“Last year’s expansion into Texas marked the first state for The Yuengling Company, which allowed us to increase our reach beyond our East Coast footprint,” said Jennifer Yuengling, Vice President of Operations and 6th generation family member, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. “That is why today, we are thrilled to fuel this partnership by bringing the fall-fan-favorite Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter to Texas. We look forward to celebrating this exciting milestone and continuing to bring more of Yuengling’s iconic portfolio to all beer lovers.”

In honour of the Texas launch, retailers across the state will feature limited-time tasting events and promotions to introduce consumers to the delicious new product. At 4.7 percent ABV, Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter combines Yuengling’s 193-year-old Dark Brewed Porter recipe with the world-famous taste of Hershey’s chocolate.

The limited-edition seasonal beer uses Yuengling’s master brewing expertise to artfully blend Hershey’s decadent chocolate with caramel and dark roasted malts for a smooth, rich and delicious chocolaty finish. The beer pairs well with everything from barbequed and smoked meats to cheeses and desserts.

“It has been a pleasure collaborating with Yuengling these last several years to bring America’s Oldest Brewery and America’s most beloved chocolate brand together for beer- and chocolate-lovers alike. We are pleased to be able to not only continue this partnership, but also bring this iconic beer to Texas,” said Ernie Savo, President, The Hershey Licensing Company.

Originally released on draft throughout Yuengling’s footprint in 2019, Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter marked the first-ever beer collaboration between the two iconic Pennsylvania brands.
