someone can correct me but I ‘ve been told by my brother who lives in the area that Yuengling is the oldest active brewery......any one know for sure?
1976 The brewery is placed on the national and state registers as America’s oldest brewery during the American Bicentennial
It was founded as the porter-producing Eagle Brewery in 1829 (renamed the D.G. Yuengling & Son Brewery in 1873) in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Yuengling lays claim today to being “America’s Oldest Brewery.”
