U.s brewing history
Brewing beer in America dates back long before Europeans arrived, when Native Americans brewed beer from a variety of ingredients. They fermented their beer using corn, birch sap, and water. When the first colonists arrived in Virginia, they began combining their brewing traditions with the available ingredients – and corn, too. Since then, brewing and brewers have been a key occupation in the colonies. Interestingly, the first white child born in Manhattan grew up to be America's first brewer.
Today, the brewery established by David G. Yuengling is the country's oldest operating brewery. In 1829, he founded the Eagle Brewery. To this day, the brewery is still in the family.
