When prohibition hit the Yuengling Brewery, the brewery started making Ice Cream to survive. Production of this Ice Cream ceased in 1985. Jump forward to 2013 and while it is no longer affiliated with the brewery, Yuengling Ice Cream will return. Details from the Citizens Voice:
Frank D. Yuengling started Yuengling's Ice Cream to supplement the brewery's revenue during Prohibition. In 1929, the company expanded with branches in Allentown and York and changed its name the following year to Yuengling Dairy Products and started producing its own milk and cream.
Ownership was transferred to Frederick Yuengling Sr. in 1935. David Yuengling's father, Frederick G. "Fritz" Yuengling Jr., became company president in 1963. Yuengling's Dairy ceased production in 1985.
Yuengling's Ice Cream is unaffiliated with the Pottsville brewery. David Yuengling, 51, of Orwigsburg, is second-cousin to Richard L. "Dick" Yuengling, president and owner of the brewery, and grew up in Pottsville.
