Chocolate & Beer: Flavors of Joy
At Divine Chocolate, we love learning about & sharing little moments of indulgence and joy. That's why we're taking some time this month to celebrate the delightful pairing of chocolate & beer, two of life's most savored flavors. As part of our celebration, we developed a chocolate & beer pairing guide, a series of chocolate & beer inspired recipes, and even have included a section on homebrewing the perfect Divine Chocolate beer.
Divine Chocolate is a company where indulging in moments of joy is important not only for ourselves or the consumers who love Divine, but for all who are involved in making our delicious chocolate. We value all of the members of our supply chain, including the 85,000+ farmer members of Kuapa Kokoo, the cooperative in Ghana made up of the cocoa farmers who supply the cocoa for each bar of Divine and who also co-own our company. As owners, they get a share in the profits, a say in the company, and a voice in the global marketplace. Divine Chocolate is committed to making the world a place where chocolate is cherished by everyone, including the family farmers who grow the cocoa.

Chocolate & Beer Pairing Ideas
Chocolate and beer? According to Jane Peyton, Principal of the School of Booze, this question paired with a look of disbelief is so common when people hear about pairing the two. As she notes: "Beer and chocolate are two of my favorite things, and it is always a pleasure to prove that when matched together, the flavor combinations can be sublime."
