YuenglingGoldenPilsD.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. (Pottsville, Pennsylvania) has officially announced that Yuengling Golden Pilsner will join its iconic core product portfolio in April 2018.

Arriving as the first new Year-Round beer to debut for Yuengling in 17 years and the “first for [the] sixth generation of brewers at America’s Oldest Brewery®”, Golden Pilsner has been developed with an “all malt” – no adjuncts added – recipe that “combines pale and specialty malts, and Hallertau and Saaz hops, to create a bold, noble hop flavored brew with a smooth, clean finish.”  Weighing in at a light and refreshing 4.7% ABV and 135 calories, Yuengling Golden Pilsner strives to supply beer drinkers with a “New Standard in Refreshment”.

“Yuengling Golden Pilsner is our unique interpretation of a refreshing pilsner, with all of the qualities consumers have come to expect from Yuengling in a beer that is highly sessionable and full of flavor,” said Jen Yuengling, 6th generation brewer, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. “We continue to listen to our fans and we saw an opportunity to deliver a new Yuengling beer that complements our core portfolio of iconic beers including Traditional Lager, Light Lager, and Black & Tan.”
