They conditioned the finished beer on Belizean, Guatemalan, and Mexican cacao nibs from Cultura, as well as a subtle addition of Congo vanilla beans.Listen to this quick episode to learn more about this fascinating (and delicious) collaboration.The music for this episode is an instrumental version of the song “Walls”, written and performed by indie folk musician Anna p.s.Check out David's book Pairing Beer & Chocolate: A Guide to Bringing the Flavors of Craft Beer and Craft Chocolate Together.Follow Bean to Barstool on social media!InstagramFacebookPinterestSign up for host David Nilsen's beer newsletter for regular beer musings, and the Bean to Barstool newsletter for pairings, collaborations, and maker profiles.
