Yuengling is an Anglicized version of ''[[Jüngling (surname)|Jüngling]]'', its founder's surname and the German term for a "young person” or "youngster". The family-owned brewery has traditionally changed ownership through the purchase of the company by the children of the previous owner.<ref name="Bryson">{{cite book |last=Bryson |first=Lew |title=Pennsylvania Breweries |edition=3rd |publisher=Stackpoles Books |location=Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania |year=2005 |isbn=0-8117-3222-3}}</ref> The flagship product is Yuengling Traditional Lager, an [[amber lager]].
