POTTSVILLE, Pa. — One day in 1980, John Callahan was driving carefully down the steep Mahantongo Street in this Schuylkill County town when he spied a person standing outside the D.G. Yuengling and Sons Brewery.
Mr. Callahan, who had lost his job four days earlier, was desperate to find employment, so he slowed down and on a whim shouted out his car window at the guy: “Hey, buddy. Any jobs?”
“I really didn’t expect him to even answer me,” said Mr. Callahan, as he gave me a tour of the deep cellar of the ancient brewery. “To my astonishment, he waved me over and said, ‘Come on in.’ His name was Ray Norbert. He was the brew master at the time, and he hired me that day.”
Mr. Callahan started scrubbing the floors and cleaning the massive tanks. Today, 43 years later, he is the plant manager, overseeing America’s oldest brewery, which has been in operation and owned by the same family since Andrew Jackson was in his first term as president.
