Trick-or-treating is about to take on a whole new meaning for grown-ups. We present the Craft Beer and Brewing's candy and craft-beer pairings for Halloween:
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars + Milk Stout
Pair milk chocolate Hershey’s bars with a smooth, full-bodied milk stout. The added lactose in the beer will enhance the creaminess of the chocolate. Try these milk stouts for starters:
Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Kisses + Raspberry Ale
Try Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Kisses with the crispness and the tartness of a Belgian-style ale with raspberries or a raspberry wheat ale.
Butterfinger Bars + Bock
A traditional German-style bock is a lot like this popular candy bar: dark in color, with sweet caramel aromas and rich, roasty malt flavors. Try these beers with Butterfingers:
Hot Tamales + IPA
Have some hops to cut the heat in these sweet, spicy candies. Go for an IPA that’s more on the floral side (as opposed to the piney or citrusy side).
Candy Corn + Light Lager
Tame the intensity of the sugar of candy corn with a smooth, dry-finishing lager that will also bring out the candy’s caramel flavors.
