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. More: Ferndale Project, brewery known for experimenting, to distribute its beers statewide "Hard to believe that it may happen after all the teasing that has happened over the years," one person wrote in the 'Bring Yuengling to Michigan' Facebook group on June 5. "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.

The beers were primarily domestically brewed, but the wines were more international. With this, a very popular beer right now, Hahn said, is Yuengling, the country's oldest brewery, which just this year made its product available in the state. Hahn called it the 'Beanie Babies of Beer.' Saturday's music included Will Spicher, Turas Irish and Stereotypical, with Sunday capping off with Tad Johson and The Flying Dorito Brothers.

The association said 2024 was the first year since 2005 that the overall number of operating craft breweries declined nationwide. However, employment in the craft brewing sector grew 3% from the previous year, to 197,112 in 2024. The association reports that the rise was driven by the shift toward hospitality-focused models such as taprooms and brewpubs, which create more jobs in local communities. Craft brewers produced 23.1 million barrels of beer in 2024, down 4.0% from 2023. However, craft's market share by volume remained essentially flat at 13.3%, the same as the previous year, as the overall U.S. beer market declined by 1.2% in volume.
