PHILLY BEER WEEK

Get ready Philly, because Beer Week is about to begin! This is the second year for the ten day festival that celebrates Philadelphia’s rich brewing past and recognizes the great mix of brews that can be found throughout the city today. Yuengling is proud be a long standing part of Pennsylvania and American brewing traditions. There are 40 breweries participating in the festival this year, and over 100 locations will be holding events. The extensive list of events for the week can be found on the Philly Beer Week website. These events will be happening at participating bars and restaurants all over the city. Events included tastings, festivals, dinners, seminars, and much more. Yuengling is ready to go this year with our Lord Chesterfield draught as well as the newest addition to our current portfolio, Bock Beer on draught. Bock is available for a limited time only, so this is the perfect week to embrace 180 years of brewing excellence with Yuengling.

Where can I go and try this Bock beer? I don't want to travel 2 hours to Philly just for a taste. (I live in lebanon co.). Should I just travel to Pottsville, is it on tap at the brewery or somewhere in town? Spring is upon us could be a nice drive over the mountain. See you soon! Yuengling Beer the best there is!

The Pottsville brewery does have Bock available for sampling after the brewery tours. We love visitors, so come on up and see us! You can find complete tour information on the website.

If you are looking for Bock closer to home, try one of these establishments: Gretna Hideaway, Moose's LZ, Perseverance Fire, The Gin Mill, William Penn, and Eagles Tavern.
