Yuengling - America's Oldest Brewery

Since 1829, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. of Pottsville, Pennsylvania has produced a complete line of fine brewed products to satisfy the most discerning tastes of beer connoisseurs. For over 175 years each recipe has called for both American six row and imported two row barley malt along with a combination of Cluster and Cascade hops. Coupled with longer aging times, each of these craft-brewed beers offers its own unique appearance, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel. This home town brewer has the distinction of being a regional brewery without sacrificing flavor to appeal to the masses.  

As Dick Yuengling, Jr. 5th Generation President and Owner, D.G. Yuengling & Son states on their web page:

"I would like to share the great pride we have in being recognized as America's Oldest Brewery. Founded in 1829 by my great-great grandfather David G. Yuengling, we are a family owned company, now spanning over 180 years of continuous operation.

Through five generations we have remained unique among breweries, distinguished by its culture, heritage, traditions, and portfolio of brands. Now the sixth generation is actively learning the business from the ground floor up.

I would like to thank our consumers, retailers, wholesalers, and employees who are the cornerstone to our brewery. You have become a part of the extended Yuengling family and each of you has become an integral part of our continuing success.

Whether you are raising a glass of Yuengling for the first time or have been a lifelong fan, I thank you for your support of America's Oldest Brewery. I invite you to discover more about our unique company.

Cheers,

Dick "
