Where is Yuengling sold

As America's oldest brewery, it's ironic that Yuengling beer distribution hasn't reached all 50 states. Clearly, this family owned and operated brewery values the quality of its beer over expansion.

At the time of this writing, Yuengling beer is distributed to 26 states across the US, mostly east of the Mississippi River. As Yuengling's expansion continues, more and more states will slowly begin to sell Yuengling beer.

But until that happens, here are the states where Yuengling is currently sold.

When Will Yuengling Be Sold In...

Yuengling is a regional brewery and is constrained by production capacity.  Yuengling's expansion took off when it opened its second and third breweries in Pottsville and Tampa; however, this is still not enough to distribute quality beer nationwide.

Yuengling acknowledges that it intends to distribute to more states in the the future, but explains that it does not have a timeline for when that will happen.

Rest assured that, if the trend continues, Yuengling adds on average one state per year to its distribution. Could your state be next?

I'm from Pennsylvania and, in fact, my grandmother lived just a mile from the Pottsville brewery which you can tour for free. Not that it matters much, but my last name is Florida which is the other state where Yuengling brews beer.

I was born and raised in Pennsylvania and have lived in Maryland for close to 10 years, so Yuengling is pretty much always an option. My sister who lives in Arkansas now, just had Yuengling introduced to the state in 2018.

Is Yuengling beer sold in your state? Let me know below. I'd love to hear from my fellow Yuengling fans.

What Is Mead? Mead is not considered to be wine, beer, or cider. Instead of using grapes like you do for wine or grain like you would for beer, honey is used to make mead. As different is as beer is from wine, mead is a completely different category. This table compares different types of alcohol and the main ingredient use in fermentation.
