America's oldest brewery reminds beer lovers theirs is a 'story nobody else has'
Fox Business ^

Posted on 06/24/2023 5:39:02 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

Since 1829, Yuengling’s flagship brewery in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, has been pouring out a product that brings Americans and families together.

"It's our story," Debbie Yuengling, the employee engagement and culture manager for Yuengling, told FOX Business’ Jeff Flock on "Mornings with Maria" Wednesday. "We have a story that nobody else has. We're America's oldest brewery, six generations, and we're super excited and proud about it."

"We're very lucky," Wendy Yuengling, chief administrative officer, said. "We're sixth-generation in a family business, and we get to work side by side with our dad which not many family companies can say."

Debbie and her sisters – Jennifer, Sheryl and Wendy – are running America’s oldest brewery as Yuengling celebrates its 194th birthday this year. And despite its age, the sisters say the Pottsville location can still produce 900 cans of beer per minute.

I have been a Yuengling beer drinker for many years so am glad to see this great company get the credit they are due.

If you are ever in Pottsville, be sure to take the tour of the original Yuengling factory. Fantastic. They were brewing beer there before the White House had running water.

Great story all around.

German “Jungling” meaning “youngster.”

The family name was originally Jungling. They were immigrants from Germany.

"The name sounds strangely Chinese."

Exactly how many Chinese have you known who were named "Yuengling"?

I was told that Yuengling was bought out by AB. I take it that is wrong.

Liberals spreading misinformation....again.

Dick Yuengling was and is a big Trump supporter.

“They were brewing beer there before the White House had running water.”

And the pre-union government of the time wanted to get their tax money...got Whiskey Rebellion instead. After all, somebody had to replace the Brits to suck tax out of Americans.

Probably Pennsylvania “Dutch” (Deutsch). Yüngling.
