Yuengling Brewing Co Reviews

Awesome tour! This place is a must visit when in Tampa. No other brewing company is more American than Yuengling.
Taken tour 8 times now since I take every person who comes to visit lol.

Good tour, good people who really seem to like their jobs and good beer. What more can be said?

The tour was free, and very informative. It was a great experience seeing how the bigger companies go through the process compared to the smaller breweries. Learned a lot, and there was a small tasting at the end. Great place to spend some time!

Awesome speed for loading, they open at 3am for shipping and receiving, and there is a few parking spaces available before coming inside the property. Very polite workers.

Very fun and informative! Tour leader was excellent and the beer at the end was cold. Be sure to get your picture taken in front of the mirror.

Our tour guide Denise did a great job tonight. Thank you

Susan is the best tour guide ever I love ever min of the tour .

Tour guide was funny and had a lot of knowledge. I thought we'd get a closer look at the plant but everything was from a window. No videos allowed, only photographs. No photographs of the lab. At the end of the tour they give you 2 free cups of beer (not full sized but not sample size either), there were 6 to select from. They do not sell beer there as they do not have a liquor license but they do have a gift shop.

It was a lot of fun! The tour guide was very informative and had a great, fun attitude!

Excellent free tour and you can't go wrong with free beer.

Everything is free. It has a free tour and a couple free tasters it would be nice if they had a full tasting room with ability to purchase a pint and hang out for a bit though.

Great folks, awesome staff. Less then an hour to live load and be gone.

Update this place is closed! Drove over 2 hours to get here!

We went on Good Friday. Most of the employees were off and there was no bottling going on. Our tour guide Abby was very good and did her best. But the height of a brewery tour is always the production line. Tuesday thru Thursday would be your best bet.

Great Tour-- interesting and funny, Jordan was an awesome guide.

Had fun the lady guide was very knowledgeable got to see one of the Beths (chemist) everyone seemed like they love their job. Plus drinking one day old IPL was the best experience for me while in Tampa. Got a cute hat & shot glass at the gift shop. Very satisfied overall

You can take a free tour hear of the brewery and at the end there is as much free beer as you want to drink

Nice little tour especially if you like retro! Lol Other than the equipment the company doesn't seem to put money into the building is or the land. The lab is like walking thru a 60's high school science lab. It was still a nice tour with a very nice tour guide! And of course the free samples!!!

Tour was good and the brews were good of course, but if you get the chance tour the one in Pennsylvania. In my opinion it's a better tour because it's the original plus they can sell beer in their gift shop after the samplings.

Gift shop was well priced. Free beer and your guides were good. Can't go wrong with that

A company that lets you tour it s manufacturing operation and learn it s history is a five star in my book. I am a polymer chemist of 25 years with most of it spent managing operations to be Lean Mfg companies and six Sigma. Everything I saw was lean. Yet it s what I heard about Mr. Yuengling, the fifth generation 70 plus year old that was most impressive! He sounds like a man of great character and an undying love for making the best beer in the country. I hope I get to meet him one day but until then I have a cardboard pic of him. Im now a Yoga Studio owner and retired from chemistry at 38. I can tell a lot about a person from how they look and relate it to their business. This man is in great shape at 70. If you take that good care of yourself, I know he takes good care of his customers! I cant wait to see what his girls do it s the business when they buy it at market value from him. I bet they were raised to be sharp women with keen eyes for details. The tour guides were awesome! I d like to be a guide!!!!

Had a great time there! The tour guide was friendly and the free sampling at the end was great!

Tours are so good. Check on their timings before you go. They also offer a free tasting afterwards.

Not opened for gifts or anything. Super disappointing!!

I thought the tour was great, very informative and interesting. I would recommend it.

Very interesting brewery tour! A bit of the history of both the Yuengling company and the brewery building itself. Gift shop had a large selection at good prices. Staff were friendly and able to answer all questions.

Awesome tour! Very enthusiastic and friendly guide, place had history and stories. Free beer sampling at the end was cool too!

