While I am not a fan of beer, I do like apple cider and pumpkin spiced beer. When it comes to Halloween candy, I love it all…but candy corn. I do not know anyone who likes it.
That is me, it is not Westallion Brewing Company in West Allis, Wisconsin. The brewery has a new flavor on tap and it is candy corn flavored beer. They describe it as, “We created a cream ale using lactose sugars to keep some sweetness, but added Simcoe hops to create a bit of a bite and a balance (and maybe help remind us that it’s still beer?). Instead of smashing up some candy corns and throwing them in our beer, we made our own candy corn out of less beer destructive ingredients and threw them into our beer!”
Is it wrong of me, but I so want to try it. It sounds weird enough to be delicious?
BTW did you know candy corn is created by the company now known as Jelly Belly? Before they were known by their name, they were called chicken feed. Which it totally looks like when you think about it. Thank you to the Westallion Brewing Company for sharing that sweet piece of information.
On May 24th, Disney’s Aladdin is getting the live-action treatment and today we are getting our first look at it. While we are able to see Mena Massoud in the title role, we did not get to hear Will Smith as the Genie. Isn’t that all we really care about?
But then again, I have no temptation to see it because it is directed by Madonna’s ex Guy Ritchie who directed one of the worst movies ever. Have you seen Swept Away? It was beyond painful. I was rooting for everyone to drown.
Yesterday, NBC picked up New Amsterdam for a full season and today CBS did the same for one of their new shows. Dick Wolf’s FBI will be around until the spring.
Is it a surprise? No, it is on after their most-watched show, so it does well in the ratings. Should it have? Well, I think the messaging on this show is awful and would not mind if last week’s episode was its last.
But considering they are on their third show runner and we are in the third week of the fall season, maybe it will get better. But I doubt it.
