A close-up look inside Yuengling (video)
1829 was a very good year for beer. German immigrant David G. Yuengling founded a brewery in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, that would go on to become America’s oldest. What’s perhaps even more impressive is that it’s been in the Yuengling family all this time. Six generations in and going strong, Yuengling Brewery has grown exponentially over the years.

Breweries: D.G. Yuengling and Son
It is very interesting how the company has gone on to become America’s oldest brewery. Good beer too.
This family friendly nice guy image is a fraud.
Look what he’s tried to do to his own workers and their families:

And he’s threatens to leave Pennsylvania constantly. He’s happy to advertise his beer as locally brewed in a historic town in Pennsylvania, that he’s basically a hometown kind of guy, while threatening to move to some random place that’ll give him tax breaks and let him pay his workers in peanuts or something every other second.
And his traditional lager from “the oldest brewery in the country”? First brewed 1987. The brewery has been around a long time, but their flagship beer is faux nostalgia.
