D.G. Yuengling & Son Inc. might be headquartered in Pottsville, Pa., but Tampa, home to its largest production facility, has become just as important to the family-owned, privately held company that's America’s oldest brewery, founded in 1829.

Yuengling came to Tampa in 1999, when it bought the former Stroh Brewery Co. facility at 11111 N. 30th St., less than two miles from Busch Gardens Tampa. On Nov. 16, the company broke ground on an ambitious expansion intended to make the area even more of a tourist attraction.
