Easy Living Blog: Beer and Chocolate… a friendship is forged!

The Tasting Menu

Orange sponge cake with a white chocolate topping served with Blue Moon

Green and Blacks dark chocolate served with Bacchus (cherry fruit beer)

Alcohol is so often paired with food because of its flavour enhancing qualities but the complex tastes and aromas of chocolate can make it a tricky one to match and this is where beer comes into its own. So next time you have a ‘moment on the lips’ I’d recommend you go the whole hog and pour yourself a refreshing pint!

We also tried our hand at making our own beer chocolate truffles but true to form I ended up eating most of the raw mixture and making a bit of a mess!
