The Yuengling name has long been associated with lager, porter and ale.

Now in a cool move, a branch of the Yuengling family is resurrecting the company's mint chocolate chip, vanilla and chocolate marshmallow.

It won't be long before shoppers will be picking up quarts of the all-natural Yuengling's Ice Cream at supermarkets like Acme and Weis Markets, as well as select independent grocery stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey and New York.

The super-premium ice cream is due out in stores by mid-February in 10 flavors, and will be priced at about $5.49 to $5.99 per quart. The label touts the ice cream as "Pennsylvania's Finest."

Read here how Yuengling's Ice Cream actually tastes.

News of the ice cream's return created a buzz when the company announced in September 2013 it would start up production again after a three-decade hiatus.

In fact, retailers' requests for the ice cream prompted Yuengling's to move up its launch by two months from March to January.

“I think we have the most poplar non-existent product on the market,” said David Yuengling, president of Yuengling's Ice Cream.

The Yuengling name first became associated with ice cream in 1920. Frank Yuengling decided during Prohibition to make and sell ice cream to supplement the brewery's income.

The ice cream had a 65-year run but production stopped in 1985 when David Yuengling's grandfather, Frederick “Fritz” Yuengling, stepped down as president and a replacement could not be found.

Fast-forward 30 years. Had it not been for the energy of Rob Bohorad, now the company's chief operating officer, the Yuengling ice cream recipes may have sat on a back shelf for several more decades.

The Pottsville native who has been involved in several start-ups and has lived around the country, had the idea to resurrect the brand several years ago. He didn't immediately act on the idea though because he said he was living out of the area.

Finally, about two years ago when he had returned to the Pottsville area, he emailed Dave Yuengling. At the time Bohorad said he remembers thinking, “You know what? It's time we did something.”

David Yuengling, who has worked in the computer industry, said he wasn't ready to commit but he would at least be willing to do some research. In March 2013, the decision was made to bring back Yuengling's Ice Cream.

“At some point we said it looks good on paper, let's go ahead and do it,” David Yuengling said.

The company operates independently from D.G. Yuengling & Sons. However, the ice cream does come with a blessing from brewery owner Dick Yuengling.

According to Bohorad the brewery head said, “Just do me a favor and make a quality product."

Today's version of Yuengling's Ice Cream might not taste the same to those who remember eating scoops of the ice cream.

The flavors stick to traditional vanilla, chocolate and mint chocolate chip along with new ones like Black & Tan (a Belgian chocolate and caramel concoction) as well as espresso chocolate chip but the recipe is entirely different.

This time around the Yuenglings opted to produce an all-natural product. That means everything from the green dye for the mint chip to the marshmallows for the chocolate marshmallow is all-natural.

Milk is the first ingredient on the label followed by cream, sugar and egg yolks. Yuengling's Ice Cream contains no artificial colors or preservatives.

In addition, the ice cream is a PA Preferred product, meaning many of the ingredients including the milk are sourced from Pennsylvania.

The ice cream is produced at Leiby's Dairy, Inc. near Tamaqua in rural Schuylkill County about 30 miles from Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville. The dairy produces its own ice cream under the Leiby's name as well as co-packs for other producers from around the country.

Production is in full swing with about 80 pallets of Yuengling's Ice Cream being produced in seven days, said Leiby's CEO William Parks. “They need to fill the pipeline.”

The big questions is does the ice cream contain beer? Unfortunately, beer geeks won't find beer-flavored ice cream at this point.

"It's not a flavor people will consistently buy," David Yuengling said. "Obviously, ice cream is a family thing … Obviously, I want lots of kids to eat our ice cream."
