POTTSVILLE, Pa., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America's Oldest Brewery^® today announced the first step in its westward expansion with distribution of its iconic beers into Texas later this year.

Yuengling & Son, Inc. "We are working hard to ensure our recipes and brewing traditions will be followed to our high-quality standards. We have passionate Yuengling fans in Texas, so we are excited to finally bring them the goods."

Yuengling's beers will be brewed locally by Texans at the Molson Coors Ft. Worth brewery. The Yuengling family and its team of brewers are working hand-in-hand with the skilled team at Molson Coors to deliver the rich tradition and quality that is associated with America's Oldest Brewery.

"We are excited to take the first step in our long-brewing partnership, a step that will provide tremendous growth opportunity for Yuengling and Molson Coors, said Gavin Hattersley, President and CEO of Molson Coors Beverage Company.  "By brewing Yuengling's iconic beer at our world-class Ft. Worth facility, we are going to make a lot of Texans happy."
