Yuengling beer expands to Michigan starting Aug. 11
It's the moment Michigan beer lovers have been waiting for — and no, you're not being punked this time. Yuengling, America's oldest brewery, is officially coming to the Great Lakes state this summer. Eastown Distributors, based in northeast Wayne County and one of the companies selected to distribute the beer in Michigan, confirmed the news on Friday, June 6. "Beer drinkers in the state of Michigan have been anticipating this for years," an Eastown Distributors spokesperson told the Free Press. Detroit is among the cities where Yuengling will be available, starting on Aug. 11. A full list of locations and availability dates across the state has yet to be announced. D.G. Yuengling & Son Inc. was founded in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, in 1829 by David G. Yuengling. It remains family-owned. The company has flirted with expanding to Michigan before, fueling hopes and sparking rumors that never quite panned out. That history made some long-skeptical Michiganders cautious even as the news broke out.

"I sure hope this is true," another person commented. Nour Rahal is a trending and breaking news reporter. Email her: nrahal@ Follow her on Twitter @nrahal1.

Monroe couple revives Memory Lane Drive-In just weeks after closure announcement
Only weeks after stunning its fans with news of its closure, Memory Lane Drive-In Theater is staging an unexpected return — revived by a local couple with plans to reopen on Memorial Day weekend. "We have worked with a local couple from Monroe since the announcement of Memory Lane closing and they are ready to light the big screen back up again," read a May 7 post on the theater's Facebook page. For its reopening weekend, May 23-25, the outdoor theater will feature two double features across its two screens. Screen 1 will showcase the family-friendly animated film "Lilo & Stitch" at 9:30 p.m., followed by "Thunderbolts" at 11:30 p.m. Screen 2 will cater to horror fans with "Sinners" starting at 9:35 p.m., and "Clown in a Cornfield" at midnight. Gates open an hour before showtime, and audio will be broadcast over FM 88.5. More: 9 Michigan drive-ins are keeping a nostalgic tradition alive: See the locations The news comes after Memory Lane announced its closure on April 18, citing the same struggles many drive-ins nationwide have faced in recent years. "In the last four years, 35% of the remaining drive-ins in the United States have closed their doors forever citing a combination of multiple reasons including but not limited to poor attendance, streaming, and lack of concessions support," the drive-in wrote in a post at the time. "The last one is key, especially for drive-ins. Memory Lane has suffered the same fate for the same reasons." Located at 6501 N. Monroe St., Memory Lane Drive-In first opened in 2021 on the site of the former Denniston Drive-In, which closed in 1985. While the couple behind the revival has not been publicly named, the Monroe drive-in is encouraging community support to help the venue thrive. "Please show them the support necessary to keep Memory Lane Drive-In around for years to come," the reopening announcement continued. "If this message has reached you and you're not in the vicinity to support us, then please support your local drive-in as they are truly a very special part of American history and lots of fun for all ages." It's unclear what the drive-in schedule will be after Memorial Day weekend. The Detroit Free Press reached out to Memory Lane Drive-In Theater for comment but did not receive a response. Reopening weekend tickets can be purchased here. For more information, visit or A list of all of the remaining Michigan drive-in theaters is available here.
