originally published: 01/11/2022

(POTTSVILLE, PA) -- D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. will bring back its free festival in the brewery’s hometown of Pottsville, PA this summer. The annual celebration highlights the brewer’s Stars & Stripes program that honors our nation’s heroes and our military veterans, while bringing its loyal fans together for an amazing day of beer, food, fun and a free live concert performance. Lee Brice, an American country music star and songwriter, will headline the 2022 summer celebration concert the evening of July 9, 2022.

Lee Brice serves as an official Brand Ambassador for Yuengling Traditional Lager and Yuengling's Stars & Stripes program, which is dedicated to supporting our nation's heroes through its efforts with Team Red, White & Blue, a nonprofit organization forging America's leading health and wellness community for veterans.

“Gathering for live music, great beer and fireworks is the kind of fun we know Yuengling fans look forward to, especially during the patriotic July 4 week,” said Wendy Yuengling, Chief Administrative Officer and 6th generation family member, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. “At Yuengling, we are honored to partner with Team RWB to support our military community, while creating a great event for our loyal fans and the local community. There is no better performer than Lee Brice to help us host what is sure to be a memorable celebration of the Stars & Stripes in our hometown.”

This July 9 in Downtown Pottsville, PA, Yuengling Brewery will welcome the community to enjoy a full day of artist performances, local artisans, craft vendors and food trucks. There will be opportunities for VIP experiences, meet and greets with Lee Brice, specialty samplings of Yuengling’s iconic beers and exclusive ways to explore America’s Oldest Brewery. Attendees will also enjoy a fireworks display, courtesy of the city of Pottsville, immediately following Lee Brice’s performance.

“I couldn’t be more excited to experience this unique concert setting, where America’s Oldest Brewery has been serving Yuengling beer since 1829,” said Lee Brice. "I’m promising a concert performance, in honor of our military troops and beer fans, that won’t soon be forgotten. I’ve marked this date on my 2022 concert tour as a very special occasion and can’t wait to enjoy a Yuengling Lager surrounded by Yuengling’s fans.”
