Virtual Tasting Party Guided by Renowned Experts!

The winning bidder will host a fabulous beer, chocolate, and jerky tasting for up to 8 individuals . . . guided virtually by Bill Covaleski (co-founder of Victory Brewing Company), Christopher Curtin (founder of Eclat Chocolate), and Brendan Cawley (founder of Righteous Felon Craft Jerky).

The tasting can be scheduled for a date (before March 18, 2024) mutually agreeable to the winning bidder and the three tasting guides.

The day before the tasting, a menu of delicious chocolate, beer and jerky for up to 8 individuals will be delivered to you!

You and your guests will be guided via Zoom through the tasting by:

• Bill Covaleski (Victory Brewing Company, Downingtown). Bill co-founded Victory Brewing Company with Ron Barchet. Each developed their love of brewing through the years, but it wasn't until they were disenchanted with jobs in the corporate world, that they decided to turn their hobby into a career. Each sought experience in the US and across the world. With the right knowledge, experience, and love for quality beer, in February 1996, they opened Victory Brewing Company. Over the last 25 years, Victory Brewing has grown to be a world-renowned craft brewery and the second largest craft brand family in Pennsylvania.

• Christopher Curtin (Eclat Chocolate, West Chester). The journey to become a Master Chocolatier and founder of Eclat Chocolate began more than two decades ago. Christopher left Wisconsin to study at the House of le Companion du Devoir. There he worked with some of the best Pastry chefs in Europe and became the first American awarded the honor of German Master Pastry Chef and Chocolatier. He continued to work with the masters, honing his skills in the world's finest chocolate houses, sharing in secrets and techniques that earned him accolades including "Best Truffle in America," "One of the greatest chocolatiers in the world," and "Best Chocolates in America." Most recently, Food and Wine called Christopher Curtin "masterful" and named Eclat to its list of "50 Best Chocolate Shops in America." He continues his journey through Eclat Chocolate, and consulting with chefs and artisans worldwide.

• Brendan Cawley (Righteous Felon Craft Jerky, West Chester). What can you say about a company whose website is laugh-out-loud funny but whose mission to create the world's best jerky is deadly serious? You can say it's Righteous Felon Craft Jerky, founded by Brendan Cawley, two Cawley brothers, and a handful of life-long friends from Downingtown. Cawley started making and selling jerky at age 11. Righteous Felon Craft Jerky has gone from selling to local bars to having a presence from coast to coast, with customers including Giant Foods, Kimpton Hotels, Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, William-Sonoma, specialty markets, among others. The company uses only pasture-raised Black Angus beef that is dry-aged for 21 days prior to "jerkification" to ensure absorption of a delicious marinade into the beef.

This package is truly Priceless!
