About The Brand

America's Oldest Brewery. In spite of the demise of countless breweries throughout the country, Pennsylvania's popular Yuengling Brewery survives as a thriving business and historic treasure. It owes its ongoing success to the remarkable combination of pride and determination, tradition and innovation evidenced throughout its challenging history. Nestled among the rolling Appalachian foothills, the D.G. Yuengling and Son Brewery is located in Pottsville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Today, the company proudly boasts an unmatched record of continuous operation since 1829 and the longest uninterrupted history of management by a single family in the country. Moving forward boldly, Dick Yuengling has positioned the brewery to survive in today's marketplace, and is setting the stage for the next generation. In November of 1992 he began the largest expansion to date, building additional storage cellars which has helped increase production by 30%. He has four daughters and says they will be given the opportunity to take over management someday. ''I haven't read anywhere that a woman can't run a brewery,'' says Dick. Throughout the brewery's 167-year history, the Yuengling family's determination and innovation have been the source of its ongoing success. In the words of current owner Dick Yuengling, ''The brewery is a survivor.''
