America's oldest brewery expands to Wisconsin (Yuengling)

Beer and Wisconsin go together like brats and, well, beer. But for quite some time, a bottle from America's oldest brewery has not been available in the Badger State.

That's changing soon.

Yuengling on Monday announced it will expand its distribution into Wisconsin starting next year. The brewer began selling its beer in Illinois earlier this year.

"As a 6th-generation family brewer, our family has always believed that great beer brings people together," Chief Administrative Officer Wendy Yuengling said. "Each new state we enter feels like welcoming more people into the Yuengling family."

Founded in Pottsville, Pa. in 1829, Yuengling holds the title of America's oldest-operating brewery. In 2020, the brewer announced a joint venture with Molson Coors allowing it to expand its sales into the Midwest and further west.

Good beer. Popular here in Ohio.

Still unavailable in Arizona.

As much as I like Yuengling, I prefer to support the many local craft breweries in the Valley of the Sun.

Most of them seem to be IPAs, which I have no interest in. Some of the ones I tried were not great. A few others have mildly vulgar names that I do not care to associate with. I am not a heavy beer drinker, but 805 (from California) is good.

America's oldest brewery has not been available in the Badger State. ... Yuengling

Really? WOW. I was wondering if they were still around. I encountered it at a MLB stadium back in the day when I watched MLB.

Full disclosure: I don't like beer.

Although IPAs are still popular, the trend in craft beer is moving towards traditional lagers and pilsners (my favorite), which might explain why Yuengling is expanding its territory.

Agree on the Pilsner. I like the Italian Peroni a lot, but it is also part of the duopoly.

I discovered Yuengling while vacationing in Sunny Florida 30-some years ago. We would pack every bit of empty space in the car with the stuff when it was time to head back to Misery.

A few years back they began selling here and I drank enough of the stuff to float an ocean liner.

I don’t drink much these days. Racetrack weekends and an occasional get-together/BBQ/etc. at the house, but when I do want a beer it’s going to be either Yuengling or STAG, with a Ranger Imperial Voodoo (Mrs. Augie’s favorite) every now and then.

In Indiana, we had Killians(Coors) draft everywhere. Then Yuengling moved in and no more Killians.

Yuengling landed in Missouri a couple years back. Sales still brisk. Good beer.

I gotta admit that I never had one until I moved to Tennessee. Now it's my favorite beer.

At the 2019 Badger-Gopher game, on ESPN’s College Game Day, a kid held a sign for the entire show that read:

“Spotted Cow is Just Okay”

Talk about fighting words.
