Hershey, Yuengling to launch Chocolate Porter

America’s Oldest Brewery® to release first-ever beer collaboration with Hershey’s in select markets while supplies last

D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery^®, has announced its first-ever beer collaboration with Hershey’s, America’s most beloved chocolate brand. 

Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter will be available on draft only, in select markets, while supplies last, starting mid-October 2019. This is the first beer collaboration for the two iconic, Pennsylvania brands. Beer-lovers, chocolate-lovers and consumers, of legal drinking age, are encouraged to taste this once-in-a-lifetime, limited-edition brew before it runs out. 

To celebrate people’s love of beer and their love of chocolate, Yuengling, America’s #1 craft brewery, and Hershey’s, America’s iconic chocolate, have joined forces to bring the best of both worlds to consumers with a limited-edition Chocolate Porter. A uniquely, delicious collaboration, the new beer combines over 300 years of their respective mastery and rich heritages rooted in Pennsylvania. Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter will be here just in time for beer lovers and loyal fans to enjoy this fall and holiday season.

At a 4.7% ABV, Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter is a new spin that combines Yuengling’s nearly 200-year old Dark Brewed Porter recipe with the world-famous taste of Hershey’s chocolate. The limited-edition beer uses Yuengling’s unparalleled brewing experience to artfully blend Hershey’s chocolate with caramel and dark roasted malts for a smooth, rich and delightfully chocolaty finish. The liquid pairs well with everything from barbequed and smoked meats, to cheeses and desserts.
