Craft beer cans are growing up—literally! Next time you swing by your local convenience store, you might notice an impressive lineup of tall cans, typically packed with hoppy IPAs and clocking in at 19.2 ounces. But what’s behind this size choice, and why are more breweries turning to it? Let’s dig into the trend, what it means for craft beer lovers, and why it’s popping up everywhere.

New Trail Broken Heels and Double Broken Heels 19.2 oz Cans

The Magic of Convenience

One word explains the rise of the 19.2-ounce can: convenience. Firestone Walker Brewing, for instance, rolled out its Double Hopnosis IPA in this size to deliver, as they put it, “ultimate convenience.” It’s the go-to format in convenience stores, offering a simple grab-and-go option for people who want something substantial in a single serve.

As traditional beer venues face stiffer competition, gas stations and convenience stores are one bright spot. In fact, National Retail Solutions data reveals that beer sales in these stores rose 5.3% from January to March 2023, while overall beer sales in other retail outlets barely saw a 1.4% increase. Craft beer in particular jumped nearly 9% year-over-year, proving that convenience stores are a rising platform for craft brewers.

Who’s Buying the Tall Boys?

The 19.2-ounce “stovepipe” can appeals to a unique consumer—the on-the-go buyer who wants quality in a larger single serve, not a whole six-pack. Scott Powell, Marketing Director at Bell’s Brewery, which packages popular brews like Two Hearted Ale and Oberon in 19.2-ounce cans, points out that convenience store shoppers are often looking for a quick, satisfying grab to enjoy right away. And for many, that extra bit of beer makes all the difference when they’re in a rush.

With the tall cans driving dollar growth in craft beer sales, breweries are racing to join the trend. Joe Sepka from the consulting firm 3 Tier Beverages notes that 19.2-ounce cans are now the top driver of growth in craft beer, even outpacing 12-packs. NielsenIQ data confirms that sales of these cans surged 57% over the past year, a rise due partly to higher prices but mostly due to increased demand and wider availability.

Leading the Pack: The Skeleton in the Can

If you’re wondering what kicked off the trend, look no further than Voodoo Ranger. New Belgium’s Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA saw a stunning 20.9% sales increase from August 2021 to August 2022, with its eye-catching skeleton can dominating convenience store shelves. Voodoo Ranger has become synonymous with tall cans and has set the tone for other breweries wanting to capture a similar market.

But it wasn’t New Belgium that first took a chance on this size. Oskar Blues pioneered the 19.2-ounce format in 2012 with its beloved Dale’s Pale Ale, and other craft breweries soon followed suit. When Anchor Brewing decided to can its iconic Steam Beer, it also opted for the 19.2-ounce size, a move that matched shifting consumer habits as 22-ounce glass bombers lost popularity.

The 19.2 Ounce Story: Imperial Pints and ABVs

So why 19.2 ounces? This size, close to an imperial pint (20 British ounces), works well for craft brewers because it uses the same canning lines as a standard 16-ounce can. For many breweries, like Anchor, the switch was cost-effective and efficient, allowing them to deliver a larger serving without major equipment adjustments.

High ABV beers also dominate the 19.2-ounce format. A single tall can offers a satisfying drink with a stronger kick—perfect for park visits, BBQs, and other outings where lugging around a six-pack isn’t practical. As beverage journalist Kate Bernot points out, convenience store shoppers are often looking for a higher-ABV option that’s compact yet delivers the goods. In short, that 8% or 9% beer in one big can is ideal for these settings.

The Pros and Cons of Going Big

While this trend is booming, not every brewery can jump on board. Producing 19.2-ounce cans requires an investment in equipment and logistics. Only breweries with the resources to expand into convenience stores or gas stations—and the budgets to price competitively—are likely to take the plunge. Smaller craft brewers often face challenges keeping prices in the $3 to $4 range for single cans, a price point dominated by large-scale brewers with better cost efficiencies.

Despite the hurdles, breweries with larger distribution networks are finding ways to make this format pay off. As Great Lakes Brewing’s CEO Mark King notes, “While there is a slight hit on margins with the extra 3.2 ounces, the volume more than makes up for it.”

