A Beautiful Pairing

As a lover of chocolate, and since this blog centers around beer (another one of my loves), this news I'm about to share with you got me quite excited...

The makers of Samuel Adams have partnered up with TCHO chocolate to make the perfect holiday gift... The Samuel Adams Beer Lover's Chocolate Box! The two companies teamed up to pair the perfect beer with the best possible chocolate. Honestly this is one of the greatest ideas they could have come up with. So what does this gift box consist of? Well, it comes with a box of TCHO's premium chocolates, along with a variety pack of Sam Adam's Winter Classics brew. Each chocolate is specifically paired with one of the beers and the experts explain why:

  • Samuel Adams Boston Lager® + PureNotes™ Dark “Chocolatey”
    • The malt character and subtle Noble Hop bitterness of Boston Lager bring out the rich, fudgy flavor and malty sweetness of TCHO’s “Chocolatey.”
  • Samuel Adams® Winter Lager + PureNotes™ Dark “Citrus”
    • Winter Lager’s rich, hearty flavor is a pleasant balance to the delicate, smooth flavor of TCHO’s “Citrus.” The subtle citrus notes in both the beer and the chocolate complement each other perfectly.
  • Samuel Adams® White Christmas + PureNotes™ Dark “Fruity” 
    • White Christmas is a crisp, unfiltered white ale blended with holiday spices. TCHO’s “Fruity” chocolate boasts bright berry notes that highlight the citrus and wheat characters of this ale, while bringing out the warmth of its spices.
  • Samuel Adams® Holiday Porter + PureNotes™ Dark “Nutty” 
    • Holiday Porter is a robust and flavorful brew. The complex espresso and roasty notes of this beer are deliciously accentuated by the roasted nut and toasted malt notes of TCHO’s “Nutty” chocolate.
  • Samuel Adams® Old Fezziwig® Ale + SeriousMilk™ “Classic” 
    • Old Fezziwig Ale is bursting with spices of the season and the rich flavors of roasted malt. The creamy, caramel notes of TCHO’s “Classic” milk chocolate balance delicately with this beer’s ginger and cinnamon undertones.
  • Samuel Adams® Chocolate Bock + SeriousMilk™ “Cacao” 
    • Chocolate Bock is a dark, decadent beer with a big, malty character, combined with the subtle sweetness of chocolate. TCHO’s “Cacao” dark milk chocolate brings out the chocolate notes of this beer and complements the brew’s nutty and fruity notes.

     After reading this exciting news, I right away started going down my Christmas list to see which lucky people would be receiving this. However I was very curious to know how much this ensemble was and where I can get my hands on these bad boys. The Chocolate Box  is available at  TCHO.com/SamuelAdams for only $16.95! So if this interests you go ahead and look it up and start hinting to friends and family and maybe this could possibly end up under your Christmas tree.

    (I did not receive compensation for writing this. I just found this interesting and worth sharing.)
