Two famous Pennsylvania companies – Yuengling and Hershey’s Chocolate, have announced a first of its kind beer collaboration. Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter is headed to select markets this month.

The base beer is Yuengling’s nearly 200-year-old Porter recipe, plus “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.

Unfortunately we have little knowledge of which chocolates from Hershey’s were used and how. Emails to the brewery/PR agency have not been returned.

Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter is a draft only offering while supplies last starting in mid-October. Only select markets will receive the new chocolate offering, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, West Virginia, New York, Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Washington D.C., Delaware, Indiana, and Kentucky.
