D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery®, announced Tuesday its multi-year partnership with the Philadelphia Phillies and new designation as an “Official Lager of the Philadelphia Phillies.”
As a sponsor of the Phillies since 2017, this extended partnership will continue to bring together two beloved Pennsylvania icons and provide new ways for fans to cheer on the Phillies.
Ahead of the 2020 regular baseball season, Yuengling will roll out new, limited-edition Phillies Yuengling Lager cans emblazoned with the retro Phillies logo. Whether at home or at Citizens Bank Park, fans of Yuengling and the Phillies can enjoy the delicious and iconic taste of Yuengling Traditional Lager, while proudly showing support for their favorite baseball team. These special Phillies Yuengling Lager cans will be available on shelves in 12-pack cans in select markets, or at Citizens Bank Park in 16-ounce cans.
“We’re so thrilled to combine America’s Oldest Brewery and America’s favorite pastime, both rooted in history and tradition, through our long-term partnership with the Philadelphia Phillies,” said Wendy Yuengling, Chief Administrative Officer and 6th generation family member, D.G.
