PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Beer lovers, chocolate lovers, and especially beer-meets-chocolate lovers:

It's back.

Pottsville's own Yuengling is again teaming with Hershey's Chocolate to release its chocolate porter starting Monday, releasing the beer both in bottles and on draft.

Yuengling will release the beer in 22 states "while supplies last," the company says.

The beer company is also holding a "Scary Delicious Tour" with a beer truck driving to various taverns around the state. They are also holding a social media contest, promising to winners that they will drop off the chocolate beer "directly to their front steps."

The company first released the 4.7% ABV dark brewed porter with Hershey's chocolate and caramel in 2019. The two companies said it was Yuengling's first collaboration with a chocolate company, and Hershey's first-ever partnership in making a beer.

Yuengling claims the beer "pairs well with everything from barbequed and smoked meats, to cheeses and desserts."
