Yuengling

Shush, don't tell anyone or it may get bought as well. They have a nice assortment of beers other than the Lager.

D.G. Yuengling & Son, commonly called Yuengling, of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, is the oldest operating brewing company in the United States, having been established in 1829, and is one of the largest breweries by volume in the country. Yuengling's trademarked phrase "America's Oldest Brewery" refers to the U.S. only, as the Canadian brand Molson, founded in 1786, is the oldest in North America.[1]

Yuengling produces 1.2 million barrels (140 million liters) annually, which as of 2005, placed it sixth among American commercial breweries. Besides its two Pennsylvania facilities, Yuengling also operates a brewery in Tampa, Florida.

Yuengling is right! They are still family-owned, so there's no immediate concern over their purchase. I toured their "original" brewery in Pennsylvania last Thanksgiving weekend with my sister. It was fun, free, and you got a free beer sample at the end if you're over 21! I like their Black & Tan and their "Porter" (it's actually a dark lager, but still good) besides their Lager. I've also had their Premium, which doesn't have widespread availability, and that was pretty good too.
