[Celerity]

Two of the world's greatest are collaborating... beer and chocolate.

It was almost one year ago to the day that Hershey's announced its first-ever beer, a collaboration with Yuengling. The two big Pennsylvania brands were collaborating for the first time, and it made a whole lot of sense. Unfortunately, that beer was only available in draft form at select bars. That left a lot of chocolate lovers wanting.

On September 29, Yuengling announced another batch of the Hershey's Chocolate Porter is ready to hit palates. However, this time you're going to be able to get it in bottles and take a six-pack home. That, of course, makes a whole lot more sense than draft beer at a time where it's not advisable to spend time inside a bar. Though, you'll still be able to find it on tap at select locations as well.



It was just earlier in September that Yuengling announced a new partnership with Molon Coors that will bring its beers to parts of the US where it doesn't distribute. But that partnership's impacts won't be felt until the second half of 2021. So, for this batch, you'll only be able to find the Hershey's Chocolate Porter in the 22 states where Yuengling normally distributes its beers. (This release only reached 14 states in 2019.) The chocolatey beer will start hitting your favourite beer hubs in late September.

1. Yuengling's on my boycott list; Hershey probably should be for one reason or another

I’ll wait patiently for someone respectable to combine beer and chocolate. Shame too, because I like the taste of Yuengling - just not enough to support the RW hosebag who runs the company.

2. oh, there are hundreds of other chocolate beers, ales, stouts, porters out there, some for decades

4. I know

I haven’t found one that really does it for me yet. Curious as I am about this collaboration, I’m gonna stay true to my boycott.

Tasting Notes

The Chocolate Manifesto Triple Chocolate Milk Stout is one of our first beers to really vault the Flying Monkeys to international status in the Craft Beer Industry. Rated a solid score of 99 Overall on RateBeer, The Chocolate Manifesto is the winner of three GOLD medals in the Canadian Brewing Awards 2014, 2015, and 2016 plus a myriad of other international beer awards. It's big; it's lucious; and, it's pretty much the definitive statement on beer and chocolate.
