Wow! What a great tour! JJ shared the rich history of the brewery and Yuengling family with a very informative walk-through of their original and still operating brewing facility in Pottsville. Highly recommended!!!!

My first time visiting, staff was super friendly, energetic, and the tour was wonderful. Very interesting and educational. Im not a big beer person but even I enjoyed the tasting at the end.

My family an I took the tour and really enjoyed it. Dont let your bias on favorite beers cause you to miss out on such a wonderful experience. There is so much to see here, so much rich history. Personally I love Yuengling and the factory tour made me like it even more. Made is the USA 100%!

Sarah was an excellent tour guide. She was very patient and definitely knew her stuff. The brewery speaks for itself. OId, graceful, distinguished. If youre in this area you have to stop. We drove from Rochester NY to see it and it was well worth the time.

Had a great time on our tour today! Guide was funny and extremely knowledgeable of the company. We had our 3 kids (all under 10) with us on the tour today and our guide did great with them and kept them interested while we went through. Best part was the tasting room at the end, especially when the kids were allowed to pour their first root beer. Will be making the trip back with other family/friends that come visit us here in PA.

The brewery tour was really cool and interesting. It was really neat to see the history of a 6 generation family business and how they have navigated the challenges of the times. The brewery was the second and you can see the technology change throughout the years. Definitely worth a stop.

This is by far the BEST brewery tour we have taken! What would you expect from Americas Oldest Brewery?They really do an amazing job making you feel like you stepped into a time machine! From the beginning of the tour going into the caves, to standing up top of the big kettle and looking out of the stained glass windows....to getting up close and personal to the canning line.They really show you how its done here on this little brewery built into the side of the mountain. The samples at the end are always a treat and the gift shop has stuff for every budget of Yuengling fan!Try to make it a point to stop here. Then afterwards head south on Rt. 61, hit up Port Clinton Hotel, Port Clinton Peanut Shop, Cigar International and of course Cabelas!

It was great to finally get up here. Everyone on staff was pleasant and professional, and the tour was fantastic. Unlike other tours Ive been on at different breweries, the Yuengling tour had much more character. From the cave below the original building to the bar and manufacturing floor, you felt for those thirty minutes that youd spun into a time warp and were a part of an important history that spans six generations. Definitely leave with some collectibles from their large gift shop.

Always a great free tour. Live the history and the beer. And I dont Eve drink beer, my husband does!

Bucket list item checked!Great tour, fascinating history, friendly staff and GREAT BEER!

What a great way to spend a few hours. Yuengling knocks it out of the park with this tour and gift shop. The tour was incredibly interesting, even for the non beer drinkers in our group. The building has some great history and is fascinating to look at. Wear sturdy shoes for the caves and stairs. The gift shop had very reasonable prices. All in all worth the drive. Especially worth it if you live anywhere in northeastern or central Pennsylvania or eastern NJ.

The Americas oldest brewery is worth visiting not only for beer lovers. I found Hershey chocolate porter there that i havent seen anywhere else before.Not many visitors at Covid times.Great Christmas decorations, lots of interesting exhibits.

The best beer in the world !!!👍chesterfield and octoberfest 👍

Anitas was a very informational and humorous tour guide. Just loved her! Loved the history, very impressive 6 generations. Im not a beer drinker but did do the tastings.

Interesting and informative tour. Free beer at the end of the tour. Pretty awesome gift shop. Ive done this tour twice. Well worth it.

Very interesting history here. Went with some friends for a tour of the brewery. The tour itself is free as long as you schedule in advance (even day before or day of can be ok if they have the availability). We got there about an hour early and coincidentally another group had canceled so they took us on an earlier tour right away. The tour guide was nice and super knowledgeable. Best of all they let you sample a couple beers at the end in their tasting room! Nothing beats free beer of any quantity! They might even give you a taste of a beer still in the works and unreleased if theyve got any.

August 2020. Its Yuengling! Its all good! We werent able to go on the tasting tour because of the number of stairs to climb, but we enjoyed the gift shop and the brewery as much as we could. Great gift shop and great beer.

Ive been a fan of Yuengling ever since I had it down in FL. I was in town visiting family and hour away and figured Id better take the tour. Ive been to the AB brewery but Yuengling is so different because its still has the original part of the brewery and they actually have a working machine shop on location. The whole tour was very personable as the guide was actually interested in where everyone was from and had personal conversations with everyone. My brother had his 4 month old with us and they went above and beyond to get him a cup of hot water to thaw out the babys milk. Next time Im in town I will definitely take the tour again.

Such a fun experience! Tours run every hour until 3pm and are FREE! The staff is so nice and our tour guide was fantastic. You get to walk through the tunnels and walk through the production area and see the cans being filled and boxed for shipment. The tour ends in a cute little bar area where you get a free tasting of whichever beer they have to offer. If in the area, you should check it out. It costs nothing. Parking is a little tricky but they have a small stone lot down the hill behind the building. Make sure to have closed toe shoes and be prepared to walk some stairs.

