Yuengling Tampa, FL Planning to Double Capacity To 2.5 Million Barrels

Interesting news for Yuengling coming from the Business Observer:

At Yuengling’s Tampa brewery, the company’s sole location outside of Pottsville, Pa., Plant Manager Andy Pickerell and Jim Helmke, chief operating officer, guide the plant’s growth as it builds a new, state-of-the-art brewhouse that will more than double its capacity, to 2.5 million barrels a year. The brewhouse is expected to open in April.

But Yuengling’s managers have no intention of doubling their production right away. Nor do they intend to hire a batch of new employees to handle rising sales, or beef up management. The plant runs lean, and that’s how they want it, as they rein in costs and learn from missteps that cost other brewers their livelihood.
