What is more natural than pairing chocolate with beer?


It was 1973. I was an impressionable teenager growing up in Belgium. Was it my fault that my biggest fantasy was to bathe in a copper pot full of dark belgium chocolate?

Fast forward to 2010. I am at Le Grande Confectionary with owners John and Mary. They are hospitable enough to invite Steve Swinford of Pacific Libations and a handfull of guests to pair the one other thing that Belgium does best.....Beer!

It was always my opinion that wine lovers were always going out on a limb to try to pair chocolate with wine. Really now. But chocolate with beer?

The pairings that were put together for Sacramento Beer Week will be the best pairings any connoisseur can hope for this event is not to be missed. Check out the details at Sacramento Beer Week. Hopefully this event has not already been sold out.
