Brewery D.G. Yuengling & Son recently collaborated with Hershey Co. to bring customers Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter.
The limited-edition porter will be available in draft only beginning in mid-October in restaurants and bars in Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia, while supplies last.
“As the sixth Generation of the Yuengling family, we have a 190-year history of listening to our fans and looking for new ways to deliver quality and memorable drinking experiences,” Jennifer Yuengling, Yuengling vice president of operations, said. “We saw a unique opportunity to partner with Hershey’s, a brand known worldwide for its iconic, delicious tasting chocolate, to deliver fans our first-ever beer collaboration. We spent nearly a year developing our Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter and are excited for the world to indulge in the classic taste of Yuengling Dark Brewed Porter blended with the unmistakable taste of Hershey’s chocolate.”
The porter has 4.7 percent alcohol by volume and is a variation of Yuengling’s old Dark Brewed Porter recipe. To achieve the chocolate flavor, the brew combines Hershey’s chocolate with caramel and dark roasted malts.
The porter pairs well with any food, Yuengling said.
