Let us guide you in this class through all the delicious reasons why!\nCr aft beer and artisan chocolate\, having so many things in common\, are the perfect pairing partnership! In the class\, we reveal the delicious simil arities between chocolate and beer. They are both fermented foods believed to be created by happy accidents. Each has its own delicate balance of sw eet and bitter flavors. Malt beer is naturally very sweet and would not be palatable without the balancing bitterness of hops. In much the same way\ , chocolate is based on roasted and bitter cocoa balanced by sugar. In bot h cases\, a perfect union is created in the balance between bitter and swe et. This is when beer and chocolate are at their most decadent best.\nWhet her craft beer is served with a chocolate dessert or the chocolate is brew ed right into the beer\, the two work incredibly well together. Both share an affinity for a wide variety of foods such as nuts\, fruit\, and yes\, even bacon!\nWith a focus on the beloved and small batch craft production of both chocolate and beer\, this is an elegant and  metaphysical explora tion of the physiology of tasting beer and chocolate together. It will exc ite and enlighten your palate unlike any other food pairing.\nWithin the m agnificent Ale House at Amato's\, surrounded by kegs and barrels and taps - oh my! - we are very proud to offer this wildly entertaining\, informati ve and fun evening.\nThis interactive class is sure to impart a deeper kno wledge and appreciation of how fine chocolate and craft beer are created a nd how\, more importantly\, they belong together... all you need is love.. . and to register quickly.
