Yuengling Brewery

D. G. Yuengling & Son is the oldest operating brewing company in the United States, established in 1829. It is one of the largest breweries by volume in the country, and is the second largest American-owned brewery after the Boston Beer Company, makers of Sam Adams beer. Its headquarters are in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.

Yuengling produces 3.6 million barrels annually, which as of 2005, placed it sixth among American commercial breweries. Besides its two Pennsylvania facilities, Yuengling also operates a brewery in Tampa, Florida. Yuengling is pronounced ying-ling, and is an Anglicized version of Jüngling, the German term for "young man". The family-owned brewery has traditionally changed ownership through the purchase of the company by the offspring of the previous owner. Due to the popularity of Yuengling Traditional Lager in Pennsylvania, it can be ordered by simply asking for a lager, especially in eastern parts of the state.

The brewery offers a fine array of lager and beers in the biergarten as well as a fun and inviting gift shop. Souvenirs and signature glassware can be purchased in the gift shop. The brewery is in a different location than the headquarters and is found at 11111 North 30th Street in Tampa. The brewery is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm and on Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm.
