Known as �America�s Oldest Brewery;� D. G. Yuengling Son; Inc.; of Pottsville has been in continuous operation since 1829. Since its start; Yuengling has been prudently managed by the Yuengling family. Overcoming the 14 dry years of Prohibition; Yuengling persevered due in part to the ingenuity and creativity of its owners and loyalty of its consumers. Unlike many of the regional brewers who were forced to close their doors over time; Yuengling found a niche for itself beginning in the late 1980s. With the introduction of Yuengling Lager and Black Tan; the brand became a sensation in and around Philadelphia. Popularity of the beverages led to Yuengling being distributed in 14 states; making it the largest American-owned brewery. Through more than 220 historic images; D.G. Yuengling Son; Inc.; tells the story of this legendary American company.

Review
10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. I live with this book. It is a masterful work.By S. SequeiraIf you were (in a word) "stunned" by the work "Apollo" by George Balanchine; or works like "Agon"; you will want to own and cherish this masterpiece of a book. This is ballet as literature. Mr. Balanchine elevated ballet to the level of literature.The author dug deeply and with sincere devotion to the work that Mr. Balanchine and Mr. Stravinsky produced during their collaborations; and it is loaded with treasures that I cannot even go into here because there are too many.You may at first be put-off by the price; but I must say that once you have the book open and in your hands and are skimming-through the knowledge accumulated by this generous scholar who has provided us all with materials we would never had access to otherwise you will see that each and every penny you spent on this tome will have been well spent.The book can be read in a light manner once through; or you can carry it around with you and live with it (as I have done) having it by your bedside; while watching and studying the works on video DVD; and/or while listening to Mr. Stravinskys compositions.When I was a dancer during the last part of Mr. Balanchines working life I would have given blood to have had my hands on this book. I had to rely mostly on oral-tradition of transmission of knowledge within the dance and theatre community of artists to gain only a molecule of what is related in this book for you by the author.And if you enjoyed this book you will also enjoy the DVD I have inserted as a product link here.Felia Doubrovska Remembered - From Diaghilevs Ballets Russes to Balanchines School of American BalletWorks like these are few and far between and you should get them before they become limited in availability (it is an investment) because they will enhance the joy and quality of your life and expand your knowledge of the arts if you are an student of music or a dancer or simply a lover of the arts in general.If you wish to delve deeper in this arena I must strongly and enthusiastically point you in the direction of both The George Balanchine Foundation The George Balanchine Trust: the work they are doing is of the highest standards and they should know. You will find like-minded individuals performing scholarly endeavor there that are noble to say the least.I cherish this book; the works described in it; and the artistic collaborations described in priceless detail here. I became a student of dramatic literature in the university for many years no doubt due to the impact and enlightenment that Balanchines "Apollo" had in my life when I was a young dancer. Mr. Balanchines vast genius; and the genius of Mr. Stravinsky; opened my eyes and mind - and I shrink at the concept of what the quality of my life would have been like without the works of these two men; their collaborations; and all of the other works of art that this vortex of creativity pulled into my life enriching it.I thank the author of this book here. Please do not miss his work!These attached works (below) should not be missed if you have not yet already seen and studied them:Balanchine: A Biography: With a New EpilogueBalanchineChoreography By Balanchine / Tzigane; Andante from Divertimento No 15; The Four Temperaments; Selections from Jewels; Stravinsky Violin ConcertoAnd; currently; Ms. Farrell is carrying on the strict tradition and vision at The Suzanne Farrell Ballet:Suzanne Farrell - Elusive MuseHolding On to the Air: An Autobiography(Ms. Farrell is an American National Treasure in my opinion; and anybody seriously studying the work of Mr. Balanchine and the work that Mr. Stravinsky did with him would by wise to listen to each and every thing she has to say regarding them in microsopy: after all; she was there!)You will also enjoy Ms Bentlys beautiful book:Winter Season: A Dancers Journal; with a new prefaceAnd; lastly; a book that should not be missed by dancers and any lovers of Mr. Balanchines works:Dance Is a Contact Sport (A Da Capo paperback)I hope you will enjoy these works and that they will enrich your life as much as they have enriched my own throughout the years; and that you will recommend this book and return to write your own review of it and your own observations here.
