A sweet six-pack in the 'ham: beer-infused truffles

   Evolve Chocolate Truffles here in Bellingham has come out with the niftiest six-pack idea:
 six of their truffles, each with a flavoring dollop of a signature brew from one of our local breweries.
From Chuckanut, Pilsner,  Kulshan contributes a bit of Russian Imperial Stout.  The Baltic Porter, recently released by Wander in 750-ml bottles, enhances the truffle called Coffee Date. Boundary Bay's consistently popular Scotch Ale goes into a hazelnut dessert. Chili Bravo, a recent addition to Menace Brewing's taps at its pub The Local, spices up another truffle.  And last but not least, in a truffle touching multiple bases, the Ginger Bacon, we have Aslan's Ginger Rye.
What a clever way to get people who profess not to like beer but who love chocolate to dip a toe into the pool of zymurgical delights.

  1. Thank You so much for coming to visit us at Farmers Market in Bellingham! I love this statement "..clever way to get people who profess not to like beer but who love chocolate to dip a toe into the pool of zymurgical delights." We truly appreciate great, local beer and the ability to encase the subtle nuances of beer in our truffles! Cheers!
