D.G. Yuengling & Son hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Yuengling Draft Haus & Kitchen.

The brewery, based in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, was acquired by the Yuengling Family in 1999 and announced that it would redevelop the Tampa property back in 2019.

The redevelopment comes as business and civic leaders try to rouse private sector interest in the area around the University of South Florida.

Here are the following amenities the brewery will include:

A 200-room, 140,000-square-foot hotel

12,700-square-foot restaurant

7,000-square-foot museum gift shop

5,500-square-foot microbrewery and/or tasting room of the same size

5,300-square-foot indoor/outdoor beer garden

5,900 square feet of conference/meeting space

The brewery has been a partner to USF for years, from the naming rights of the former Sundome to funding scholarships for the brewery arts program at the St. Petersburg campus.
