Equal Exchange x Harpoon

Equal Exchange hosted a chocolate and beer tasting at their adorable café near North Station. Surrounded by vibrant teal walls and tall windows among an open, airy floor plan, guests sipped on the Harpoon beer of our choice and enjoyed tasty sandwiches before we were seated at tables set in casual floral linens to begin the tasting.
We tasted Dark Chocolate Almond with UFO White, Dark Chocolate Orange with Rye IPA, Milk Chocolate with Catamount Maple Wheat and Caramel Sea Salt Crunch with Harpoon Dark. I thought all the combinations were pretty fantastic, my favorite was the last one.
I had recently become a fan of Equal Exchange coffee and teas and I can now say the same about their fair trade chocolate. I have long been a fan of Harpoon Beer, so any chance to sample new varieties and drink old favorites is a welcome one. This event was free and I'm not required to write about it, but I had a great time and I just thought you should know, chocolate and beer = match made in heaven!

    My friend lives in that building. I've got to stop in there for coffee when I am over her place!

    What a fun event! I'm a huge fan of both chocolate and beer - but I've never really tried pairing them!

    This definitely strikes me as an unlikely duo...but one that apparently really works. Love the intimate look of the pairing table!

    That is awesome! I have tried once mixing chocolate and beer into a cupcake and it works great!

    I was sad I couldn't make this event. I think beer and chocolate together sounds delicious.
