BREWING WITH CACAO NIBS
At TCHO, we're obsessed with amazing flavor – starting from the cacao tree all the way to a wrapped chocolate bar.
Through our unique sourcing program, TCHO Source, we work directly with our farmer partners, co-ops, and cocoa research institutes throughout the globe to co-create the best cacao beans. That way, we can make mouthwatering chocolate, and you can make some seriously tasty chocolatey beer.
ROASTED TO PERFECTION
Cacao is similar to wine and coffee in that the terroir of the region affects the flavors of the bean. We hand-select beans from different origins, which have been meticulously fermented, dried, and roasted, to highlight the inherent flavors found in cacao. Cacao nibs are the “meat” of the cacao bean, which we use to grind into chocolate or steep into beers.
Cacao nibs bring rich, complex flavors—notes of chocolate, coffee, and subtle nuttiness—without added sweetness, making them ideal for enhancing stouts, porters, and experimental brews. Often added during secondary fermentation, they naturally complement malts and hops, adding depth and character to each batch. Their versatility makes them a standout ingredient for creating bold, memorable brews.
TCHO offers 3 distinct cacao nib varieties from Ghana, Ecuador, and Peru. Each delivering a unique flavor profile to elevate your beer.
