“Yuengling is excited to become a proud sponsor of University of Kentucky Athletics,” said Wendy Yuengling, Chief Administration Officer and 6th Generation Family Member, at D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. “We began distributing in Kentucky in 2018 and have established a loyal consumer following. We are eager to connect with fans of a storied university and athletic program like Kentucky Athletics, both in-game and at-home, and introduce even more consumers to the Oldest Brewery in America.”
Legal-drinking-age fans of the Kentucky Wildcats can look forward to enjoying Yuengling’s flagship Lager and the upscale light brand, FLIGHT by Yuengling – while cheering on the Wildcats. Yuengling Traditional Lager is a true original, known for its rich amber color and medium-bodied flavor that delivers a well-balanced taste with distinct character.

A leader in the light beer refreshment category, FLIGHT contains 2.6 grams of carbs, 95 calories and 4.2% ABV. The partnership will serve to bring together two beloved and historic brands while providing new ways for legal-drinking-age fans to cheer on the Wildcats.
