D.G. Yuengling & Son is America s oldest craft brewery, having first poured frothy pints back in 1829 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Since that time they have remained a family business, passed down through generations, always father to son, until the fifth generation of all daughters who are now at the helm. Despite being the largest craft brewery by volume of sales in the United States, this brand has never been sold in Texas.
But that will all soon change. Last year the brewery formed The Yuengling Co., a joint venture with Molson Coors, and sometime this year will be brewed at the latter s Fort Worth facility and distributed throughout the state.
