At one point, I lived two towns over from the brewery. Never could acquire a taste for any of their beer and failed to understand its fairly widespread popularity. It's amazing that America's oldest brewery isn't in a more obvious location!

That area was a hotbed for ballplayers many years ago, not to mention its early place in football history. It's amazing how many players hail from so remote an area--even more remote over a century ago. Jack (Picus) Quinn was from Pottsville. Jake Daubert, although born in the same town as the Coveleskie boys, lived one town to the south. Joe Boley, two towns to the south. Gas House Gang member Chick Fullis was just to the west and Ron Northey two towns to the north. This is just a sampling, too.
