Beer and Chocolate - really? I have to admit, having never paired the two, I was a bit skeptical but intrigued. I'm happy to report, after attending this event, I'm now a true believer that this combination can be downright amazing!

Hats off to Cristina, at Shocolaate, for making some incredible winter-themed chocolates, and James Retzler, at World of Beer (Clematis Street), for pairing some unique beers that truly enhanced the experience to an unexpected level of indulgence.

For those that missed this event, I implore you to grab some of these chocolates from Shocolaate and head over to World of Beer to experience these magical combinations for yourself.

The following are the pairings from the event:

French Toast and Pumpkin Pie chocolates paired with Left Hand Beer Week Sauce Porter.

Smores and Gingerbread Man chocolates paired with Left Hand Milk Stout.

Coffee Toffee and The Snowball paired with Tequesta Brewing Company Coffee Porter

Peanut Butter and Peppermint Patty paired with St. Louis Framboise

Cherry Bomb and The Eggnog paired with Rogue Double Chocolate Imperial Stout
