Join owner of Gearharts Fine Chocolates, Tim Gearhart, and our Taproom Director, Massie Wallace, for a guided beer and chocolate pairing to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Grab your partner, bestie, or enjoy a fun solo evening! 

The event will be on Friday, February 13th, from 6:30 - 8:30 PM at our West Creek location in the Stave Cave.

Your $35 ticket includes:

• Guided tasting by Tim and Massie

• A curated Hardywood craft beer flight

• A hand-picked selection of Gearharts Fine Chocolate

Hardywood Craft Beer Flight:

• Richmond Lager - 5% ABV. Real unfiltered American Craft Lager. A portion of the grain bill incorporates Virginia-grown and malted 2-row barley by Murphy and Rude Malting Company. The use of Cascade hops lends a subtle citrus note in the finish.

• Singel - 6.2% ABV. Unfiltered, unpasteurized, and uninhibited, Hardywood Singel is a sunshine-golden beer with a fluffy white head and a veil of Belgian ale yeast. A delicate body balances tropical fruit esters with spicy hop aromatics. 

• Hot 4 You - 13.9% ABV. Grape Brandy Barrel Aged Imperial Milk Stout with Guajillo Peppers, New Mexico Chiles, Cinnamon, and Dark Chocolate. 

• Bourbon Barrel-Aged Belgian Quadruppel finished on Cascara - 12% ABV. Aged for five months in bourbon barrels, it develops a robust foundation of rich, caramelized sweetness and a comforting warmth. Following this aging, a unique finishing touch of cascara, the dried coffee cherry husk, introduces intriguing complexity.

Gearharts Fine Chocolate Selection:

• Va. Maple Caramel - Caramels featuring rich Highland County, Virginia maple syrup, dipped in our fine milk chocolate and finished with Alaea red sea salt.

• Apricot Brandy - Milk chocolate ganache with dried apricots soaked in French cognac, finished in both dark and milk chocolates.

• Maya - Bittersweet chocolate ganache flavored with cinnamon, Ancho chili, and orange, dusted with cocoa.

• Michigan Cherry - Dark chocolate ganache with Kirsch and dried Michigan cherries, dipped in dark chocolate.
