710...so if we're related at all to the beer Yuenglings, it would be via Germany...but my family came from the Palatinate region, which neighbors Wuerttemberg, so I suppose it's possible. Neat stuff, I hadn't bothered to look into that before.

    that's correct ..... take it from a local "coal cracker"..... i live close to the brewery..if you're ever in the area... stop by the the brewery.... they give a great tour of the facility and even better free tasting of their beers in their wonderful German style "beer cellar".... it's a great time! **** Yuengling"s sister hosts it many times and is a really fun character.....if you want a good laugh.... check....."coalspeak.com" the dictionary of the anthracite region.... it's a riot .... also on you tube ,,,,, look up" heynabonics".... it's really funny.... thanks! rev.ray
