America\u2019s Oldest Brewery\u00ae partners with local farming community to craft 1,721,344 square foot crop QR code in support of Stars and Stripes program<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

POTTSVILLE, PA\u2014August 2, 2022\u2014<\/strong>Today,\u00a0D.G Yuengling & Son, Inc.<\/a>, America\u2019s Oldest Brewery\u00ae, unveiled the world’s largest QR code grown from crops, a one-of-a-kind version of its iconic Stars and Stripes QR code currently appearing on special cans of Yuengling Lager.<\/p>\n

In recognition of the farming community, which plays an integral role in the beer industry, Yuengling recently partnered with a family business in Farmland, Indiana, Chalfant Family Farms, to grow the world\u2019s largest QR code from real, live crops. Carefully planted in May 2022 to form the code\u2019s unique design, the crops have now grown to form the world\u2019s largest QR code\u2014measuring roughly a \u00bc mile long by a \u00bc mile wide\u2014or about the length of 20 football fields.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The very same QR code is now also featured on Yuengling\u2019s limited-edition camouflage Team RWB cans. When scanned, fans unlock the opportunity to immerse themselves in a digital Stars & Stripes experience where they can donate to\u00a0Team\u00a0Red, White & Blue<\/a>\u00a0(Team RWB),\u00a0the brewery\u2019s longtime veterans charitable partner; watch\u00a0Stars & Stripes Brand Ambassador Lee Brice’s\u00a0“More Beer<\/a>” music video; enter to win tickets to see Brice on tour this summer and shop in the brewery’s virtual gift shop.\u00a0Click here<\/a>\u00a0to discover the full capability of the QR code.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a QR code like no other,\u201d said Sheryl Yuengling, 6th<\/sup>\u00a0generation family member. \u201cAs we enter the back half of the summer, we wanted to offer up a unique and fun reminder to support Team RWB and have some fun with Lee Brice. Today\u2019s unveiling further highlights the brewery\u2019s year-round campaign dedicated to supporting our nation\u2019s heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yuengling, America\u2019s Oldest Brewery\u00ae, has donated over $800,000 to charities focused on supporting active-duty servicemen, veterans and their families since 2016 through the Yuengling Stars and Stripes program and will continue to honor America\u2019s veterans throughout the summer with the sale of its limited-edition Team RWB cans. These special cans are currently available across the brewery\u2019s 23-state footprint in 12pk\/12oz\u00a0and 24pk\/12oz cans and single-serve\u00a024oz\u00a0cans until the end of the summer and will be available for purchase at fans\u2019 favorite stores, restaurants, and bars.<\/p>\n
