With the tagline “Eat Good Chocolate, Eat Good Granola, Eat Good Snacks, Eat Good Treats, Eat Good Goodies”, Ranger Chocolate is a rarity in the tributary of confectioners in the area. With a desire to foster positive partnerships, Ranger Chocolate found Double Mountain, or maybe it was Double Mountain that found Ranger chocolate to produce a unique beer - Chocolate Stout.
Brewed and released during a period when patterned, outwear is the norm. Chocolate Stout is a compliment to those aching bones and muscles, ravaged from a day on the slopes. Described by the brewery, Chocolate Stout has, “Notes of dark bread, baking chocolate, molasses, and dark fruit lead into a dry finish”.
“Yes, we put cocoa in it, and yes, it tastes chocolaty but first and foremost it is a stout. My hope for this beer was that you would want to drink several of them—and maybe be motivated to do a little snow dance.” Jen House, Brewer and Barrel Aging Master
At 6.8% ABV (alcohol by volume) and 55 BU (bittering units), Chocolate Stout calls to you.
Available in their reusable 500ml bottles (where supported) and on draft at their Hood River and SE Portland Taprooms, look for this collaboration between Double Mountain and Ranger today.

REDUCE, REUSE, REPEAT!
With news appearing throughout media outlets on the shortcomings of recycling and OPB reporting that Oregon recycling is on the decline, we determined that there is no better time than the present to share the information on why to choose refillable bottles. Complimenting this delicious experimental series, each beer’s label highlights the benefits of using refillable bottles. The carbon footprint of refillable bottles is vastly lower than other container choices, making it the best container for the environment. Add the benefit of reduced oxidation, and refillable bottles are better for the beer too. Reduce, Reuse, Repeat, a solid mantra, not only for refillable bottles but containers in general.
