The 4.7% ABV brew combines Yuengling's nearly 200-year old Dark Brewed Porter recipe, with caramel and dark roasted malts, along with a blend of Hershey's chocolate.

"Bringing together over 300 years of craft and experience is quite rare in 2019; however, that's exactly what we did bringing together the Yuengling brewing masters with the chocolate-making expertise of Hershey. This Yuengling Hershey's Chocolate Porter is sure to surprise and delight the chocolate fans and the avid beer-lovers among us," said Ernie Savo, Senior Director, Global Licensing and Business Development, The Hershey Company.
