Yuengling’s Hershey Chocolate Porter is Back
What Makes Hershey’s Chocolate Porter Special?
Yuengling’s Hershey’s Chocolate Porter combines the brewery’s nearly 200-year-old Dark Porter recipe with Hershey’s world-famous chocolate. At 4.7% ABV, this American porter boasts a rich blend of Hershey’s chocolate syrup, cocoa powder, and cocoa nibs, creating a flavor profile that’s both smooth and indulgent.
Each sip delivers a balanced experience: roasted malts from Yuengling’s Porter meet the sweet, velvety finish of Hershey’s chocolate. It’s a pairing that feels both nostalgic and innovative—a true crowd-pleaser for beer drinkers and dessert lovers alike.
