The borough was considering merger with the City of Pottsville. Merger was shot down by the residents and the borough has been making financial progress since new council took the helm. ==The old Mount Carbon Brewery== It was home for many years to the Mount Carbon Brewery which closed in the late 1970s. D.G. Yuengling & Son bought the rights to use the Mount Carbon (Bavarian) name and label when Mount Carbon Brewery went out of business in 1977. Yuengling initially brewed Mount Carbon for a short time but eventually abandoned it. 7up bottling Co. then took over building for years as a distribution and shipping point. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Carbon, Pennsylvania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