My boyfriend and I were in the area and decided to add this tour to the itinerary. He decided to purchase a few souvenirs beforehand, but had to wait while JJ finished her task of removing labels before she rang up his purchases. During the tour we continually got our hand slapped for tarrying a few seconds while taking a few photos. I felt rushed and anxious and found it difficult to enjoy the tour. At the end while waiting at the bar for my two free samples, JJ purposely ignored me and served the man behind me. I’ve rarely felt so disrespected by a person in customer service. Rude from beginning to end. Very disappointing. Aside from the rude tour guide, the history and mechanics of the brewery were really interesting.

Very nice experience

They offer an amazing fun tour... and it is FREE! its mind blowing...cant come by this much wholesome fun and kind hospitality too often nowadays...and did i forget to tell you...you get a free beer too...

J.J. was an awesome tour guide! The caves were so neat and unexpectedly historical. Huge samples at the end. The mango was our favorite. Go, you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic Tour. Masks were required and the tour guide made social distancing a priority during the tour. Thank you!! Tour takes you through the original caves, the brewery and ends at the tasting room. The new gift shop is very nice.

We drove from Central Jersey for the tour on my husbands 29th birthday. 100% worth it!! The tour was great, the history of the brewery is very interesting. The coolest part was checking out the bottling and canning area.. it was mesmerizing! Our tour guide was great, we had a lot of fun.Free beer at the end of the tour!Their gift shop is awesome. We bought a couple shirts, some glasses, and a growler. When my husband showed his ID they gave him a poster signed by the owner, Richard Yuengling, because it was his birthday!

We are fans of Yuengling beer so coming to the brewery was high on our list when we happened to be close by. The tour was great as well as the gift shop. I especially enjoyed the free tasting after the tour was over. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and we had a really good time. One thing to note is you have to have closed toe shoes to be allowed to go in the tour. If you don’t have a pair you are able to purchase some at the gift shop for a fair price.

Awesome Beer an Great Products!!! Tour was very interesting also.

Very educational . After the tour you get 2 free samples of beer. Cheers.

After numerous trips North and South on 81 I had the opportunity today finally visit yuengling brewery in Pottsville Pennsylvania. Just a short drive off of 81 either North or southbound you come into the thriving town of Pottsville after negotiating many one-way streets I finally arrived at the brewery three very large buildings located on the side of a hill. I checked into the gift shop where the tours originate. I received a wristband and waited for the tour to start. Tour last about 40 minutes and goes through the entire facility as well as the history of the company which to date is 192 years continuous operation in the United States. The tour ends in the rathskeller, where you are treated to two samples of their numerous products. As someone who consumes yuengling I was interested in trying some of the products I have never seen on sale. One in fact a product called Chesterfield is not sold outside of the state of Pennsylvania. The entire process from the time I got there to the time I left took about 2 hours and its worth the trip for any beer consumer. And when in the area I would return.

From Illinois and enjoyed every bit of the tour! Yuengling is me favorite beer Ive read up on this beer and the history before and still enjoyed it all I could go everyday!!! There merchandising they have available is top notch!

Very nice, informative and free tour of the brewery. Recommend going during the week, as the production line is not running on weekends. Free samples at the end of the tout, and a nice selection of merchandise got sale.

Went to Pottsville to tour the Yuengling Brewery. Very interesting historical tour of the facility and the history of the company. Amazing to see the original building and hear the development history of it and company. The tasting room is a great opportunity to try a variety of their different brews. The store has a wonderful selection of mementos, clothing, beers, and man cave items. I also found the drive thru town interesting to see how it is built into the side of the mountain. Some of the streets give San Francisco a run for its money. Plenty of venues grab lunch or dinner with a variety of foods.

Great beer and even greater brewery tour!!

Quick trip for their Hersheys chocolate porter. Will make another for growlers, as long as their supply lasts....

Awesome place to visit! Brewery tour was great and I actually learned a lot. Everyone is really nice and the samples of beer at the end of the tour was perfect! Highly recommend

Absolutely amazing place to visit. The staff is very helpful and kind.

Yuengling has been a go to beer for me for years. I really wish we could get alot of the stuff at home that you can get there. Tour guide was amazing and the story is great.

A little hard on the feet and knees . Make sure you wear good shoes

If you want a tour, be sure to get there on time. We turned up 15 minutes after the last tour and left disappointed.The gift shop had good quality items and beer for sale, so we didnt leave empty handed!

The tour was very nice. Anita was very friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. The beer was, as expected, outstanding. Now we need a brewery in St. Louis

Excellent tour! Highly recommend! Free tour and 2 free samples! $3 pints.

Loved the tour. Found a few new beers I like....bought a little to much lol. Who am I kidding can you buy to much beer?. If you get a chance do the tour.

Ive been here 5 times and when they added the cave visit I was hooked on the beer and the history behind it all. A fun walk through of a real factory - not many of these tours remain. 5 Stars plus plus ! Also a good cardiac challenge!! Ahhh Yuengling !

Great tour! Free samples at the end to enjoy. Try the Raging Eagle mango it terrific!

Interesting tour. And great beer tasting.

