You know how much I love Yuengling...well...I got a call from one of the Yuengling sisters and we talked beer!!

Pretty cool that Jen Yuengling called me the other day while I was on the air...

Pretty cool that her driver's license says Jen Yuengling...

We talked about all kinds of stuff... like how she can work so closely with her family for so many years, how you keep a business around for 190 years, the new Yuengling Hotel that is being built here in Tampa, how she and her sisters came up with the new Golden Pilsner and just how Tampa is the second home to Yuengling.

And she told me something pretty cool that I didn't even know was coming in 2020!

Check out the interview with Jen.... and thanks so much for supporting Yuengling and loving it as much as I do!
