Yuengling has announced the availability of its flagship beers on draft in Illinois. This expansion allows consumers in the state to choose from a range of the brewery’s well-known products, including Yuengling Traditional Lager and FLIGHT by Yuengling, which is marketed as a new generation of light beer.
Wendy Yuengling, Chief Administrative Officer and a sixth-generation family member of D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., expressed the company’s commitment to expanding its presence in the Midwest. She acknowledged the support received from fans in Illinois who have been anticipating the arrival of Yuengling beers in local bars and restaurants. This move reflects the brewery’s nearly 200-year history of producing quality lagers, porters, and ales.
Consumers of legal drinking age can track the availability of Yuengling’s products in Illinois by using the “Find Our Beer” feature on the company’s website. To mark the introduction of their beers in the state, Yuengling representatives will be visiting various locations for sampling events.
Colin Callahan, General Manager of The Yuengling Company, highlighted the brewery’s diverse range of beers, emphasizing their craftsmanship and suitability for different tastes and occasions. Following the draft launch in late January, Yuengling beers will also be available in cans and bottles in early March at various retail outlets, restaurants, and bars throughout Illinois.
