What's the Deal with Yuengling Beer? Is It Ever Coming to Michigan?

That is a question Michigan residents and fans of the regional beer brand have been asking for years.

Yuengling fans love the beer so much that there’s even a Facebook page dedicated to bringing it to the Great Lakes State. However, no matter how hard they try, it just hasn't happened yet.

Why Isn't Yuengling Beer Available in Michigan?

Yuengling beer isn’t available in Michigan primarily due to distribution limitations. What are those limitations? We're not quite sure, it's something that customers have been questioning for some time.

Over the years, Yuengling has done a good job of teasing Michigan residents with the possibility of expanding distribution to the state. There have been rumors, social media posts, and even statements from the company hinting at future plans. Yet, despite all the excitement and hype, Michigan remains just outside Yuengling’s reach.

In 2017, we were told Michigan was next on the list to get its beers, but Yuengling eventually announced that Arkansas would be instead. Yes, Yuengling, we haven't forgotten.

Things started to look up again in 2020 when Yuengling announced a new partnership with Molson Coors Beverage Company to expand the company's footprint in the United States. However, still nothing for Michigan.

Even though Yuengling, America's oldest brewery, isn't distributed in Michigan, you can still find it from time to time at certain bars, restaurants, or events where someone has brought it across state lines.

I'm sure you came here looking for answers, but unfortunately, we still don't have any. For now, you'll have to drive south to get some of that crisp, refreshing Yuengling.
