established in 1831 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and it is still cranking out

Yuengling is a family business, started after founder, David
G. Yuengling, arrived from Germany. Five generations later, it is the largest
U.S.-owned brewery, with two plants in Pennsylvania (Pottsville and Mill
Creek), and one in Tampa, Florida. The company makes seven year-round beers,
including Lager, Premium, Black and Tan, Lord Chesterfield Ale, Porter and two
Light beers; and seasonal brews, Bock and Oktoberfest.

Tours begin at the Brewery’s Rathskeller, which is also
where the tour ends and where you can enjoy samples of beer. In between, you’ll
see the brewing area, bottling and canning lines, and then head into
underground tunnels which were once used to store beer before refrigeration—and
closed by the federal government during Prohibition. Tours are free and last
approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

In 2013, the company branched out and introduced a line of
barbecue and wing sauces, with their beer as a key ingredient. Stop by the gift shop and you can check them
out, as well as shop for shirts, hats glasses and other items sporting the
brewery label.
