BRIDGEPORT -- After what seems like a long wait to some, Yuengling beer has made it to West Virginia.

Distributors were hard at work across the area on Monday, making sure that every store got its order. We caught up with some men delivering to Rocko's Liquor Wine and Beer in Bridgeport. They say it has taken a lot of teamwork to make all the deliveries and it has taken some more manpower.

Some businesses are so excited they are welcoming the new beer to the state with a party.

Buffalo Wild Wings in Bridgeport hosted Yuengs and Wings on Monday evening from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.

The restaurant offered customers Yuengling for $2 a bottle and traditional wings for .40 cents.

Distributors say they hope to offer Yuengling in kegs by this fall.

Gee, just what we need. More ways for people to get drunk in this state. Let's not get anything that we Really need here, let's just get stuff that makes us forget that we are in one of the poorest most unemployed states in the union, and that our education system is so far behind that we can't see tomarrow. Let's get drunk on another states beer and make them wealthy. Yeah!!
