Smooth, bitter and dark are some of the terms that can be used to describe both chocolate and beer, which is what makes them such great tasting companions. In recognition of this, Montezuma's created a 'Hogs Back Brewery Bar & Bottle' set that makes it possible for chocolate lovers to get a taste for a rich chocolate bar, as well as an indulgent chocolate lager. Specifically, the unique pairing gives consumers a taste of Montezuma's best-selling Lordy Lord dark chocolate bar, as well as a beer that was developed in partnership with the Hogs Back Brewery.
With the rise of craft beer culture, many consumers have become open to unusual beer pairings, especially those that pair high-end brews with easily accessible treats like chocolates, pizzas and burgers.
