Yuengling Brings Back Bock as Seasonal Offering for 195th Anniversary

The Oldest Brewery in America to Release Yuengling Bock in Select Markets, the Pottsville Museum & Gift Shop, and at the Tampa Yuengling Draft Haus & Kitchen

POTTSVILLE, Pa., Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of the 195 years of brewing great beers milestone, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. is bringing back a late winter and spring favorite, Yuengling Bock. The limited release will be available to legal drinking age customers in PA, NJ, DE, MD, WV, OH, IN, KY, NY Yuengling Bock will be available in 12-pack (12 oz) cans, and on draft in ¼ barrels in select markets starting mid-February, until supplies last. 

Yuengling Bock has a deep brown color and flavorful malt-forward taste, while balanced with European Noble hops. For inspiration, the brewery reached into its archives and based this all-new label and package design on the Yuengling Bock labels from the early 1940's.

"Bock beer is a nod to our rich German heritage," said Jennifer Yuengling, 6th generation family member of D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. "As long ago as the 1400s, bock beer was brewed in the Northern German city of Einbeck. This rich, malty beer started gaining popularity and is now enjoyed broadly across the globe, especially during cooler months."

Yuengling Bock was previously re-launched in 2008 as a draft-only seasonal offering. It was the first time a Bock beer was produced by Yuengling in nearly 40 years. It returned the following year in draft and package in 2009, in conjunction with Yuengling's 180th Anniversary. The brand was retired in 2014 and is now back after 10 years to be enjoyed for the brewery's 195th Anniversary.

"Yuengling Bock is one of our most popular beer styles from our past, and we continue to receive requests to bring it back. We expect this limited time offering will surprise and delight our loyal Yuengling beer drinkers," said Jennifer Yuengling.

Good Time Brewing Company Expands with Direct-to-Consumer Shipping in Time for Dry January

–Storied West Village Bar Owner Embraces N/A Wave–

NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Time Brewing Company, founded by bar industry luminary Michael "Mikey" McFerran, proudly announces the launch of direct-to-consumer sales for its non-alcoholic beer. The brand successfully debuted in New York City in Fall 2023 with a curated list of establishments such as Veselka and Attaboy, and is now available for at-home enjoyment. Nationwide shipping through goodtimebrewing.com is accessible just in time for Dry January.

Mikey McFerran, creator of Good Time Brewing and founder of NYC's The Spaniard, was inspired to enter the fast-emerging non-alcoholic brewing market following the birth of his son with a congenital heart defect in 2020. This life-changing experience led him to create a versatile and enjoyable non-alcoholic alternative for all occasions.

"We have no interest in creating a moral message about drinking or not. We're modernizing non-alcoholic beer's image, crafting appealing options for all, even seasoned drinkers," says McFerran. "There's no catch … you can commit to n/a beers for a while, dry January, or simply swap one out for your third drink of the night. It's meant to be an easy choice."

In a growing market where U.S. non-alcoholic beer increased by 30% in 2022 and is projected to rise by 20% in 2024 (Nielsen IQ), Good Time Brewing provides an alternative to non-alcoholic brands targeting athletes or wellness enthusiasts. It caters to everyone who values the experience of savoring a cold beer, whether at a bar, concert, game, or simply relaxing at home. With direct-to-consumer shipping, Good Time Brewing ensures beer enthusiasts nationwide have access to their non-alcoholic brew.

Emphasizing quality, Good Time Brewing ensures every can resembles a traditional (full-alcohol content) beer. Head Brewer Dylan Collins crafts the N/A IPA, delivering an intense yet approachable "West Coast Hazy" IPA with a balanced bitterness akin to West Coast styles and a softer, fuller body reminiscent of Hazy/New England styles. The hop profile combines citrus, resinous, and stone-fruit notes. This 'hybrid' style aims to entice beer enthusiasts and pave the way for more experimentation in the realm of non-alcoholic beer.