Awesome time. Tour guides were knowledgeable and the experience was 10/10

INFORMATIVE LOCAL BREWERY TOUR
Looking for something to do in Tampa which is complimentary and offers tasting samples? Yuengling Brewery offers free tours of their Brew Factory many times a day so, the Kid and I were in!
Yuengling IS the oldest Brewery in the US! It originally began in Pottsville, Pa in 1829, that's 191 years old.
YEP! It beats out it's Budweiser, the competition by several years. BW was "born" in 1852. The Eagle is original to Yuengling and when BW decided to sue Yuengling for the Eagle copyright, BW lost.
Back to the tour. The tour is very casual but, organized. Meet in the Guest Center, sign in the guest book, grab a wristband and then wait for the tour to begin. While waiting, one can browse the Gift Shop, walk the grounds or enjoy a beer before the Tour.
A short oral presentation along with a short film is given at the beginning of the tour. You will be split into smaller groups (no more than 20 people) so, you can hear the Guide's complete description as you move from building to building. HEADS UP: NO photos are allowed in the interior except for the Guest Center. Yuengling is very sensitive to their formula and processing. It's ok, cause you can still take some great exterior photos.
The tour last for about 90 minutes. There are stairs and it's all walking so, wear comfy shoes. Parking is also FREE. Q & A's are encouraged!
After the tour, you can enjoy popcorn and 2 complimentary samples back at the Guest Center.
Great 1st date!

Great informative tour. They're skimpy on the free beer samples at the end.

I have never been to a brewery before and being able to go and get a tour of the Yuengling Factory in Tampa was so cool! The tour guide Tricia taught me a lot of the process for making beer at Yuengling, she was great, and at the end of the tour while sampling the beer I found a new favorite! AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!

They load pretty fast. It has parking space for truck in front of the warehouse.

GREAT BEER,THEY LOVE AMERICA AND US VETERANS . STOPPED BY TODAY AFTER EARLY VOTING HAD A FEW SAMPLE BEERS GOT A FEW T SHIRTS A GLASS.THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL GO TAKE THE TOUR.

Scene the old brewery and tasted the fine ale received a free pint glass for our beer thanks.

Unbelievable that they can't at least have one unique beer to take home. May take the tour but other than that a little disappointing

Great tour. Polite guides. Awesome beer. Porter / Black & Tan.

Very cool tour, Suzanne was friendly and knowledgeable. Their gift shop is reasonably priced and tours end with free beer! Worth your time if you're a fan of this or any brew.

Great tour of the history behind Yuengling. Elizabeth does a great job every time!!

We had a great tour of the plant, and enjoyed tasting all the beers they grew.

Just recently moved to Tampa and am an avid fan of their lager. So I finally made the time to go and I'm glad I did. This isn't one of those tours that just seem to drag on and on. This tour is just the right amount of time and our guide was very well spoken and laid back. Would go back again when I have family/friends visit. Definitely recommend it.

The Yuengling brewing tour was really cool! It was so interesting when I learned that they made ice cream and how they survived the depression. It was also really funny that the made delivered Victory Beer to the White House on the day the ban was lifted. The tour guide was unbelievable and showed a very old knowledge of the company. Tricia showed incredible hospitality and I will definitely be back to see her!

Great tour. We went on Friday and no production going on. Make sure to call first. Would have liked to see that.

What a fantastic experience. We came here to have some samples, check out the gift shop and possibly do the free tour.

We didn t do the tour but we really enjoyed ourselves with Eleana and Susan. Both lady s were super friendly and helpful.

We bought some good stuff in the gift shop and had a great time talking with the ladies working here.

Awesome tour guide! She was the best and free beer tasting at the end! Didn't even know Yuengling had a brewery here.

Had a great time!! Enjoyed the tour and cool gift shop!!

Very interesting and informative. Free samples at the end!

Slow loading, other wise a good experience, no ovrnite prkng

Love this place. Very informative tour and delicious beer!

A one hour walking tour. There are step's and it's not handicap friendly. Sampling of at the end of the tour.

Tour is free, our tour guide was Suzanne. She gave us some of the history of the company and walked us though the brewery. At the end we got 2 samples each of whatever you want. Tours are at 10 and 1 on Saturdays

Nice little tour and some historical information about beer. Some cool shwag to buy also. Plus you get to get a couple little samples of fresh beer.

Great tour! Sample beer at the end of each tour. The gift shop offers plenty of choices for the souvenir collector. I would really like to do the Pottsville tour.

Free (comedy included) tour with tastings at the end.

Very interesting, history, beer information, and merchendise. I recommend everyone check it out if they are in the area. And it's FREE!!

I just went to Yuengling gift shop. They have some pretty cool things in there. The tour itself is amazing and very educational and free with some beer tasting at the end.

Its absolutely rediculous that when making a delivery here there is no working number or information for a phone number or security station please update things suck as overnight parking, anohone number to speak with someone concerning early or late arrival, trucking is not an exact science! But it is your product were hauling!
