Pairing Beer & Chocolate

Saturday, Feb 10th - Sunday, Feb 11th

Bring your friends (or your Valentine) out for a fun-filled Valentine’s Day weekend at Old Bust Head! 

This year we've partnered with chocolate-themed restaurant, The Conche, to bring you 12 carefully selected chocolate and OBH beer pairings.  

The Chocolate 

We took a trip out to Leesburg, Va to visit The Conche and indulge ourselves in some chocolate (hard work, we know). There we met Executive Chef and owner, Santosh Tiptur, who has over twenty years of experience as a pastry chef. Known for bringing a whimsical flair to both his savory and sweet creations, Tiptur's enduring love of chocolate started when he was growing up in India in the seventies. Now he brings his expertise to The Conche, named for a 19th century machine which reinvented the blending process for chocolate. Through Conching, the flavor of the chocolate is improved by prolonged churning and stirring of the ingredients. We're not experts, but we can attest that everything we sampled was delicious!
