What to have with your beer on National Beer Day, April 7th? Beyond the chips and pretzels, how about expanding your horizons to a beer and chocolate pairing?

Dallmann Fine Chocolates of San Marcos, California (near La Jolla and San Diego) has curated a box of chocolates meant to be paired with the suds from some of the area’s craft breweries.

While you may not have access to those specific beers, you can find similar ones wherever you are.

It’s a great gift for a beer lover…and Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are coming up.
