D.G. Yuengling started brewing beer in 1829. The Yuengling brewery has been marked as America's oldest brewery and has been a family owned business. There are three Yuengling breweries, two in Pottsville, PA and the other here in Tampa, FL. The brewery features tours, gift shop & sample beers.
If you have never taken a tour of a brewery, the Yuengling Brewery tour is definately a great experience. There is a lot of history about the beer as well which will make you love the beer even more!
Pros: When you go to tour the Yuengling Brewery you get two beers to sample for free. Not to mention the tours are free too so it definately makes a good bang for the buck.
Cons: You only get to have two beers when you do the tour. It is understandable though.
The Yuengling Brewery makes for a fun activity to do when money is tight and you want to go explore. The factory tours held almost every day of the week are full of plenty of information on how their beer is brewed and what goes into their daily process. The free sample of beer at the end of the tour is always a big plus and you can go on the tour as many times as you like as well - so feel free to visit with different friends and expose them to something new. Located close to USF - it's something everyone can do and if you're under 21 they still offer alternative refreshments.
Pros: Fun activity to-do, Free admission and beer!
Pros: It's FREE! Hard to go wrong with that.
Cons: Wish you could enjoy more than samples in the Biergarten. Would be cool to have pints. Wouldn't mind paying for them.
The tour is very informative and the tour guides are amazing! They sometimes sample beer they are testing before they market it so you get to try it before it is available, like the IPA.
Pros: Yuengling is the best beer and without this brewery, Tampa would not have this great beer available to them. The tour is great, the gift shop has lots of Yuengling merchandise, and the samples of beer are icing on the cake.
Cons: They are closed on Sunday and only limit you to two samples.
