The brewery has been operating in Pottsville, Pennsylvania since 1829. The four daughters of Richard Yuengling, Jr., now 80 years old, run the business. It may be old but the brewery can still produce 900 cans of beer per minute.
“It’s our story,” Debbie Yuengling, the employee engagement and culture manager for Yuengling, told FOX Business’ Jeff Flock on “Mornings with Maria” Wednesday. “We have a story that nobody else has. We’re America’s oldest brewery, six generations, and we’re super excited and proud about it.”
“We’re very lucky,” Wendy Yuengling, chief administrative officer, said. “We’re sixth-generation in a family business, and we get to work side by side with our dad which not many family companies can say.”
Ironically, Yuengling is a German-origin name that means “young man” in English. Four women run the business now. To celebrate 194 years in business, Yuengling rolled out limited-edition, 12-ounce cans that read, “Let’s Go USA,” while featuring a Stars and Stripes design. No Pride rainbows or transgender characters to draw attention to the brand or insult regular Americans in order to attract The Woke. The pride this company is celebrating is old-fashioned patriotism. How refreshing. The sisters attribute the company’s continued success to “amazing employees and very loyal consumers.”
