Before I give you the article, I just want to preface this by saying that my 2 year campaign to have this beer sold in West Virginia has a happy ending!

Pa. brewer Yuengling enters W.Va. beer market
by The Associated Press

CHARLESTON , W.Va. -- West Virginia fans of Yuengling beer are a determined lot. They'll travel to Virginia, Maryland or Pennsylvania to pick up a six-pack of their favorite brew.

But they won't have to do that much longer. Yuengling plans to start selling beer in West Virginia in April.

Chief Operating Officer David Casinelli said Monday that the Pottsville, Pa.-based brewer waited until there was sufficient demand and an adequate statewide distribution network to enter the West Virginia market.

Casinelli says he expects the launch of Yuengling in West Virginia to be the company's best ever.

The nation's oldest brewer sells beer in 12 states and Washington, D.C.

Yuengling is great! I was in a wedding in Iowa and the groomsmen were talking about how wonderful it is. They were talking about making trip to PA just to get a case.

The groom had each of them shipped a 6-pack as their groomsmen gifts.

I keep adding more reasons to want to move back there.

I've drank it before and it is good. I went to Pottsville with an old military buddy that was from there a long time ago and we went to a bar that had it on tap. If it makes it down to the southern part of the state I'll buy some.
