Yuengling is an Anglicized version of Jüngling, its founder's surname and the German term for "youngling" or "young person” or simply, “youngster”.
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 and the Delaware Valley (including South Jersey), in some bars it can be ordered by simply asking for a lager.
Take a look through the history of D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America's Oldest Brewery. This documentary was created in 2015 and highlights the five generations of ownership and the sixth generation who's currently learning from their father.
We took a tour of the Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville, PA with our friends in the Lehigh Valley Miata Owners Club (LVMOC). The tour is free and takes about 40 minutes. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and our LVMOC friends made the experience memorable.