The tour was very nice. Only lasted about 30 minutes. Plus you also get to walk through the brewery

Free tour with a great tour guide. Took about 30-40 minutes (straight to the point, perfect for all ages) & afterwards you get two free decently sized samples!

Very nice gift shop. Interesting displays of the history of Yuenglings.

Nice tour and gift shop. Tour guide was good as well as the beer. Worth the trip.

Great tour! Even the kids enjoyed learning about the history and brewing process.

Fantastic tour of historic Yuengling brewery! I have been travelling to Pottsville for several years and finally had chance to complete the tour. Great gift shop with extensive selection of Yuengling merchandise. The tour was very informative. The guides are great.

Very nice tour and free beer!

The tour was great and informative (and free!) where we got to try two samples of beer afterwards and got some great merchandise at the gift shop. Very cool history behind the brewery itself

I wasnt able to do the tour because of time constraint but it was neat walking around the area and going into the gift shop. This is a part of history.

I thought the tour was great and our tour director was very knowable. The factory was clean but the old part of the factory was smelly which can be expected. Overall, love the history and it’s great for kids to learn how beer is made and the purpose of caves.

Excellent! Well worth the stop, very informative historical site and great beer.

Omg the tour was fabulous. And the gift shop, museum was great. The best was the taste testing.

Go on the tour. Caves used before refrigeration. neat history. gift shop is nice lots of trinkets clothing

Great free tour that is roughly an hour long, if your visiting the area I highly recommend stopping at Yuengling Brewery!

Great tour guide- extremely knowledgeable, the parking situation is ok a gravel lot down the hill from the brewery - if you are in Pottsville pa don’t miss this opportunity

I enjoyed the tour. The people were nice and answered all the questions that was asked

Great tour of Americas oldest Brewery

Loved it! Had a great time with my mom.

Tour is 45 minutes

Great tour, lots of history and of course samples of my favorite beer.Loved their support for Military, Police and First Responders.

Wow, an interesting history from a knowledgeable guide. Definitely recommend to visit!

Nice folks. Great beer!

The tour was great! I love hearing about the prohibition and family history. The tour was FREE and there was a beer tasting at the end. Bring back the old style half and half! Yum!!

Great expireance, especially if you like beer. Worth the trip

Very enjoyable and well laid out tour. Tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining.

Do the tour!! Only draw back is a lot of stairs. The samples at the end are worth it. Staff are wonderful. Thanks 😀👍😀

First of all 100% free tour and two cups free beer for taste. l prefer the golden beer.secondly terrific introduction but l only can get 60% because i am not English speaker and the beautiful lady speak so fast 😁anyway excellent tourps:for Sat and Sun free parking.

Great assortment of gifts bearing the Yuengling logo and had their beer available to buy.

Nice tour. A must see if you are in central PA!

A lot of history.Staff very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable about the business!!!

Very nice hour or so tour of a unique place

Wonderful. Great place to go . A must see if you are a Yuengling drinker.

Very interesting history and excellent tour guide 👏. I loved just about every single brew. The gift shop was big and filled with lots of great items. Reserve online and ahead of time as weekend tours sell out quickly. You wont be disappointed.

Free tour of a historic brewery with free beer, great idea.

Highly recommend this tour. What a great experience.

Great tour. Only thing I wished I had known was the bottling line closes early SO I would have made a earlier tour to see the process if bottling.With that being said it was a great time. Super nice tour guide. Very interesting. Good

Absolutely amazing tour. Drove from michigan just to go on it. Cant wait to have it where I live. Grew up drinking it in NJ. Sarah (hope thats the right spelling) is one of the nicest tour guides Ive ever had.

Tried website to book tour several times said website down. Called for help was told need to book online told them it was down they were no help & rude. You lost a good group that was going to come & spend money.

Such an honor to get to be there on National Beer Day. I would definitely go see it if you get the chance !

I love it very over wellmean I spend over $100 in gift shop love that place

It was great. I will recommend to anyone who is a beer lover.

I love this place! The tour is great and employees are very knowledgeable. They can answer all your questions and really know the history of the brewery. Of course my favorite part is the samples! You can visit the gift shop and museum and the prices are good. I highly recommend a stop at this historic brewery!

The tour was excellent and Ill definitely be back again and I love the taste samples

Loved the tour! Cant believe we havent gone sooner...

Stopped into Yuengling brewery for a tour and ended up at the gift shop after. The tour was interesting and informative about the history of Yuengling. The tastings after were great, specially the Hershey Chocolate Porter. The gift shop has everything Yuengling along with most of their beer.

Great tour, loved walking through the caves...

We have been on a number of brewery tours and this was by far the best. Such a rich history of how the countrys oldest brewery started. Our guide was wonderful and it ended in probably the best gift shop Ive ever been to.

Good beer, fun tour. Great experience

Loved it. Worth the drive.

Great tour great beer great gift shop 👍👍

Bill and Shawn are awesome!

It was an amazing tour seeing Americas oldest brewery, and the girl who gave us the tour was extremely nice & knowledgeable of the brewery!
