Despite one very rude employee we had a wonderful time touring the brewery. We took a trip out to the brewery this past Monday; our tour guide Amber was knowledgeable and friendly. The two tastings afterward were a nice finish to the tour. I grew up in NJ and my husband and I love Yuengling. We now live in Texas where they do not sell it. Visiting the brewery with family was a real treat for us. We brought my son along who s almost 4. He behaved wonderfully during the tour and enjoyed a tasting of birch beer at the end. The only issue we had was when we checked in for our tour at the front desk. A woman around 50 with dark hair said I would have to hold him during the tour, which I understood and did. When I turned my back she said, this isn t a babysitting service. My mother and I both heard this statement and considered leaving but decided not to let her bad attitude spoil our day. I guess I m used to Texas now, where most breweries and wineries are family friendly. Regardless, we enjoyed everything else, including the large gift shop!
