We brought you details of Dick Yuengling’s comment that he will be building a new brewery to keep up with demand, but he will likely not build it in PA. Now state officials are stepping up their game to get Dick to reconsider. This from Pennlive:
“Yuengling makes a point, but the good news is Pennsylvania will have some time to work on him,” Black said. “We are overall the most competitive in the Northeast states. We have a good water supply needed for beer making, along with a history of beer making versus other [Southern] states that are better known for bourbons and moonshine.”
Dick Yuengling confirmed that at least one state economic development official already had reached out to him in wake of his initial comments about building outside Pennsylvania.
“If they want to talk to me, fine,” Yuengling said. “The Corbett administration has been doing a better job.”
And at least one western Pennsylvania landowner is offering his industrial-zoned tract as the future home of the next Yuengling brewery.
John Michael Horanic of Westmoreland County said he has 43 acres zoned for light industrial use, bubbling with artesian springs, accessible to all utilities, and just waiting for what he called a “green use” like brewing Yuengling beer.
