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.

Try the Yuengling Lager
It’s my alternative to “Harp “ , if the “Harp “ isn’t available.
I normally buy the variety pack the original is my favorite though
Build it in Washington! I just returned from Pittsburgh and enjoyed a couple of cold Yuengling draft Lagers and a pizza at Primanti’s while watching the Mountaineers take care of Texas last night. It doesn’t get much better than that.
They can’t expand westward fast enough to suit me. I wouldn’t mind it if Dunkin Donuts put their return to the west on a faster track either.
Yea, the Coors of 35 years ago was good.
Yah, don’t they have a brewery out by USF & MOSI?
the collective is responsible for when and where everything is built, so says der bambam...
LOL As a former Pennsylvanian, tell him that he is right.
And they won't build the next one there either!
“Yuengling” won’t fit across the hood of a “Stock” Car.
