Yuengling kind of endorses Trump, now enjoy these hateful Tweets about it

I can’t help see the eagle ripping apart #Drumpf‘s head where the barrel is. @Photoshop #MakeItHappen @Yuengling_Beer pic.twitter.com/6nqP8iqvjW

Because I have sworn an unbreakable blood oath to be a part of the “liberal media,” I must declare Donald Drumpf to be bad — like classic-political-horn-dogger-and-scandal-pirate Warren-G.-Harding bad (not this Warren G; he’s good), but what does it say about Hillary Clinton that she might lose to him? Either way, people have an opinion about it and never has that opinion been so filled with an uncompromising hate and devotion.

Last week, Drumpf’s son Eric Drumpf toured the D.G. Yuengling and Son’s brewery in Pottsville, Pa., on a campaign stop. E Drumpf noted how high taxes, over-regulation and Obamacare are making things difficult for American businesses like Yuengling to grow. According to an article on the Reading Eagle (a news outlet for Reading Pennsylvania, Berks County and surrounding areas):

“My father’s going to make it a lot easier for business to function,” [E Drumpf] declared. “We’re going to do it right here in the U.S.”

Dick Yuengling welcomed Drumpf, thanking him for taking the time to visit the brewery.

“Our guys are behind your father,” Yuengling said. “We need him in there.”

That endorsement seems to have galvanized at least a few beer drinkers to start spouting off endorsements of love or ranting promises of eternal boycott to what is considered the largest craft brewery in America by the Brewer’s Association definition. Below are some of the angrier opinions in Tweet form. Granted there were a zillion Tweets endorsing Drumpf and Yuengling for the visit and support (check those out here), but what fun would it be to embed those? 

Your Monday hate tweets

@EricTrump I will never drink another goddamn ounce of @Yuengling_Beer as long as I live. Many others I know will do the same.

Looks like I’ve had my last Yuengling. https://t.co/L40YuaGEeo

.@Yuengling_Beer came out in support of Drumpf. I wonder if their business will drop 59% like Drumpf’s hotel bookings.

SHOCKED Yuengling supports Drumpf.

.@Yuengling_Beer – are you guys really Drumpf supporters? Say it ain’t so. I guess I need to find a new favorite beer.

— Alex Kaplan (@jalexander) October 26, 2016

@Yuengling_Beer Too bad you’ve made your beer political by cavorting with the Drumpfs. No more Yuengling for this native Pennsylvanian.

— TrumpCrafts (@TrumpCrafts) October 24, 2016

Broke? Trying to save money? Want a beer? Grab a @PBR. Or a @Gansettbeer. No need to chug @Yuengling_Beer Trumpism.https://t.co/og4hzeCNjd

I just found out the owner of @Yuengling_Beer is a Drumpf supporter and I’m devastated I have to throw out the 6 pack in my fridge now.

— Scott GHOULdzahler (@shgeldz) October 26, 2016

Yuengling endorsing Drumpf pisses me off. It’s 1 of my favorite beers, but “people before profits” I say, so until they change, they lost me.

— NUFF$AID ? (@nuffsaidNY) October 26, 2016

@EricTrump Thanks I’ll add @Yuengling_Beer to my boycott list that already includes @Nordstrom and all Drumpf branded products and services

— GeGe The Gecko (@real_JustSayin) October 24, 2016

@EricTrump@Yuengling_Beer careful, it’s the working men and women who drink Yuengling. I’d bet the Drumpf boys haven’t even drank a 6 pack!

Regularly drive 90 mile from KY to OH to get @Yuengling_Beer but supporting racist, misogynist nut-job Drumpf is the end of the line for me

— Todd Bird (@Tbird215) October 27, 2016

Objectively, Yuengling is the perfect beer to endorse Drumpf; tasteless, offensive to all senses, and unwelcome in 21st century society.

.@Yuengling_Beer I was a lifelong Yuengling drinker I mean LIFE. LONG. Will never touch it again, consider it poison https://t.co/1AloxdsncV
