Chocolate Seafood Beers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Choc Lobster Beer Infuses Seafood with Cocoa for a Unique Flavor

— July 31, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Choc Lobster beer is a chocolate-flavored seafood-infused beer that is surprisingly delicious. While you might think the pairing of chocolate and lobster is a unique one to say the least, this dark beer is incredibly flavorful with deliciously sweet undertones.

Dogfish Head uses Maine-raised lobsters and cocoa power as the main ingredients in its Choc Lobster beer. According to blog Grub Street the Choc Lobster beer is a lot like "... a dry stout, very dark in the glass, and lighter in body than something like Guinness." The heavier texture of this beer is complemented by the chocolate powder flavoring that adds an aromatic profile to this dark beer. Sadly the Choc Lobster beer is only available in draft at the Dogfish Head pub in Delaware so if you're in the area definitely stop by for a glass.
Trend Themes
1. Seafood-infused Beers - Breweries can create unique flavors of beers using seafood.
2. Chocolate-flavored Beers - Introducing chocolate as a flavoring agent in beers can yield surprisingly delicious results.
3. Local Ingredient Sourcing - Breweries can differentiate from competitors by seeking out and utilizing ingredients sourced from local producers, like Dogfish Head's use of Maine-raised lobsters.
Industry Implications
1. Brewing - Breweries can experiment with their recipes and ingredients to create unique and innovative beers, such as seafood-infused and chocolate-flavored beers.
2. Food and Beverage - The introduction of seafood-infused and chocolate-flavored beers can provide new and exciting product offerings for food and beverage companies and restaurants.
3. Agriculture - Breweries can collaborate with local farmers and producers to source unique and high-quality ingredients for their beers, bolstering local agriculture and differentiating their brand.
