Yuengling Expanding?

Yuengling expanding!

At 7 p.m. July 14, the Port Carbon Zoning Hearing Board will review, and possibly approve, a variance application submitted by Yuengling concerning the expansion project, Herndon said.

"It's a dimensional variance for height," according to Charles M. Ross, director of the Schuylkill County Planning and Zoning Commission.

If the borough's zoning board approves that variance, then the county planning and zoning commission will review the company's subdivision and land development plans, Ross said.

"We're awaiting Port Carbon's decision on the zoning permit before we'll proceed," Ross said Wednesday.

The Yuengling Beer Company at Mill Creek was built in 2000 and started production in September 2001.

Seaman said demand for Yuengling beer has encouraged the company to think of ways to produce more.

"We're trying to keep up with demand. It's been obvious over the last couple of years that demand out of this plant has increased to the point where pretty much on a weekly and monthly basis, we require more beer. We've been talking about for the last year or so and decided in the last six months to go through with this," Seaman said.



Please let this mean I don't have to go out East to get Yuengling!
