Just like Chance the Rapper , we’re grown-ass kids. That’s why we still get overly excited for National Chocolate Day , which conveniently falls on Oct. 28, just ahead of Halloween . We love every variety of the cocoa-infused treat, from Hershey’s bars to M&M’s. We love chocolate so much that we even like to drink it in beer form. That’s why we’re extra stoked to pour a pint (or three) of these chocolate-based brews on this sweet food holiday. Check out some of our favorites sips below.

Prairie BOMB!
This is a beer for people who only like a little chocolate mixed in with the other flavors in their beer. That’s because this Imperial Stout is aged on coffee, chocolate, vanilla beans, and ancho chili peppers.
