October 30, 2009 the oldest continuously operating brewery in the nation which still has hand-dug caves to use for lagering. multi-story tour.. go on a weekday morning when they’re really brewing - it’s worth it.
The Yengling family refuses to sell beer from the brewery, deciding to invest in the local distributors and pubs rather than under-cut them. Bless the American Enterprise and being a good producer. |

July 8, 2009 Visited on a busy Thursday. Great tour of a very old brewery! Neat caves under the plant. Reminded me of the Stevens Point brewery in its architecture. The beer was -- well -- meh. |

July 4, 2009 Excellent Place, The tour guide and samples were not the best ive had but the tour itself was very unique. They take you basically every in the brewery and in the old fermentation caves, i highly recommend this place. |

June 24, 2009 Extensive tour of a place that is truly Pennsylvania. I especially liked the caves and the free bung souvenir. The sample selections suck, though. But that is Yuengling. They brew what they have been brewing and nothing more. Recommend the tour only. |

May 30, 2009 To date, this is the best brew tour I have been on. The brewery (oldest in US) has a great feel and really lets you be a part of the history. You get to walk through the entire brew process down to bottling and even get to walk through the caves they used to store the beer in. A great piece of history.
*Tip - wear closed toed shoes... or else you’ll have to borrow a pair. |

March 23, 2009 The tour of the brewery is superb. They show you everything from start to finish, including their canning and bottling areas. The end of the tour, of course, is the best part. They have a little bar area that seats only about as many folks that are on the tour. I don’t believe you can just walk right in off the street, sit down and have a beer. It’s not like a bar, just a sitting area for folks who took the tour. They allow you a few samples of your choice, anything from their Lager to the Porter or the Chesterfield. They have a nice waiting area before the tour starts with a history of the brewery, which is very interesting and educational. The staff gives you a ton of info about the brewery along the way. It’s definitely one of the best brewery tours I’ve been on. I would highly recommend a trip out there to check it out. |

November 19, 2008 Basically, go for the tour, not the beer. You will get Yuengling samples (2) at the end, but that’s about all. The tour is very cool and pretty interesting. The best part is when they take you under the brewery into the caves. The tour is free and they have a nice gift shop with all kind of merchandise that is reasonably priced. |