Terrapin 19.2 oz Cans

Tall Cans Are Here to Stay

With the growing popularity of stovepipe cans in convenience stores, music festivals, and sports venues, the 19.2-ounce can is here to stay. Its convenient size, appealing ABV options, and easy-to-carry nature make it perfect for consumers on the move. Whether more local breweries will join the trend remains to be seen, but as craft beer’s top growth driver, this extra-tall can has set a new standard in craft beer packaging.

On-the-Go Craft Beer: Pennsylvania’s Move to 19.2-Ounce Cans

Perpetual IPA by Troegs Independent Brewing is a popular 19.2 oz can choice

Pennsylvania breweries have increasingly embraced the 19.2-ounce can, adding a convenient single-serve option for fans of craft beer across the state. Notable breweries like Troegs Independent Brewing in Hershey have begun offering some of their popular IPAs in this larger format, making it easier for fans to grab a single can on the way to events or gatherings. Troegs’ Double Graffiti Highway, a high-ABV double IPA, is a great example, designed to pack a bold flavor punch that suits the stovepipe can format perfectly. They also have their flagship beer – Perpetual IPA as well as Sunshine Pilsner and the Troegenator Double Bock in 19.2 oz cans.

Another PA standout, Victory Brewing Company, has also adopted the 19.2-ounce can to make some of their flagship beers more accessible. Their Golden Monkey Belgian-Style Tripel, known for its robust 9.5% ABV and fruity, spicy notes, is available in this larger format, ideal for convenience store shoppers looking for something a bit more substantial. With these tall cans, Victory has tapped into a growing trend of higher-ABV brews that cater to the on-the-go drinker.

Yuengling, America’s oldest brewery based in Pottsville, has also tested the waters with 19.2-ounce cans. Their Traditional Lager, a Pennsylvania staple, is now available in this format at select locations, offering fans a familiar choice that’s ideal for a quick drink at outdoor events, concerts, and sporting venues. With the flexibility of the 19.2-ounce can, Pennsylvania breweries are giving craft beer enthusiasts the perfect mix of quality, convenience, and value. (You can even find the Yuengling Lager in 24 oz cans at select venues like Citizens Bank and other baseball stadiums.)

New Trail Brewing is also a popular local Pennsylvania choice with their Broken Heels series of 19.2 oz cans. This includes Broken Heels (IPA), Double Broken Heels (Double IPA), and different flavored variants of Broken Heels like Tropical Broken Heels.

The Ever Evolving Craft Beer Landscape

As the craft beer landscape evolves, the rise of 19.2-ounce cans shows how breweries are listening to consumer demand for convenience and variety. This taller can size has become an ideal format for Pennsylvania breweries aiming to serve on-the-go craft beer fans, with options suited for quick trips to the park, a backyard BBQ, or catching a concert. These stovepipe cans deliver just the right amount of high-quality craft beer in a size that’s easy to carry and perfect for single-serve enjoyment.

With breweries like Troegs, Victory, and even Yuengling leading the way in Pennsylvania, the 19.2-ounce trend is reshaping how and where craft beer lovers can enjoy their favorite brews. For fans, it’s all about getting a great beer in a larger single-serve format that fits their active, mobile lifestyles. And for the breweries, it’s an opportunity to broaden their reach and meet customers where they already shop—at convenience stores, gas stations, and event venues.

Whether it’s an IPA, a Belgian-style ale, or a classic lager, these big cans are here to stay. As more Pennsylvania breweries explore this trend, craft beer fans can expect to see more of their favorite brews available in 19.2-ounce sizes, making it easier than ever to enjoy quality beer anywhere, anytime.

Yuengling and Keep America Beautiful Announce 2024 Partnership, including a $50,000 Donation for Sustainability Initiatives and Special Events to Support Regional Beautification.

Yuengling and Keep America Beautiful Announce 2024 Partnership

On the first day of spring, and as mindsets shift to seasonal cleaning and neighborhood beautification, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. today announced a new 2024 partnership with Keep America Beautiful® (KAB), the largest community improvement nonprofit organization in the United States.

