Yuengling is introducing its first new core product in nearly 20 years with the debut of its Golden Pilsner, which is due in several markets — including Atlanta — on April 1.
Yuengling Golden Pilsner is described as a contemporary pilsner “crafted with the perfect balance of hop and malt character for crisp, smooth refreshment.”
Yuengling Golden Pilsner brings springtime hops
Golden Pilsner is Yuengling’s first year-round beer to debut in 17 years.
“Yuengling Golden Pilsner is our unique interpretation of a refreshing pilsner, with all of the qualities consumers have come to expect from Yuengling in a beer that is highly sessionable and full of flavor,” said Jen Yuengling, 6th generation brewer, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. “We continue to listen to our fans and we saw an opportunity to deliver a new Yuengling beer that complements our core portfolio of iconic beers including Traditional Lager, Light Lager, and Black & Tan.”
The all malt beer’s specs — 4.7% ABV and 135 calories — compare favorably to the elite pale and specialty malts, combining Hallertau and Saaz hops to form a naturally bold and clean finish. “We spent over 18 months developing this beer and believe it is a great choice for outdoor, social and active occasions. We’re excited for consumers to try it,” said Yuengling.
Golden Pilsner will be available in cans and bottles initially in several markets but expand rapidly in May to Yuengling’s entire 22-state footprint by the end of the year. To find where Yuengling beers are sold visit https://www.yuengling.com/find-our-beer.

The Atlanta metropolitan area continues to grow by leaps and bounds, coming in No. 4 in cities with the biggest number of people moving in. Georgia’s largest city is only behind Dallas, Houston and Phoenix in number of people moving in, despite rising property prices, according to new numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Among America’s fastest growing regions, metro Atlanta has about 5.7 million residents, making it the ninth-largest metro area in the country. Much of the gains are happening in North Fulton County, which is the most affluent area of the metro area and state.
Just under 600,000 residents have moved into the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell area from 2010 and 2017, the census reports.
Since that time period only 12 other regions had more people added to their populations. Atlanta’s business climate, including a robust startup environment and the influx of Fortune 500 companies looking to plant roots here, has made the region a leading metro area.

The new film will be set in the modern world with several famous faces in key roles. , Director X will helm the director’s chair for the remake with Trevor Jackson confirmed to star as Youngblood Priest.

U-Haul is investing in metro Atlanta like never before with a new state-of-the-art self-storage facility, the company announced this week.
The new site is destined for 471 Eagles Landing Parkway in Stockbridge. The structure is possible because of U-Haul’s recent acquisition of a 324,000-square-foot warehouse.
U-Haul Mobility & Storage at Eagles Landing is currently operating out of a temporary showroom, but will transition to offer 1,800 indoor self-storage units for rent – a mix of climate-control and non-climate-control rooms with high-tech security features at affordable price points, once the property is repurposed.
“In the coming weeks, U-Haul will allocate warehouse space to store more than 300 U-Box portable moving and storage containers and lot space to accommodate 40 large U-Haul truck boxes – a sustainable solution for outdated fleet vehicles,” the company says in a press release. “These options will provide immediate and secure on-site storage for customers while self-storage rooms are being made.”

Some culinary concoctions are better left on Instagram, clearly made of desperation and attention. But some of them, including this new one, just might become a thing.
Red Lobster recently debuted a new menu item guaranteed to whet your appetite: Lobster & waffles.
The seafood chain, which has become nationally known as the spot where your kids get to gawk at huge lobsters in a tank, is experimenting with the famous chicken-and-waffles trope and going all in. The new meal features waffles made out of Red Lobster’s cheddar bay biscuits, which are technically a sin in food form.
“Our signature Cheddar Bay waffle is topped with a crispy buttermilk battered split Maine lobster tail then drizzled with sweet maple syrup,” the restaurant says in a press release. And can you believe it? They say this is only 1080 calories!!?
- NEW! Dueling Lobster Tails™: Maine lobster tail steamed in parchment paper with fresh herbs, tomatoes and lemon, paired with a grilled Maine lobster tail topped with shrimp, bay scallops and roasted bell peppers in a rich sherry lobster cream
- NEW! Lobster Truffle Mac & Cheese: Maine and langostino lobster tossed with cavatappi pasta in a cheesy truffle lobster cream, topped with house-made toasted Parmesan panko crumbs
- NEW! Stuffed Tilapia with Langostino Lobster: Fresh tilapia roasted with Red Lobster’s signature seafood stuffing and topped with langostino lobster in a creamy lobster beurre blanc
- NEW! Lobsterfest® Surf & Turf™: Tender Maine lobster tail, paired with guests’ choice of a wood-grilled sirloin, New York strip or filet mignon, topped with a langostino and Maine lobster beurre blanc
The new item will be available for a limited time only to coincide with Lobsterfest, which begins March 26.
