October 27, 201312 yr Mrs. S and I had just left the soccer match at USF. We turned on the 30th Street, at the southwest corner of the campus, and faced a gaggle of police and emergency vehicles at the Yuengling Brewery. When we went by, we saw a slew of fire trucks in front of the building. Probably won't know until tomorrow the extent of the damage to the storage building. TAMPA — Police and fire crews went to the Yuengling Brewery shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday following a report the building was “engulfed in flames.” Tampa Fire Rescue officials said workers in the building at 11111 N. 30th St. were evacuated safely.

October 27, 201312 yr PLEASE DO NOT TELL RTS ABOUT THIS!! I don't know if he's strong enough to take the shock. :scared:

October 28, 201312 yr Doesn't make sense, but somethings in life dont. Lucky for me I usually keep a couple cases on stand-by at the house. Had a few yesterday during the Bengal game.
October 28, 201312 yr Reading that page on their site makes it sound like they moved up from Florida and South from Pennsylvania.

And they'd have to find a Kentucky distributing company when they finally decided to do so (though that's hardly a problem).
