Pennsylvania’s D.G. Yuengling & Son — the oldest operating U.S. brewery — began brewing its famous suds in Texas back in May, and as of Monday, two of those brews will start flowing freely in the Alamo City.
Since Yuengling’s distribution previously reached only as far west as Louisiana, a Texas source for its easy-drinking brews is big news for lovers of the cult classic. Fans were even known to bring it across state lines to have a stock at home.
As of noonish Monday, reps were outfitting local draft rails with Yuengling’s iconic, golden eagle-topped tap handle, according to Glazer’s, the beer’s SA-area distributor. The following is starter list of establishments that will be serving the East Coast brewer’s suds this afternoon:
