Would I buy it again?: A collaboration between two titans of Pennsylvania industry. A beer made by Yuengling and Hershey. I don't think I can understate the amount of anticipation and excitement this beer created. It's a limited release, available in only a few states, and where it has been available, it's sold out fast. But I've been lucky enough to get my hands on it a few times, and let me tell you, it does not disappoint. It's just the right amount of chocolate and porter. They compliment each other so well, it makes you wonder why this collaboration didn't happen earlier. It's worth every penny, and I absolutely plan on getting it again if I can.
