Lehighton is getting a tasting room, but will be a bit different than what you’re used to.

D.G. Yuengling & Sons said it is now ready to begin the westward expansion that it announced last year – first stop Texas.

Rogelio Castillo, owner and CEO of Cerveza Rrëy USA, said Lehigh Valley beer drinkers should expect something completely different when his company begins operations later this year.

Starting a new micro-brewery in the current competitive market would be a challenge for anyone, but throw in a global pandemic and there’s a whole host of obstacles to overcome. Those challenges aren’t dissuading Matt Andersen from his longtime dream of launching his own beer.

Now as the Yuengling, America's oldest brewery, prepares to expand from its current 22-state East Coast footprint and become a national brand, the company is ready to become a national favorite and residents of Pottsville are excited to share their hometown beer.

Pottsville-based D.G. Yuengling & Sons Inc. is heading west. The family-owned craft brewer, which is the nation’s oldest continually operating brewery, has inked a deal with Molson Coors Beverage Co. to launch a long-term brewing partnership, that expand Yuengling’s 22-state distribution footprint the farthest west it’s been available.

A Reading-based pretzel manufacturer is participating in what is turning out to be a fairly “unique” national marketing effort.

If you have some brew your willing to spare – particularly if you’re a local brewery – the folks at Christmas City Spirits in Bethlehem are hoping you’ll donated it to them to help with their effort to make hand sanitizer for area health care and emergency services providers.

As a sponsor of the Major League Baseball team the Philadelphia Phillies since 2017, D.G. Yuengling & Sons has now signed a deal with the team to be the Official Lager of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Pottsville’s D. G. Yuengling & Sons, having long ago shed its image as a small, regional coal country brewery, is ready to take flight with a new, upscale light beer.
