PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – As most of Philadelphia awaits Aaron Nola’s second career opening-day start Thursday, the Phillies’ ace has added another achievement to his résumé – an ambassador of cold ones. Nola partnered with D.G. Yuengling & Son on Monday as one of the first active MLB beer brand ambassadors, the company said.
“Yuengling holds a special spot in my heart,” Nola said. “I had my first Yuengling Lager after being draft by Philadelphia and I haven’t looked back. The fact that America’s Oldest Brewery is family owned and operated is important to me as I value family over everything.
