Light beer, such as Miller Lite, or Bud Light -- so as not to overpower
the subtlety of the chocolate. HTH :-)

After a brewing expo, a bunch of executives from various companies
decided to go out for drinks.

The guy from Miller says, "Give me the 'Champagne of Beers,' Miller High
Life." The bartender serves him.

The guy from Budweiser says, "Give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser."
The bartender gives him one.

The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky
Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.

The guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The
bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.

The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, "a Coke? Why are
you ordering Coke?" The Guinness president replies, "Well, if you guys
aren't drinking beer, neither will I."
