               That’s something right out of Beer Selling 101. But sometimes

Derek Usner
Delivery Service Representative
How long have you been with Origlio- Reading? 8 years.
Which areas do you service? Northampton and
Lehigh Counties.
How do you provide the best service to customers? I try
to be knowledgeable about our products and billing so I’m able
to answer questions the customer might have. Other than that,
just common sense things: get to know the customer to find a
delivery schedule/time that works for them and be on time.
What do you like to do when you’re not working? I have
a cabin in Slate Run so I like to go up there and take the dog
hiking. I’m also a member of Reading Off-Road Riders, which is a
dirt biking group. We put on a couple events each year.
If you could be anywhere, drinking any beer, where would
you be and what beer would you have in your hand? I’d be in
Montana drinking a Lagunitas Sucks.

Ian Thomas
On-Premise Sales Manager, Berks County
How long have you been with the company? I have been with All
Star/Origlio for 15 years.
What other positions have you held in the company? I started out
as a merchandiser. I did that for three years before I got a sales route
in Berks County. I had that route for three years when I stepped into the
role of Key Accounts Manager for Berks and Lancaster Counties. After a
restructure of the sales team about four years ago, I took a position as
the manager of the on-premise sales team in Berks County, which is my
current position.
What is the best thing about your job? The best part about my job
is getting into the market with my reps and talking to accounts. The
decisions that are made in those meetings are important to growing our
business together.
What does it take to make sure your department runs smoothly on             What do you like to do when you’re not
a day-to-day basis? Trust and communication with my team.                   working? I love to golf.
What does it take to be a top notch sales manager? I like to lead           If you could be anywhere in the world
by example. I can’t ask my team to do something that I wouldn’t do          drinking any beer, where would you be
or stand behind. But most of all, you could not be a top notch sales        and what would you be drinking? Playing
manager without a top notch sales team. I would put my team in Berks        golf at Augusta National with friends, while
up against any other team!                                                  drinking a Coors Light.

BrewerHIGHLIGHT
“Four-titude” Drives the Sixth Generation of
Yuengling’s Family Business
Dick Yuengling thought long and hard before
investing millions of dollars in his Florida facility.
Foremost in his mind was one very important
consideration. Will there be a sixth generation at the
helm of American’s Oldest Family-Owned Brewery?
His four daughters – Jennifer, Wendy, Sheryl and
Debbie, assured him that they were all in.

      where you won’t come across Yuengling’s
      newest and very successful marketing platform
#spreadyourwings. This ad campaign reminds consumers
that Yuengling is Philadelphia’s local brewery with the
German-brewing heritage, authenticity and easy-drinking
beers this discerning population demands.
Jennifer, Wendy, Sheryl and Debbie Yuengling – the
daughters with “four-titude”, (yes, we know it’s corny) find
it a quirky coincidence that #spreadyourwings resonates
with the public. “It’s what our dad urged each one of us
to do,” began Jennifer Yuengling-Franquet. “But he said
something more like ‘figure it out and find something you
want to work hard at every day’”. “There was no pressure
to work here,” said Wendy Yuengling-Baker. “Yet we all
found our own path back to the brewery.”
                                                                          “Sure, the four of us have our little disagreements. That’s a good thing. It’s not a good thing

Roots Beer Distributor

N
       EAL FULKERSON AND HIS AUNT, KAREN HURLEY, ARE THE
       dynamic duo of Roots Beer Distributor in Mount Joy, PA. They
       run their family-owned business with unparalleled optimism,
enthusiasm and passion. What some might see as obstacles, they see
as opportunities, ready to take whatever the industry throws at them and
use it to their advantage. Heady Times sat down with Neal and Karen to
find out more about what they’ve done and what they’re planning to do
to make Roots a destination beer shop in Lancaster County.
                                                                                Neal Fulkerson and Karen Hurley of Roots Beer Distributor
Heady Times (HT): This business has been in your family for 37
years. Having grown up in this industry, what is the biggest change
you’ve seen and how did you adapt?
Neal Fulkerson (NF): Definitely being able to sell 6-packs and singles. I
never thought I’d see that.
Karen Hurley (KH): It happened on Neal’s birthday this year! The first day
we were able to sell them was his actual birthday. And we were ready for
it. We went all in. We had our new cooler doors ordered back in November.
NF: We put in 20 cooler doors and multiple shelves. We had to

We change a lot. Constantly. We are always trying to better ourselves.
For example, when 15-packs and 16 oz. cans were introduced, we
changed the store around to get them in a more prominent spot. I don’t
let products sit; if something doesn’t sell I don’t bring it back in.
HT: How have you been adapting to the increasing competition
from grocery stores?
NF: Lots of distributors are very against grocery stores, but I think there’s
a lot to learn from them. Grocery stores are good at what they do and
people (consumers) like them. So we’ve been making some changes to

Island Pizza

W
           HEN YOU THINK OF PENNSYLVANIA, THE FIRST IMAGES THAT
           come to mind are probably not palm trees and sunshine. But at
           Island Pizza in Birdsboro, owner Bill Vanneman and family have
created an escape. With pizza dough made daily, an outdoor bar & patio
that overlooks the sunset and nearly 40 beers on tap, Island Pizza truly
is a slice of paradise.
Heady Times (HT): You’re located in southeast Pennsylvania. What
made you decide on the name Island Pizza?
Bill Vanneman (Bill): My wife and I used to go on vacation to islands             Bill Vanneman and his son Billy of Island Pizza
a lot when we were younger and we wanted to open up a pizza shop on
an island. One time while we were at a pizza shop in Aruba, we got to
talking with the owner, who told us it is very expensive to make pizza on
an island because all of the ingredients have to come from somewhere
else… you don’t see many wheat fields on an island. So when we
opened up here, we called it Island Pizza and our specialty pizzas were
named specifically after islands.
HT: Why Pizza?
Bill: I grew up in a pizza shop and making pizza was something I loved to
do. My wife supported and encouraged me to open my own place. Not
many wives would tell their husbands to give up a good, secure job to
open a restaurant. I don’t get to make the pizza anymore, it takes a toll
on your body, so my son Billy makes most of it now.                               One of Island Pizza’s most loyal customers, “Big Jim” has his very
                                                                                  own bar stool
HT: How many types of pizza do you have?
Billy Vanneman (Billy): We normally have about 20 different styles
and we are always experimenting. I’ve made dessert pizza and peanut
butter & jelly pizza. On busy football Sundays, I’ll come in early and make
breakfast pizza for the staff. They love it.
HT: What changes have you made over the years?
Bill: When I first bought this place, it had a straight bar with nine
barstools and two beer meisters. Every year we got bigger and bigger.             HT: What are your plans for the future?
We redid the bar a few years ago and decided to focus more on craft               Bill: We are going to create a to-go side so

HT: How has the patio changed business for you?
Bill: We always wanted to offer a spot to sit outside and drink. Originally,
the building had an overhang outside and we tried having certain nights
with beer pong, bean bags, music, etc. but it wasn’t generating the
business we hoped for. Now our patio has a bar with eight taps and thirty
barstools along with fifteen dining tables. It really increases traffic for us;
we have people come here just for the patio. We’re not in the city and
we have a bit of land surrounding the building, so it’s very beautiful and
relaxing out there.
