"The German brewer David Gottlob Jüngling immigrated to the United States in 1823 from Aldingen, a suburb of Stuttgart, in the Kingdom of Württemberg.
He anglicized his surname from Jüngling to Yuengling and began the "Eagle Brewery" on Center Street in Pottsville in 1829. His eldest son, David, Jr., left the Eagle Brewery to establish the James River Steam Brewery along the James River in Richmond, Virginia.
The first brewery burned down in an 1831 fire and the company relocated to W. Mahantongo Street at 5th Street, its current location. The Eagle Brewery changed its name to "D. G. Yuengling and Son" in 1873 after Frederick Yuengling joined his father David in running the company. Although the company's name changed, the bald eagle remained the company's emblem.
During the late 19th century, breweries were also opened in Saratoga Springs, New York City, and Trail, British Columbia, although they were eventually merged with the Pottsville plant."

I’ve met Dick twice - both times he was chain smoking and talking a mile a minute. Very intense, steely guy. He won’t “give” the brewery to his daughters, they will have to “buy” it, like he did from his Father.
They are a great family - well grounded - yet enjoying their wealth. All of Freeperland should support them and their non-union produced products.
As for Texas, I asked him about that last year and he said “we’re looking into it.” They almost had a deal w/ a brewery in TN that would have given them access to TX, but it fell through. He doesn’t just jump into things. It has to be the right deal at the right time.
I think they’ll buy another brewery this year (just my opinion), and sales will skyrocket yet again.
