The 2016 election cycle has been brutal, destroying friendships, business contracts, and marriages. But, now, the most significant relationship, the one between a man and his beer of choice, has become strained.
Yuengling CEO triggered Democrats and liberals for endorsing Donald Trump. And Donald’s son, Eric, is gloating about it on social media.
“Our guys are behind your father,” the beer company’s owner Richard Yuengling Jr. said to the Reading Eagle. “We need him in there.”
He continued to push for the Republican nominee by telling the paper that hardworking families and small businesses would thrive under his administration. Eric Trump thanked him for his kind words on Twitter.
Thank you to Dick Yuengling for an amazing tour of the oldest brewery in the U.S! @Yuengling_Beer #PottsvillePA #MAGA pic.twitter.com/XrGVbbOiI3

With their righteous indignation, liberals vowed to give up on America’s oldest brewery and never pour the alcoholic beverage down their throats again, instead choosing much more bland mass produced beers.
@EricTrump I will never drink another goddamn ounce of @Yuengling_Beer as long as I live. Many others I know will do the same.
