Top 5 Oldest Breweries in America

1. D.G. Yuengling & Son, PA

Year of Establishment: 1829

Yuengling started off with making only 600 barrels of beer a year in the days of hand-hewn fermentation caves, before mechanized refrigeration. But things have changed over the years and with a sales volume of over 2.2 million barrels in 2022, Yuengling is now among the largest breweries in America. The family-owned brewery has traditionally changed ownership through the purchase of the company by the offspring of the previous owner. Its flagship product is the Yuengling Traditional Lager – the oldest lager in America. 

Established by the German brewer David Yuengling in 1829, Yuengling is the oldest brewery in the United States.
