Indiana Beverage and Yuengling partnership

Indiana has welcomed the country's oldest craft brewery, Yuengling, with Indiana Beverage being one of three companies distributing Yuengling in the state. Indiana Beverage, Monarch Beverage, and Five Star Distributing are the three wholesalers assigned to distribute Yuengling products in the state. Indiana Beverage celebrated the launch of Yuengling Beer in Indiana markets at Star Plaza Theater, with over 500 retailers across the region in attendance. The night also served as an introduction to the Yuengling brand, with various styles of Yuengling beer available to sample.

Indiana Beverage's VP of Sales and Marketing, Bob Jacobs, said, "They passed on the tradition of brewing beer for generations and even survived prohibition, which many breweries couldn't do." Before Yuengling's release in Indiana, the only way Hoosiers could purchase the beer was to cross state lines. Indiana Beverage's President, Jon Leetz, commented, "2017 is going to be a great year. We're looking forward to selling a lot of beer!"

The partnership between Indiana Beverage and Yuengling has been a long time coming, with discussions taking place over about 10 years. The two companies have similar cultures and are both in their fifth generation of family ownership. Indiana Beverage started as a grocery store in the 1870s and entered the beer business in 1939, growing to have a very broad beer portfolio.

On March 6, 2017, Yuengling beer became available in Indiana bars and restaurants, with the beers Traditional Lager, Light Lager, and Black & Tan on offer. Then, on April 3, 2017, Yuengling became available in Indiana stores, marking the official launch of the brand in the state. Indiana became the 20th state to sell the storied brew and the 20th state featuring Yuengling in stores.

Yuengling's expansion to Indiana

Yuengling, America's oldest brewery, expanded to Indiana in 2017, marking the 188-year-old company's 20th state of operation. The expansion to Indiana was a significant milestone, with Pat Flynn, vice president of Indiana Beverage, one of the distributors, calling it "the largest beer launch the state has had since 1991."

Indiana Beverage, Monarch Beverage, and Five Star Distributing were the three distributors chosen to bring Yuengling to the Hoosier State. Indiana Beverage, in particular, had been in discussions with Yuengling for about 10 years before the expansion. The family-owned company's similar culture and values to Yuengling helped foster a strong relationship between the two.

Yuengling's rollout in Indiana began in March 2017, with its flagship beer, the Traditional Lager, as well as the Light Lager and Black & Tan brands. The beers were initially made available in bars and restaurants, with store sales commencing in April. This strategy allowed customers to taste the beer served with the proper glassware and at the optimum temperature, increasing the likelihood of future purchases in stores.

The expansion to Indiana was part of Yuengling's continued westward distribution, which included Texas in 2021 and Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma in 2023. The company's careful approach to expansion ensures they can meet demand and uphold their commitment to delivering high-quality beer drinking experiences in new markets.