As part of a 2024 campaign, Yuengling will donate $50,000 and support the “Great American Cleanup®” that annually unifies and beautifies communities across the country, in a grassroots spring-cleaning movement.

“As the Oldest Brewery in America, we have embraced the importance of clean water and neighborhood beautification for 195 years,” said Debbie Yuengling, 6th generation family member of D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. “By organizing clean up events and through awareness campaigns at bars, restaurants and retail accounts, we look forward to bringing together all those who seek greener and cleaner communities.”

The Great American Cleanup is a nationwide effort spanning three months from March to May. During this time, more than three million volunteers come together to help remove litter from neighborhoods, waterways and other areas requiring trash removal.

This spring, Yuengling team members will participate in KAB state and local affiliate beatification events in Texas, Missouri, Florida and Pennsylvania.

“We’re aiming to pick up more than 10 million pieces of litter during the 2024 Great American Cleanup and great partners like Yuengling are helping to make that possible,” said Jennifer Lawson, President and CEO of Keep America Beautiful. “With their support, we’ll continue to advance our mission of cleaning and greening America while raising awareness about the impact of recycling and sustainability.”

“We share Keep America Beautiful’s commitment to ensuring our nation remains a clean, green, and beautiful place to live,” said Yuengling. “We hope that with our involvement, and by engaging our passionate and engaged fan base, we will help make a difference in 2024 and beyond.”

The Hops and Vines for Hunger 2023 Campaign

The following comes from their campaign (Our Programs) page:

Pennsylvania boasts over 800 breweries and wineries combined across the state — and that number is growing. But just as these numbers are increasing, so are the number of food insecure families and individuals across Pennsylvania. In fact, nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians struggle with hunger every day – including nearly 500,000 children.

That’s why Feeding Pennsylvania, PA Eats, and Breweries in PA are joining forces with local breweries and wineries across the state through Hops & Vines for Hunger — a month-long, statewide fundraiser throughout November. The campaign will aim to:

• Raise funds to maximize the work of Feeding Pennsylvania’s 9 member food banks and serve Pennsylvanians facing hunger;
• Support the development of nutrition education resources created by PA Eats to educate food-insecure Pennsylvanians on how to prepare simple, accessible meals with affordable, healthy ingredients commonly found in food pantries;
• Promote the support of local breweries and wineries across the Commonwealth.

Yuengling Brewery – America’s Oldest Craft Brewery

Yuengling Begins To Take the Market Share From Number One Selling Beer Bud Lite

Yuengling seems poised to claim a new title as “America’s number one,” building on its reputation as the nation’s oldest craft brewery—a distinction that sometimes gets overlooked online. The brewery, based in Pottsville, is reportedly encroaching on the market share of America’s best-selling beer, Bud Light.

A recent Newsweek report highlighted a shift in beer popularity in bars and restaurants, showing Bud Light falling to fourth place in terms of popularity, while Yuengling’s market share has expanded. This shift brings the Pennsylvania-based brewery closer to becoming the top beer in America. Data from Bump Williams Consulting indicates that Bud Light’s market share has increased by 8.1%, whereas Yuengling experienced a substantial 25% growth in market share over the same period, moving it up the ranks among America’s largest breweries.

(See our articles on Top Producers in Beer:

• Top 50 Overall Brewing Companies (2023)

• Top 50 Craft Brewing Companies in the United States (2023)

This shift appears to be influenced by the negative reaction Bud Light has faced since early 2023. The brand has been losing market share following its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in March of that year, a move that has been widely covered and critiqued in the media.

Yuengling has somewhat capitalized on Bud Light’s misstep. Following the controversy, Yuengling took a veiled jab at Bud Light on Twitter, highlighting the latter’s connection to Anheuser-Busch, which is owned by a foreign entity. This detail has prompted some consumers to switch to Yuengling, seeking an American-made beer option.

The impact of Yuengling’s rising sales on Pennsylvania’s beer production remains uncertain. While a significant amount of Yuengling beer is produced in their Pottsville facility, the brewery has been expanding its operations beyond Pennsylvania. This includes a brewery in Florida and a new 42,000 square foot facility in the state, alongside a partnership announced in 2020 with Molson Coors to brew beer outside their traditional East Coast market. The full effect of the sales increase on the state’s beer output is still to be determined.

