D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery, has announced that its flagship beers are now officially available on draft across Illinois.
Beer enthusiasts in the state can now enjoy a selection of Yuengling’s brews, including their Yuengling® Traditional LAGER and FLIGHT by Yuengling, the Next Generation of Light Beer®.
This marks a significant expansion for the nearly 200-year-old brewery as it continues to grow its presence in the Midwest.
“As we look to further Yuengling’s presence in the Midwest, we are excited to officially begin pouring our iconic beers in Illinois as our next expansion state,” said Wendy Yuengling, Chief Administrative Officer and 6th generation family member of D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. “On behalf of our entire Yuengling family, we are humbled by the devotion we’ve received from dedicated fans in Illinois that have been eagerly awaiting Yuengling beers in their favorite bars and restaurants. This serves as a testament to the brewery’s almost 200-year commitment to brewing the highest quality Lagers, Porters, and Ales for consumers to enjoy.”
To help beer lovers locate Yuengling products, the brewery offers a "Find Our Beer" tool on their website, allowing customers to search for bars and restaurants serving their iconic beers across the state.
As part of the launch celebration, the Yuengling team will be visiting various locations throughout Illinois this week, offering beer fans sampling opportunities to enjoy their first sips of draft beer from the historic brewery.
“Along with our distributor partners, we are excited to finally bring Yuengling’s diverse portfolio of beers to our passionate fans across Illinois,” said Colin Callahan, General Manager of The Yuengling Company. “Yuengling beers are known for their distinct character and unparalleled craftsmanship, and we take pride in brewing a beer for every taste and occasion. We are eager for beer drinkers across the state to try our beers and have Yuengling become a part of their special occasions and celebrations.”
