Earlier this week Yuengling wasn't being very helpful in letting Brad Walsh, who was physically assaulted by a truck driver delivering their product, know who to contact to file a complaint. When we asked the company what company hired the driver so they could be contacted for a quote, they also refused to disclose any information. However, Walsh has let us know that he finally got a hold of the distributor, and the driver has been fired. He wrote on his blog last night: "After the distributor was notified of the incident (albeit nearly a week after the incident occurred and was reported to Yuengling, and merely a matter of hours after the story was reported by several news sources) they called the driver and his union in to discuss. I have been told that the driver was terminated."
