D. G. Yuengling & Son is the oldest operating brewing company in the United States, established in 1829. It is one of the largest breweries by volume in the country, and is the second largest American-owned brewery after the Boston Beer Company, makers of Sam Adams beer. Its headquarters are in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.

Yuengling produces about 2.3 million barrels annually, which as of 2005, placed it sixth among American commercial breweries. Besides its two Pennsylvania facilities, Yuengling also operates a brewery in Tampa, Florida. Yuengling is pronounced Listeni/ˈjɪŋlɪŋ/ ying-ling, and is an Anglicized version of Jüngling, the German term for "young man". The family-owned brewery has traditionally changed ownership through the purchase of the company by the offspring of the previous owner. Due to the popularity of Yuengling Traditional Lager in Pennsylvania, it can be ordered by simply asking for a lager, especially in eastern parts of the state.

Traditional Lager

This is the company's flagship beer, and what is received if a "lager" is ordered throughout many parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. It is usually sold in green bottles prominently featuring the word "LAGER" on the label but, is also available in cans, and brown quart bottles as well as 22 ounce bottles (colloquially known as "bombers"), now discontinued and replaced with 24 ounce cans. Yuengling Lager is 4.4 percent ABV.

Light Lager

This is a lower-calorie version of the Traditional Lager.

Yuengling Premium Beer

This is a standard American pilsener.

Yuengling Premium Light Beer

This is a lower-calorie version of the Premium Beer.

Original Black & Tan

This black and tan is a mixture of Yuengling Premium Beer (40%) and Dark-Brewed Porter (60%). It was introduced in 1986.

Dark-Brewed Porter

This porter has a very dark cola color, appearing almost black in the glass with a pale tan head, and has a strong malt flavor. Rather than using the traditional top-fermenting ale yeasts used in most porters, Yuengling's porter is bottom-fermented; few mainstream breweries produce this style. Originally known as "Pottsville Porter," this beer is notable for being one of the few porters commercially available from the late 1960s to the early 1980s.

Lord Chesterfield Ale

Named for Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, this is Yuengling's hoppiest beer and only true ale. Like the Traditional Lager, it is usually sold in green bottles (but also in cans) and has an element of corn in its profile. It is very carbonated and tends to sprout a large but short-lived head when poured. As of 2007, Lord Chesterfield is no longer sold in kegs. However, quarter kegs were put back on the market in October 2008.

Yuengling Bock

Introduced in February, 2009, this is a return of a discontinued beer last brewed in 1970s. According to company sources, it will be sold as a draught-only, spring seasonal beer.[19] Due to its popularity Yuengling Bock beer was made available for kegs and cases in January 2010.

Yuengling Octoberfest

Will be produced for the 2011 Octoberfest season.

Old German (no longer produced)

This was Yuengling's discount brand. Sold in stylistically unique, short brown bottles that resembled barrels, Old German was a flavorful, slightly sweet lager. Its inexpensive retail price ($1.15 for a six-pack in 1986, equal to $2.3 today) made it a favorite of college students and others of lesser means. Old German was discontinued in 1994. Note that "Old German" is a popular name for beer brands and even some breweries. The "Old German" brand which Yuengling produced was purchased from Mount Carbon Brewery after it ceased production at its own facilities.

Half & Half (no longer produced)

Originated from Reading's Northeast Taproom where they mixed a 50/50 blend of Dark-Brewed Porter and Lord Chesterfield Ale. The local bar then requested that Yuengling sell the draft pre-mixed and the official "Half & Half" was born. It was replaced by Original Black & Tan in 1986 and was discontinued.
