From the Penguin City archives: This video, filmed back in 2018 at the B&O Station, carries a message that still holds true. From starting in our garage to moving into a train station, and now to a warehouse in the heart of the city, it’s been a crazy journey.

We’ve seen good times and tough ones, and we haven’t always gotten it right. But through it all, we’ve remained dedicated to creating a beer that embodies the pride, history, and spirit of our valley.

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed us into your homes, served us on draft, and stocked our products on your shelves. Your support has made this ride unforgettable, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.

Here’s to 2025 and beyond. Happy Holidays, Youngstown—the best is yet to come!

Santa waiting for a pastelito just feels so perfectly Youngstown.

Merry Christmas Eve. 🎄

‼️ 🚨 Big News! 🚨 ‼️
Penguin City Light Featured in Sports Illustrated

We’re thrilled to share that Sports Illustrated recently reviewed Penguin City Light, highlighting our strong connection with YSU and the Penguin Collective. This is HUGE! They gave rave reviews about our can design and scored the beer an impressive 8.2 for taste.

Since 2018, we’ve proudly partnered with YSU, and now, through our work with the Penguin Collective, we’re supporting student athletes in a big way. For every Penguin City Light sold in distribution, $1 goes directly to benefit student athletes. That means grabbing a six pack or ordering a pint in your favorite bar and restaurant.

A huge thank you to Noah Henderson for the fantastic write-up—it’s an incredible honor to have Penguin City Light featured in Sports Illustrated. Go, Youngstown!

Locally owned and brewed with pride right here in Youngstown, Ohio. Cheers to another win for our city!

Cheers to unforgettable events!

Winter Warmer Ale is sold out in the taproom, but you can still find it throughout the Valley! Be sure to check your local grocery stores, drive-thrus, and restaurants .

Fun fact: Winter Warmer Ale was our very first seasonal release, and it gets its signature spiced flavor directly from the malts. We’re incredibly proud of this beer and thrilled that it has become a beloved staple in our community.

Until next year!

Campfire Classic Marshmallow Ale will take the place of Winter Warmer on Wednesday.

Cheers to Youngstown!
