Michigan's Yuengling Limit: How Many Ounces Can You Legally Have?

The first time I was introduced to Yuengling, the person who handed it to me looked me dead in the eye and said, "You didn't get this from me." Needless to say, I was confused when I looked into my hand, expecting what I could only assume was contraband, only to see an ice-cold bottle of beer. Well, as I'm not one to look a gift brew in the face, I opened it first and would ask questions later.

Once the rich amber malt and hops reached my lips, I suddenly had a lot of questions, like what is this, how come I've never had/seen this before, and where can I get more? Fortunately, the person (who shall remain nameless for reasons you'll understand later) with the answers, the individual responsible for introducing me to a beer I'd yet to learn to pronounce (ying-luhng) would have the answers.

Once I tracked down the person who had handed me 12 ounces of deliciousness, I asked which party store he had found it. He told me that I couldn't find Yuengling in Michigan, and if I wanted more, I'd need to go to Pennsylvania. Immediately checking Google to see if he was correct (he was), I then began planning a trip.

Wanting to make the most of my time on the road, I researched how much alcohol I could legally bring across the Michigan border. I realized that despite how tasty Yuengling is, a beer run to Steeler Country wouldn't make financial sense.

How Many Ounces of Alchohol Can You Bring Across the Michigan State Line

According to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Liquor Control Commission (MLCC), a person of legal drinking age is only allowed to bring 312 ounces of alcohol over the state line. This means you're limited to a case of beer or 12-750ml containers of wine. The booze must also be below 21% alcohol by volume, according to MCL Code Act 58 of 1998 (Yuengling's only 4.5%, so you're safe there).

According to the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, if you are caught with more than the legal limit of out-of-state booze, you could face a $500 fine. Is it worth it for a couple of Yuengling cases? You decide.
