When is the brewing company which David G. Yuengling founded established
James River Steam Brewery Cellars The James River Steam Brewery Cellars are an historic series of brewery-related tunnels near the Rocketts Landing development on the James River in Henrico County, Virginia. The stone-lined barrel-vaulted tunnels were built c. 1866, and are the only surviving remains of the James River Steam Brewery, which operated on the site between 1866 and 1879. The brewery was owned by David G. Yuengling, Jr., son of David Yuengling, the founder of the Yuengling brewery in Pennsylvania, and two business partners. At its height, the brewery complex included a beer garden and park that remained popular even after the brewery closed in 1879. Most of the brewery's buildings were destroyed by fire in 1891. The walls of the surviving tunnels are lined with dressed ashlar granite. The west walls, which have the tunnel openings, are overgrown; only small portions of the north and south walls are visible above ground.
List of breweries in Australia Beer production in Australia has traditionally been dominated by regional producers. Since the 1980s there has been a steady stream of takeovers and amalgamations, and now the two major producers (who were once Australian owned) are Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) and Lion. In December 2011, CUB became a subsidiary of British multinational SABMiller (the then world second largest international brewing company) and in October 2016 CUB became 100% owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) the world's largest brewing company based in Belgium. Since October 2009, Lion has been a subsidiary of Japanese brewer, Kirin Holdings Company Limited a brewing company established in 1885. The largest remaining Australian owned brewer is Coopers Brewery with a market share of about 4% of total beer volume sales in Australia.
