The full release from Yuengling is below.
POTTSVILLE, Pa. — D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery, has announced its partnership with Philadelphia Phillies’ pitcher Aaron Nola. Nola is one of the first active, MLB players to have a partnership with a beer brand.
Yuengling has been a sponsor of the Philadelphia Phillies since 2017, and this new, individual, partnership with Nola further strengthens the relationship between America’s Oldest Brewery and the Phillies.
“Yuengling holds a special spot in my heart,” said Nola. “I had my first Yuengling Lager after being drafted by Philadelphia and I haven’t looked back. The fact that America’s Oldest Brewery is family owned and operated is important to me as I value family over everything. I love cracking open a cold Yuengling whether it’s a day fishing with my dad and brother back in Louisiana or after a big game.”
