Chocolate and coffee seem to be made for each other! Whether you are having a simple well made mocha or pairing a bar with a single origin espresso, chocolate can compliment, enhance, and make more accessible the specialty coffee we serve. Yet, as much as we know about coffee, we tend to fall short when it comes to this very important part of our shops menu and offerings. This week we are talking with coffee pro and chocolate enthusiast, Brian Beyke to help us understand the world of craft chocolate and how we can make steps to level up our chocolate offerings in the cafe to better compliment the coffee we are so proud of. I learned a lot in this chat and I know you will too! Enjoy!
Brian is the Director of Digital Sales, Marketing, and Communications for Quills Coffee in Louisville, KY. He is also a co-host of both the I Brew My Own Coffee Podcast and Unwrapped - A Conversation About Chocolate podcasts.
