Pottsville, PA, September 2011 – D.G.
Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery, is pleased to announce
that it is expanding the distribution of its highly sought after brands
to the neighboring state of Ohio.
Twenty two wholesalers have been
assigned to distribute Yuengling products in the state. Yuengling
welcomes the following Ohio distributors: Beerco Distributing Co.,
C&G Distributing – Lima and Versailles, Choice Brands of Ohio, City
Beverage Company, Classic Brands – Athens and Chillicothe,
Columbus
Distributing Co.,
Delmar
Distributing Co.,
Dickerson
Distributing Co. (Butler, Warren and Preble Counties),
Heidelberg Dist. Co. – Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio Valley Wine &

and Treu House of Munch.
To accommodate the needs of the state, the
initial rollout of the Yuengling Lager, Light Lager, and Black & Tan
brands will occur in two stages. The northeastern portion of the state,
to include the markets of Cleveland and Columbus, will commence in
October. The remainder of the state, to include the markets of Toledo
and Cincinnati, will follow in November.
“Consumer awareness of our brands is very
high in Ohio,” commented Pat Noone, Yuengling Business Development
Manager. “Retailers in the state have anticipated our arrival for a long
time, and it’s exciting to finally bring Yuengling Beer to our neighbors
in Ohio.”
Ohio is currently the only state to border
Yuengling’s home state of Pennsylvania where the popular beer is not
distributed. Capacity was added to Yuengling’s Mill Creek Brewery in
order to accommodate the expected demand in what will be the 14th
state in the brewery’s distribution footprint.

Wholesale distribution territory, based on public records.
