Hi there,
Anybody out there heard of, or know of, any wine or beer drinks that are made from or with cacao that are available in the US?

Ash -
One of the projects I am working on is Solbeso - the world's first distilled beverage made from 100% fresh cacao fruit juice. We're registered for sale in NY, FL, and CA and ship to most states. It's 40% ABV, not 5-12% which is what a wine or beer would be, but it is very tasty. Let me know if you are interested and I can give you contact info for how to purchase.

The Black Inca beer is from Australia and you can contact ChocolateLife member Igor van Gerwen about getting some. We're registered for sale in California, so I need to connect to figure out how you can order. I will get back to you.
Have you checked out Theobroma from DogFishHead Brewery?

Clay, I'm a former Los Angelino now living in Panama (and making chocolate in the Chiriqui Highlands). I will be visiting family in Los Angeles in mid-May and would LOVE to find Solbeso. Will be available for purchase by then? The company website says they are not yet launched in CA.
Youngs Double Chocolate Stout - you should be abvle to get this anywhere
Boatswain Chocolate Stout - I get mine at Trader Joes
and my favorite beer of all: Gearys Winter Ale - the brewery is a mile from home.
