The Yuengling 1800s-style beer packaging has been unveiled by the brewery as a lineup of six cans that are all inspired by the humble beginnings of the company to celebrate its inception.
Marking the 190th anniversary of America's oldest brewery, the cans will be released individually from now until April 2019 and each feature a design that is reminiscent of what you might have seen back in the 1800s in terms of branding. The brewery will also be releasing a bourbon barrel-aged beer (Bourbon Barrel Reserve) which has been interestingly produced; after being placed in barrels, the beer was placed in Prohibition-era hand-dug caves for 120 days to impart a distinct level of flavor that comes with a great backstory.
The Yuengling 1800s-style beer packaging will be appreciated by beer and history aficionados alike.
