#6 Not exactly apolitical, though historically they just liked American presidents. From 2019:

Yuengling has a thing for presidents (especially Trump).

In 1933, Yuengling celebrated the end of Prohibition by shipping a truckload of “Winner Beer” beer to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

In 2010, Barack Obama claimed Yuengling was his favorite beer. He even included it in a political exchange with Canada.

In 2016, Dick Yuengling endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Chaos ensued.

In 2018, Yuengling hosted Eric Trump on a media-accompanied tour of the brewery. On the tour, he allegedly said to Eric Trump, “Our guys are behind your father. We need him in there.” Yikes.

It has been boycotted multiple times.

After word got out about Yuengling’s support of the Trump campaign, many Yuengling drinkers boycotted the brand, including Pennsylvania state representative Brian Sims.

Sims called out Trump’s “anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-racial minority and anti-equality agenda” in a Facebook post, saying: “I’m not normally one to call for boycotts but I absolutely believe that how we spend our dollars is a reflection of our votes and our values! … Goodbye Yuengling and shame on you. Sincerely, A former customer of 17 years!”

(Yuengling’s response? “[W]e survived Prohibition. We survived two world wars, when you couldn’t get any grain. We’ll be fine,” Dick Yuengling said in 2017.)

Another, unrelated boycott occurred in 2006, when a separate scandal alleged Yuengling was a union buster.

#7 whats up with the chinese name?

It's an Anglicized spelling of the German (Jüngling). Yuengling also has a brewery in Texas so I can buy it in grocery stores.

#8 "Anglicized"? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
