Nearly every year since the founding of the magazine, we’ve assembled a list of suggested beer-and-Halloween candy pairings… And every year, it’s been one of our more popular posts.
Must we block out an afternoon to do it again—to try a bunch of different beers with whatever Halloween candy we have lying around? Twist our arms. Okay. We’re on it.
This time, we first turn to a few experts in beer flavors and pairings to get some specific suggestions. Then, I’ll share the findings from a firsthand tasting experience where the family and I personally tested out several different candies with different beers, looking for winning pairings, and absolutely giving ourselves bellyaches in the process.
