Despite Yuengling’s 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 beermaker’s next brewery.
Last year, America’s oldest brewery became the nation’s largest American-owned brewer. With a move into Ohio last year, D.G. Yuengling & Son’s 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 brand’s continued westward expansion.
The decision comes down to taxes, incentives and the state’s business climate, Yuengling said.
In the interview, Yuengling hinted that there are far more business-friendly states.

Yuengling, now the largest American-owned brewer, says it likely won't build its next brewery in Pennsylvania for business reasons
Really good beer, if a little on the “light” end of the flavor spectrum. I hope they build their next brewery in the south. That would be a poke in the eye to the Northeats/midwest high tax states.
Sounds like they have some common sense.
I wish that some reporter would ask that smug SOB and ex-governor Ed Rendell about this. (He’s everywhere despite having left office) He has a Clinton-esque way with the truth and nobody ever calls him on his outrageous claims about his economic record. He was an unmitigated disaster.
Too bad they couldn’t buy the Tennessee facility. I’m sure that would be a good state for them. I’m a big Yingling fan.
I like it too. My only complaint is that it is a little light on the flavor spectrum, which is why I grab a Sam Adams instead.
Hubby’s favorite beer, I’m glad that they’re doing well.
One of the most enjoyable meals I've ever had. The Yuengling was reminescent of what Coors once was, long ago, before they were forced to start selling nationwide.
PA Ping!
If you want on/off the PA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
Rampant liberalism is bad for business. Dick Yuengling Jr. tries to explain to a nation of idiotic Obummer voters why.
Yuengling in a can: The perfect boat beer.
Look at Tennessee. Very low taxes.
Last time I looked Tampa, Florida is in the south. (My home town)
Yuengling is just about the only beer I drink... discovered it about three years ago....excellent beer...
One knothead actually makes the "You didn't build that" argument.
The company I work for has offices in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Every time the crew from San Jose goes back there, everyone who enjoys a good beer looks forward to pounding a few Yuenglings.
We need the work in the panhandle...I hope they consider us, too!
