I didn't think they were dissing it- they did say it was their choice to be the next Great American Beer:

<<Distinguishing characteristics: "America's Oldest Brewery" (founded 1829) churns out a crisp lager with a bit more bite than your average blue-collar beer.

Vital signs: The sixth-largest commercial brewer in America is still owned by a guy named Yuengling, an Anglicization of Jüngling. (Brewery founder David Jüngling immigrated from Germany in 1823 and started his company in 1829.) Yuengling is our choice to become the next great American beer.>>

Unless they mean that sarcastically... hmm... darn you, Salon! Now I'm confused. Whatever. I like Yuengling.

Just dont visit their brewery if your car doesnt have a good set of working breaks. Pottsville has some pretty steep hills if I can remember correctly (I was much younger). A pretty neat town, my brother referred to it as the 'town that time forgot'.

Anyone ever hear of Centralia, PA? I went on a coal mine tour once in Ashland. PA and they explained to us how it is burning underground and will do so for the foreseeable future. Pretty interesting stuff, as it was once a 'prospering' town.
