Pottsville, Pennsylvania · Wednesday, January 02, 1991The Cave for Chilling the Brew is Here, Used to be wide Open.
For a Few Years they Parked a Tractor Trailer
in the Entrence, My Guess to Prevent Explorers & Partiers from Using it.
I believe they Recently Sealed it Shut
there is a Rumor the cave goes all the way to Yuengling's
Cave, But
impossible as The cave would need to head Downward, Then Make a complete U Turn.
Head Under Streets & Come Back up Several Blocks Down.
Though Caves & Pipelines were Supposely used in the County During Prohabition to Get their Product to the Speakeasy's i'm Not sure Who Did & Who Didn't Skirt the Laws