Yuengling Brewery is Partnering with Austin FC

Yuengling Brewery has just announced their first ever partnership with a MLS team – the Austin FC. Austin FC is based out of Austin, Texas; where Yuengling has added a brewery production plant in the last few years. MLS stands for Major League Soccer and is the premier soccer league in America. (Leo Messi just recently signed with Inter – Miami.)

As part of the partnership, Yuengling Brewing will become an official partner of Austin FC, creating unparalleled game day experiences for fans at Austin FC’s state – of – the – art home, The Q2 Stadium. At the stadium, fans will find a Yuengling branded grab – and – go market concession, allowing quick and convenient access to Yuengling’s brands including Traditional Lager and FLIGHT by Yuengling.

The Official Press Release By Yuengling Brewing

D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., the Oldest Brewery in America, is proud to announce its first-ever Major League Soccer (MLS) partnership with Austin FC, based in Austin, Texas.

As part of this exciting partnership, Yuengling will become an official partner of Austin FC, creating unparalleled game day experiences for fans at Austin FC’s state-of-the-art home, Q2 Stadium. At the stadium, fans will find a Yuengling branded grab-and-go market concession, allowing quick and convenient access to Yuengling’s brands including Traditional Lager and FLIGHT by Yuengling, the Next Generation of Light Beer®.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Austin FC, a club that shares our commitment to excellence and creating memorable experiences,” said Pat Pikunas, General Manager, The Yuengling Company. “Soccer has an incredible ability to bring people together, and we look forward to engaging with passionate fans around the game and Yuengling beer throughout the season in this new market.”

As a part of the partnership, Yuengling and Austin FC will host a variety of fan-centric events and activations throughout the season, including club player appearances, meet-and-greets, and unique giveaways. This partnership will extend beyond the stadium, as Yuengling plans to collaborate with Austin FC to provide fans with exclusive game-day activations such as FLIGHT by Yuengling pre-game tailgates and road viewing parties.

“We are proud to welcome Yuengling as an official partner of Austin FC,” said Andy Loughnane, Austin FC President. “Working together with America’s oldest and largest craft brewery, we are dedicated to creating an exceptional matchday experience for our passionate fans, amplifying the energy and excitement that define our beloved sport.”

New Camo Can Release

D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery®, announced the return of their limited-edition Team RWB camo cans. The Traditional Lager camo cans support Yuengling’s partnership with military veteran nonprofit Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) as part of Yuengling’s Stars & Stripes program – the brewery’s year-round initiative supporting our nation’s heroes and military veterans.   

“As the Oldest Brewery in America, we are dedicated to supporting the U.S. military and are always seeking ways to further show our appreciation to those that protect our country’s freedom. We are grateful to partner with Team Red, White & Blue, an organization that shares our devotion to the men and women that have served as our nation’s heroes.” 

Wendy Yuengling, Chief Administrative Officer

Starting May 8th of 2023, the limited-edition Yuengling Lager cans will be available until the end of this summer in 12 – ounce 12 – pack, 12 – ounce 24 – pack cans as well as single – serve 24 – ounce cans. The camo cans are available for purchase at fans of legal drinking age’s favorite stores, restaurants and bars across the brewery’s current 26-state-footprint.  

Yuengling has always made a big commitment to the veterans and the armed forces of America. And this can is no different and changes nothing of their pledge to them. The special cans, emblazoned with a unique desert camouflage print and Team Red, White & Blue logo, mark just one of the many ways Yuengling values and pays tribute to the service men and women in our country.

Lee Brice

Each camo displays a QR code co – branded with American country music star and official Yuengling Traditional Lager and Stars & Stripes program Brand Ambassador, Lee Brice. When scanned, the QR code will immerse fans in a digital Stars & Stripes experience, inviting users to enter an exclusive giveaway to win a Lee Brice Party Pack; learn more about Team RWB and donate to the organization; listen to Lee Brice’s new album called “Hey World”; and tour America’s Oldest Brewery or shop online for Stars & Stripes merchandise. 

