Guinness (and chocolate) is good for you!

We're all used to wine and chocolate pairings, but beer and chocolate? YES! We will raise our glass to those kinds of pairings!

Dark chocolate, caramel, and coffee flavours are already in Guinness, so pairing with these flavours is natural. But consider this: a frothy glass of Guinness activates 4 of the 5 taste senses in our mouth – sweet, sour, savoury, and bitter. So it makes sense that it would also go well with the remaining taste sense - salty.

In honour of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland where Guinness has been brewed since 1759, we suggest the following pairings with Guinness (or local Stout):

Solid dark chocolate bars

Solid dark chocolate bar
Solid extra-dark bittersweet bar
Solid Semisweet bar with Habanero Sea Salt - 🌶 
Solid Semisweet bar with Almonds
Solid Semisweet bar with Hazelnuts
Solid Semisweet bar with Caramel
