Pennsylvania-based, family-owned chocolate manufacturer Asher’s Chocolate Co. and New Jersey-based brewery Cape May Brewing Company announce the launch of a seasonal brand collaboration inspired by the pairing of beer and chocolate-covered pretzels. The limited release will include the Dipped & Twisted: a Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Imperial Brown Ale and two limited-edition candies, Cape May Crunch and Malted Sea Salt Caramels. The products are expected to hit shelves the week of November 6 and will be available while supplies last.
Brewed with Asher’s chocolate, sea salt and caramel, this beer features a smooth, sweet and salty flavor and 8% ABV. Customers can find Dipped & Twisted: a Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Imperial Brown Ale on draft and in six-packs at the Cape May Brewing Tasting Room in Cape May, New Jersey and select locations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
“We are delighted to announce this partnership with Asher’s Chocolate Co! Our brewmasters have been working hard with their chocolatiers craft a one-of-a-kind sweet-and-salty beer,” says Ryan Krill, president and co-founder, Cape May Brewing Company.
Infused with a malt extract, the salty Cape May Crunch and chocolatey Malted Sea Salt Caramel candies do not contain alcohol. Customers can find pre-packaged coffee bags of the two chocolates at Asher’s Chocolate Retail Store & Candy Factory in Souderton, Pennsylvania and online at ashers.com/shop.
“We’re excited to pair our favorite snacks, chocolate-covered pretzels, with malted beer flavors to create some truly unique treats,” says Chester Asher, fifth-generation marketing director, Asher’s Chocolate Co.