“I am thrilled to be part of Yuengling’s efforts to support Team Red, White, and Blue with these limited – edition cans. I can’t think of anything better than saluting our troops with a nice, cold Yuengling beer this summer.”

Lee Brice, Musician

Wendy Yuengling, Charity, and Aaron Nola

To kick off the start to the limited-edition camo can season and this year’s Stars & Stripes program, Wendy Yuengling, alongside Aaron Nola, Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher and Yuengling Brand Ambassador, presented $55,000 to Team Red, White & Blue’s Executive Director Mike Erwin. The presentation took place at Nola’s inaugural “Bowling for The Troops” charity event at Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia. 

“We’re stoked for this year’s Team RWB camo can launch and grateful for the generous support from Yuengling through the Stars & Stripes program. As the nation’s leading health and wellness community for veterans, this support will enable us to deliver consistent events and programming for years to come.”  

Mike Erwin, Founder and Executive Director of Team Red, White, and Blue

Yuengling’s Hershey Chocolate Porter is Back

Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter Returns Just in Time for Fall – A Local Favorite!

Pennsylvania beer lovers, rejoice! Yuengling and Hershey’s have teamed up once again to bring back their crowd-pleasing, fan-favorite: Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter. Now available for a limited time, this rich, chocolatey brew returns to shelves just in time for Halloween and the cooler days of fall. Whether you’re grabbing a 6-pack, a 12-pack, or enjoying it on draft at your favorite local spot, this unique porter is a must-try this season.

(See our Beer Review: Hershey’s Chocolate Porter Yuengling Brewery)

A Historic Collaboration of Two Pennsylvania Icons

The Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter marked a milestone in 2019, introducing the first collaboration between two legendary Pennsylvania brands, each with over a century of heritage. Yuengling, America’s oldest brewery, and Hershey’s, the name synonymous with chocolate, have come together to create a beer that truly celebrates Pennsylvania’s roots. This special brew has grown in popularity every year, becoming a seasonal staple for fans across the region.

What’s Inside the Brew? A Chocolate Lover’s Dream

Yuengling’s Chocolate Porter brings together their time-honored Dark Brewed Porter recipe with the smooth, rich flavor of Hershey’s chocolate. Clocking in at a drinkable 4.7% ABV, it combines dark roasted malts and caramel notes for a luscious, well-balanced porter that’s sure to satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth. The chocolatey richness makes it perfect for pairing with everything from smoked meats to rich desserts.

Jennifer Yuengling, Vice President of Operations and a 6th-generation family member at Yuengling, shared her excitement: “One of our top priorities is listening to our fans, and we know how much they look forward to this fall-favorite. We’re thrilled to bring it back for those searching for something special in their seasonal beer lineup.”

A Limited-Time Treat for Fall and Winter

With fall festivities underway, Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter has quickly become a go-to choice for holiday gatherings and cool nights. Only available while supplies last, it’s the kind of seasonal brew that you’ll want to snag sooner rather than later. To find a retailer near you, simply visit the beer locator on Yuengling’s website.

For those planning gatherings or just looking to cozy up with something special, Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter is a great choice to add to the seasonal beer rotation. With its smooth chocolate profile and Pennsylvania pride, it’s a true standout for craft beer fans.

About Yuengling: America’s Oldest Brewery®

Yuengling has been brewing in Pottsville, PA since 1829 and now distributes its beloved beers in over 20 states, including the much-loved Traditional Lager, Black & Tan, and seasonal favorites like Oktoberfest. The partnership with Hershey’s showcases Yuengling’s commitment to innovation while celebrating local heritage—a true testament to Pennsylvania’s vibrant brewing and chocolate-making legacy.

Grab a bottle, raise a glass, and toast to fall with this one-of-a-kind chocolate porter.

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:

• MAPS OF BREWERIES

We are also working on a project of creating printable and downloadable PDFs and resources to be able to check and keep track of all of the breweries you’ve been to. So stay tuned for that project once we are finished with the Brewery Maps of the US States.
