Inaugural Bean to Bar: Chocolate and Beer Festival

This Sunday, a new event debuts to tempt your palate: the inaugural Bean to Bar: Chocolate and Beer Festival will be held June 9th from 1-5pm at the Iron Fireman Collective building, where Ruse Brewing is located. This event merges tasting with marketplace and features 11 local chocolatiers sampling and selling, with 9 brewers and one cidery paired up. Tickets are $25 and include a $7 coupon for purchasing chocolate to-go, a collectible branded glass, and 3 drink tickets.

Beer and chocolate were born to be together. With compatible flavor profiles and a similar production process, artisan chocolatiers and brewers come together in a harmonious showcase at the Bean to Bar: Chocolate and Beer Festival. Chocolatiers will be paired with a Northwest brewery pouring beers complimentary to the chocolates. All festival attendees will be able to sample the chocolates, use tickets for beers and purchase bars to-go directly from the chocolatiers.

In addition to the beer, cider, and chocolate, The Barreled Bee will be sampling and selling barrel-aged honey; Marshall's Haute Sauce will be doing the same with their food friendly flavors; and House Spirits will sample their liquors including Westward single malt whiskey.

General Admission is $25 at the door or in advance, limited VIP tickets get attendees an hour early entrance to sample before the crowds, as well as a 33 Chocolates tasting notebook.
