Yuengling Getting Back in the Ice Cream Business


Now you’ll be able to go to the local ice cream shop and order a lager, right?

A branch of the Yuengling family will re-launch its storied ice cream early in 2014, bringing back a cherished Pennsylvania-made product that’s been absent from store shelves and scooping stands for nearly three decades. But don’t look for a Lager flavored scoop anytime soon. Though the family name is one and the same, Yuengling’s Ice Cream is unaffiliated with the Yuengling brewery, a company news release said.

“We are extremely proud to be reintroducing such a beloved product,” said David Yuengling, president of Yuengling’s Ice Cream. “Started by my great grandfather, Frank D. Yuengling during Prohibition, our ice cream brand is steeped in history. We plan to build on the family legacy, maintaining the highest standards of quality and value.”
