If you work in the hospitality business here in the Tampa Bay Area...there is help available for you from my friends at Yuengling.

You guys know how much I love Yuengling beer....not only for the taste, but also because when times are tough, they step in....and they focus their efforts in our community.  Tampa is their second home and they love giving back to those in need.  The pandemic has hit those in the hospitality business hard and those that serve Yuenlging beer are Yuengling's family too.

That is why Yuengling announced a new partnership with the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association (FRLA) to support its COVID-19 relief efforts and the thousands of impacted Florida hospitality workers.

Through a commitment of $20,000, Yuengling will work alongside FRLA and its charitable partners to provide emergency funding to Florida hospitality workers, bartenders and waitstaff facing significant hardships during this pandemic.

I talked to Jen Yuengling about this new partnership.  We talked about how those in need of assistance can get the information they need and how you can help too!

Jen also said that the new Flight will be in cans soon - which I'm super excited about so I can take to the beach and on the boat now!
