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.
