Despite Yuenglings double-digit growth rate, a slew of unserved states still clamor for its beer.
Soon, some states could be competing for the honor of hosting the Pottsville beermakers next brewery.
Last year, Americas oldest brewery became the nations largest American-owned brewer. With a move into Ohio last year, D.G. Yuengling & Sons sales rose to about 2½ million barrels enough to eclipse Boston Beer Co.s Samuel Adams brands.

Unfortunately, Yuengling said he doubts he will build the brewery in Pennsylvania, even though a western Pennsylvania location would be perfect for the brands continued westward expansion.
The decision comes down to taxes, incentives and the states business climate, Yuengling said.
In the interview, Yuengling hinted that there are far more business-friendly states.

Yuengling in a bottle: the perfect golf beer.
I have to restrict myself to 4 per round though. Any more and I would throw my clubs in a pond and sit in the shade drinking.
I used to drink it whenever I was in Pa. Then much to my delight I found it had reached South Carolina. It’s the perfect golf beer!
Yuengling, come to the Mountains of NC.
Sierra Nevada, New Belgium and Oskar Blues are opening major breweries there amongst the many micro breweries in the area.
I gather it's a German name but the spelling makes it look Chinese: Yung Ling.
They'll fit in well over there.
I thought Annikin killed all the younglings in the third episode as he went to the dark side.
If I recall, they had a spot picked out in Memphis a year or two ago but the deal apparently fell through. Would be better if they built in eastern TN anyway, where the best water is located.
So which of the Yuengling selections is your fav?
Problem is there shouldn’t be all these so-called economic development agencies and programs that take money from taxpayers in one locale to bribe new businesses to locate there. It’s no different from any other form of government picking winners and losers and it is counter-productive.
We have a group here that gets to travel on our dime while schmoozing with consultants (what a racket that is!) and wining and dining various business people - just like every other state, city, and even small towns!
I’m sure even now this brewer is being promised all kinds of goodies to get them to move. It’s a con job. Let the free market work!
Good catch! The article led me to believe (or perhaps I misread it) that they only had breweries in PA.
Augie Busch once said Coors would never be sold in the state of Missouri. How wrong he was. But at what cost-to Coors?
Oh, and don't get me started on what expansion did to Rolling Rock. Another once great beer. One could pour it gently in a frosted mug on a cold day and the suds would overflow the glass a second later. Great stuff. What they did to it was a crime.
I’d raather have a Stegmaier.
Should read HOT day!
I was a (underage) Budweiser drinker from day one. Then, Budweiser workers went on strike sometime in the early 1970's and Coors saw an opening. Coors was suddenly $1 per six pack.
Became a Coors drinker. Stayed that way for a decade or more.
My first ex-wife then was accepted to a dental school in Boston. We made several trips back and forth to NM in an Oldsmobile Vistacruiser.
Enough room in there to haul my personal supply and enough bootleg at $20 per case retail to the marks to pay for the gas.
Good days.
Quit drinking entirely 2 decades ago, but my remembrances of the old Coors are very good.
Yuengling Porter is my favorite with Yuengling Black&Tan in second place. I don’t like the regular Yuengling
I have a bottle in my hand as I tyoe. I don’t drink a lot of beer but when I do it is Yuengling in a bottle.
Come on down to Texas. Business friendly, good road net, good rail net. And lots of college students, rednecks, oil patch and factory workers who drink lots of beer year round.
Agreed. I seldom choose Yuengling if there's a decent alternative.
