URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — Monday was a big day for some beer drinkers. It was the first time that Yuengling was filling up glasses across the state.

Bunny’s Tavern was the first place in Urbana to offer it to customers. Some people got to the bar at 7 a.m. to get a free pint glass and a much-anticipated taste of the beer.

This came after Yuengling announced last year that they’d start distributing in Illinois.

“For the first 30 days, Yuengling will only be available in bars and restaurants,” Bunny’s Tavern General Manager Ben Manns said. “It’s not going to be available in stores until, my understanding is, March 1, so until then, you have to come out to a bar or restaurant if you want some Yuengling.”

Manns said it makes sense that Bunny’s Tavern is the first to serve the beer in the city. That’s because they are the oldest bar in Urbana and Yuengling is the oldest brewery in the country.

Pia’s Sports Bar in Champaign is also pouring up the beer. Yuengling said they’ll be on shelves across the state in the coming weeks
