Yuengling Brewery - Family owned and operated. This brewery is the oldest operating brewery in the United States. Situated in Pottsville, about an two hour ride from Phildadelphia, you can take a tour through the amazing process of brewing beer. From the hugh fermenting tanks, to processing, to bottling, it's all done on site almost every day of the year. It could be one of the brew masters, or a family member, you'll hear a fanstastic story about how the family started the business, how the business stayed in the family, who runs the shop now, and get a tour through out the entire brewery. If you haven't been on a brewery tour, plan to stay for at least 2 hours and ask plenty of questions. They love questions. At the end of the tour, you'll get a chance to gather and sample a fresh cold draft. Check out the two web sites below for more information.

Yuengling is my family's preferred choice of beers. Did not know the brewery was sooo close. I think we need to plan a family trip for a taste test.
