Yuengling and Hershey's chocolate-flavored brew, which they first collaborated on a year ago, is back – and coming to stores.
Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter debuted last fall at bars and restaurants in 14 states. This time around the tasty concoction, available now, arrives in bottles and on draft throughout the 22 states Yuengling distributes – from Massachusetts to Indiana, including Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky.
The Pottsville, Pa.-based Yuengling, which is the oldest brewery in the U.S., uses its traditional Dark Brewed Porter and adds Hershey’s cocoa, syrup and nibs during the brewing.

“Last year we were overwhelmed by the excitement and passion expressed by our fans for our first-ever collaboration beer,” said Jennifer Yuengling, vice president of operations for D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., in a statement announcing the beer's arrival. She is a sixth-generation brewer – and one of four daughters of owner Dick Yuengling Jr., working at the brewery.
Her great-great-great-grandfather David Yuengling founded The Eagle Brewery, established in 1829, and renamed it D.G. Yuengling & Son in 1873.
You can find the 4.7% ABV beer, which should be available until about Valentine's Day, using Yuengling's online beer finder.
“We’re happy to work with Yuengling to expand the availability of the chocolate porter and, better yet the Yuengling Hershey’s chocolate porter is available in bottles for the first time," said Hershey's senior director for global licensing Ernie Savo in a statement. "Now our fans will be able to enjoy this one-of-a-kind beer collaboration in the comfort of their homes."
