In 1920, Frank D. Yuengling, President of D.G. Yuengling & Sons Brewery, started a separate company, Yuengling’s Ice Cream, to generate new revenue for the Yuengling family due to the start of Prohibition (18th Amendment). The ice cream plant is constructed at 5th and Mahantongo Street in Pottsville, PA.

Between 1929 and 1931 business increases and the ice cream plant expands several times through the purchase of 410 and 412 Mahantongo Street, and 10  S. 5th Street.  Additional branches are established in Allentown, PA and York, PA.

Name of company is changed from Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation to Yuengling Dairy Products Corporation when it starts processing and distributing milk.

Frederick G. Yuengling Sr. takes over as President.  With the end of Prohibition in 1933 (21st Amendment), full ownership of Yuengling Dairy Products is transferred to Frederick G. Yuengling Sr.  Frank D. Yuengling goes back to running D.G. Yuengling & Son Brewery full time.

The Dairy celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Frederick G. “Fritz” Yuengling Jr. takes over as President.

The Dairy celebrates its 50th anniversary.

The family tradition comes to an end when the last cartons of Yuengling’s Classic Ice Crem are made. The Yuengling family makes the difficult decision to stop production and close the plant. The building is donated to St. Patrick’s Church.
