I think they're pretty much equal, personally. |

All you "it's in FL, zfg" oughta care. Without the Tampa brewery there is no freakin' way Yuengling blows up in the early 2000's. Buying the Stroh's brewery in '99 was a big risk, but an enormous opportunity that paid off. You also don't get any of the delicious Octoberfest they make every year, cuz that's invented, brewed, and bottled in Florida. (Had a nice chat with the brewmaster, he's awesome.) Tampa also brews more beer than both the other Yuengling facilities combined, iirc. Unless you're drinking it in Pennsylvania, you're probably drinking Florida Lager.
Furthermore, any of you dorks who claim to be able to taste the difference need to apply for a job with them right now because I have great news for you, your superhuman senses are about to pay off big time. The only difference is the water, which they take great pains to keep as close as possible.

Everyone else is supposed to stay the fuck away. |

We used it to cool a calcium chloride brine that was used as a coolant where there wasn't any chance of cross contamination of product and cooled food grade glycol with it for use in heat exchangers where there was a chance. |

All I can say is thank government we're required to have fire extinguishers, even though we're not allowed to use them without civil repercussion.
Sounds like when I worked for the government, we had one of those automatic defibrillators on site but we were told not to use them. We were supposed to go find someone else in the building who was designated too use it and they would handle it. |
