With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, chances are you might already have chocolate on the mind (Although, some of us always have chocolate on the mind). Pike Brewing Company is here to help you get your chocolate fix. The brewery will hold their 4th Annual Pike ChocoFest at the Pike Pub & Brewery from 6pm to 9pm this Sunday, February 12, with the stated goal “to expose food lovers to the natural harmony of chocolate and beer.” There will be at least fifty-nine product reps on hand sampling beer, wine, spirits, mead, and cider, to pair with chocolate, food, and cheese from local businesses. The cost of the event is $30, with proceeds going to benefit FareStart, a culinary job training and placement program for homeless and disadvantaged individuals.

Local breweries will be on hand, as well as a few choice imports, and some will be bringing their own versions of beer made with chocolate. Pike will be pouring a XXXX Cocoa Cherry Porter brewed just for the occasion on their new pilot brewing system.

Just a few of the participating businesses include Fran’s Chocolates, Theo Chocolate, Lazy Boy Brewing, Fremont Brewing, Finn River Cidery, Naked City Brewery, Woodinville Whiskey Co., Mistral Kitchen, and Macrina Bakery.
