The nearly two-century wait is finally over. Yuengling beer, the pride of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and the oldest brewery in America, is now on tap in Chicago.

Now the biggest challenge may be trudging out in the cold, finding Yuengling at your local watering hole, and, for newbies, pronouncing the name. It’s “Ying-Ling.” Tap on our bio link to read more. —— Photo 1: In March, Yuengling will launch package sales at Illinois retailers with its full portfolio in cans and bottles, including Light Lager, Black & Tan and Golden Pilsner.
