Arkansas becomes the 21st state in the brewery’s footprint. The January rollout will include Yuengling’s flagship beer, Yuengling Traditional Lager, as well as Light Lager and Black & Tan brands.
D.G. Yuengling & Son is partnering with five wholesalers to bring its brands to consumers in Arkansas. Yuengling welcomes to its network Glazer’s Beer & Beverage, Premium Brands of NWA, Arkansas Distributing Company, O’Connor Distributing and Burford Distributing, Inc.
“Our consumers in Arkansas have been asking for our beer for many years,” said Dick Yuengling, owner and president. “We’re pleased and eager about this expansion into the great state of Arkansas. This is a celebratory moment for America’s Oldest Brewery.”
Yuengling, operating since 1829, is the largest craft brewery in the country, according to the Brewer’s Association’s most recent assessment. The company has sat atop the list since 2014 when the association changed its definition of what can be considered a craft brewery.
