Yuengling beer spreads to Texas as first westward growth movement

Yuengling is coming to Texas this year.

GM Yuengling & Son has announced that the first state in its westward expansion will be Texas, as it partners with Molson Coors to brew its beers in Lone Star State.

Yuengling is the oldest brewery in the United States. The Pottsville, Pennsylvania-based brewer currently distributes its beer in 22 states, from Massachusetts to Louisiana.

Last fall, GM Yuengling and Molson Coors announced their collaboration to expand Yuengling’s availability to other states under the banner of their new company Yuengling.

“We have heard from consumers across the country who are delighted to enjoy our beer, which is why we are proud to announce that Texas will be the first western state in which we expand,” Wendy Yuengling, head of the ‘administration officer, said in a written statement.
