In this episode of Bean to Barstool, David Nilsen talks with Mike King of Encore Coffee and Chocolate about the overlap between these worlds, what he’s learned about each from the other, how sourcing and roasting and flavor formulation differs between them, and how he creates the delicious coffee infused bars like Cafe Mocha, Vanilla Latte, and Caramel Macchiato in his Coffee House Series.
This is the first in a four-part series called Collaborations for Chocolate Makers. In this episode, we’re looking at why craft chocolate makers should consider collaborating with other businesses and what to consider before beginning a collab partnership.
In this episode, Jason Brewer and Zac Boenhke of Wandering Monsters Brewing in Cincinnati talk about how they approach brewing with cacao nibs, vanilla, and other flavor ingredients, how their high concept adjunct stouts come together, where they source their cacao, and why beers of this type are worth taking seriously and approaching thoughtfully.
