D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. is America's oldest brewery and after a recent trip to Nashville, TN I feel compelled to write about their particular brand of refreshment. Yuengling is family owned and has been since its first keg was brewed in 1829. Strongly committed to tradition, Yuengling packages a wide variety of popular Ales, Porters and Lagers. Yuengling is brewed in Pottsville, Pennsylvania and their flagship beer, Traditional Lager, can be ordered in Pennsylvania and bordering states by simply ordering a "lager." This is certainly a mark of the breweries popularity but also the loyalty of their beer drinkers. A lot has happened throughout the brewery's 189 year lifespan and if you are curious about all of the fun facts please click here.
Yuengling is not sold in Canada so if you are interested in trying any number of their brews you will have to hop (pun intended) over the border. If you do get a chance to try it, I suggest the Traditional Lager. It's a crisp and classic lager that has truly stood the test of time. There aren't many beer companies that have lasted as long and still retain such a loyal and diverse fan-base. Not only is the Traditional Lager delicious, it is served in an attractive green glass bottle. Their unique packaging sets them apart from other brown bottle distributors, throws back to a simpler time and allows whoever is enjoying their beer a chance to stand out in a crowd.

Fun Fact: In 2011 Yuengling was tied with Boston Beer Company (Sam Adams) for the largest American-owned brewery!
