Is Yuengling really family owned and operated?
D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. is owned and operated by Richard (Dick) Yuengling, Jr. This fifth generation owner is in the Pottsville facilities daily. Dick’s passion is in the plant: the brew house, on the bottling line and at the truck docks. However, he can be found in the lab for his morning coffee followed by daily visits to each department.
Dick’s daughters and sixth generation, Wendy Yuengling, Jennifer Yuengling, Debbie Yuengling Ferhat, and Sheryl Yuengling are all members of the Yuengling staff. Wendy and Debbie work in administration and Jennifer and Sheryl are in production and shipping.
What happened to the Yuengling Dairy plant?
The Yuengling Dairy plant located across the street from the Yuengling Brewery has since been renovated and in 2016 opened its doors to the public. It now serves as the new location for the Pottsville gift shop and tour tasting room. All Pottsville tours begin at the new location.
What part of Germany did the Yuengling family come from?
David G. Yuengling came from Aldingen, Germany. Aldingen is a town in Wuerttemberg in the southwestern part of the country.
