Yuengling Ice Cream Began Production This Week
At a special new conference this morning at the Leiby's Dairy Inc., Tamaqua, Yuengling Ice Cream President, and Rob Bohorad, the Chief Operating Officer, announced that because of an overwhelming response, they have begun production this week.
Production was not suppose to begin until March.
The first batches of ice cream are expected to hit the shelves in major grocery stores by mid-February. Weis and Acme were both mentioned as locations.
The suggested retail price will be $5.49 to $5.99 per quart
Ten all-natural flavors of ice cream are being produced for their first run
Vanilla, Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Black and Tan (chocolate and caramel), Vanilla Fudge Chunk with Pretzels, Espresso Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chocolate Marshmallow, Root Beer Float, and Mint Chocolate Chip.
At the state-of-the-art facility, they will be able to make 40 quarts of ice cream per minute, 14,000 quarts per day, and 100,000 quarts in the initial 10 day run.
Yuengling ice cream initially was in operation from 1920-1985. Yuengling introduced ice cream to supplement the brewery's revenue during prohibition.
Production stopped in 1985 when no successor to the then-president Frederick "Fritz" Yuengling could be identified.
The new president, David Yuengling, is the son of Fritz.

Schuylkill County Weather Forecast
By: Monsoon Mike
Tuesday will be a generally dreary, grey day with some light rain, but nothing too heavy like this past weekend's event. Temperatures will still be generally on the mild side and deep into the 40s to low 50s.
I'm still debating whether or not we see any wintry precipitation Wednesday as temperatures begin to drop and as mentioned the past few days. If anything, if we did, as it would be more in the way of later Wednesday as our next system is trending slower and warmer. Again, this would just be a nuisance event at most late Wednesday into early Thursday, but as you know, it's those "nuisance" events that wind up causing the 40 car interstate pileups as we've seen happen as of late. I'll keep you posted.
Beyond that, it looks like we gradually continue our downward trend of more wintry weather and by the weekend, it looks like we may be back into the freezer, although not as historically brutal as last week but rather more in the way of typical January weather.
