Chocolate Making Workshop with Northumberland's First & Last Brewery

This is one of our collaboration workshops, where we invite a local producer to share their wonderful products and ingredients with us. But its an extra special one, because we have invited First & Last brewers, Red and Sam Kellie, to mark the launch of our Eclipse Milk Stout Truffles! Davenport's Chocolates and First & Last brewery have combined the best of their respective artisan crafts to bring you these unique chocolates.

If you haven't come across them yet, the First & Last Brewery is an award-winning, family-run microbrewery in an old ambulance station in rural Northumberland, founded in 2016 by Red and Sam Kellie. They brew in small batches, with recipes inspired by the landscape and dark skies of Northumberland, often featuring locally sourced and hand-foraged ingredients. You'll get to try a few different ones!

The Eclipse Milk Stout sits at a robust 5.6% ABV, and has a balanced combination of sweet, roasted malty flavours and a smooth, mellow bitterness. It is velvety smooth, with creamy notes from the milk sugars, enhanced by a delicate hint of vanilla. You won't be too surprised to hear that it pairs rather well with chocolate, and we can't wait for you to try it for yourselves!
