More was on the line than just North American bragging rights when Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal gave Canada a 3-2 win over the U.S. in the Olympic ice hockey finals.
A case of beer was also up for grabs in a friendly wager between the country's leaders.
President Barack Obama followed through on his hockey bet with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper by sending case of Molson Canadian north of the border.
Had the United States won, Obama requested a case of Pennsylvania-brewed Yuengling. The Pottsville, Pa. brewery is not only America's oldest beer maker but also the President’s brew of choice.
For good measure Obama tossed in an extra case of his favorite beer to go along with Harper’s Molson.
Been having crazy Yuengling/Beer syncs lately (even though I don't drink). Might be because Osiris was so fond of beer, being the god of beer and all. It doesn't help that my roommates are in the process of brewing their own beer.
Took a picture of a case with this same image in a grocery store to show to a friend:
B(ock) B(eer)=22=11:11. The goat is representative of Capricorn/Saturn/Osiris/Obama. The Y is an inverted symbol of Saturn and a 21 (Or, as StrangEye pointed out in the comments, the symbol for jupiter, which I too see here. I've read before that the jupiter and saturn symbols are basically interchangeable):
Yuengling's traditional mascot is the Eagle (Zeus/Jupiter/21):

tommy,
personally, I see the Jupiter symbol in that Yuengling "Y" (the name Yuengling is the anglicanized form of the germanic "JUNGling")
J for jupiter
Y stylized to the Jupiter symbol.
Make sense?
Where you might find something interesting is by looking at POTTSVILLE, PA @ google maps.
You'll find interesting names such as "St.Clair" and "Palo Alto".
In Pottsville, DG Yuengling is on the corner of PROGRESS ST and MAHANTONGO (which means "the place of plenty of meat to eat")
~SE~
Ride that goat of initiation!
What's with this:
"Yuengling's traditional mascot is the Eagle (Zeus/Jupiter/21)"
I guess they had it before Budweiser, but c'mon, is that the best logo for a male-oriented company? Zeus & Ganymede. Well, it is Aquarian I guess :/ sign o' the times.
