Yuengling, America’s oldest brewer, invades the West Coast
By DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Business Writer
West Coast beer lovers, it’s pronounced YING-ling. Yuengling and Son, America’s oldest operating brewer, is partnering with Molson Coors to send its beer to western states for the first time since it began brewing in 1829. The brewery, about two hours northwest of Philadelphia, is breaking out beyond its traditional 22-state distribution area in the East. The family-owned brewery known for its cheap German-style lager will remain independent. Yuengling expects its beer will be available out west in the second half of next year.
