Beer Jelly Beans

When candy makers at Jelly Belly Candy Co. set
out to create the world’s first beer flavored jelly
bean, the question wasn’t how; it was what. Ale
or Lager? Stout? Lambic? Pilsner? In the end,
the company opted for a Hefeweizen-inspired
ale flavor, and Draft Beer Jelly Belly®
jelly beans took shape.  Beer has been a highly-
requested flavor by consumers for decades.

“This took about three years to perfect,” says
Ambrose Lee, research and development
manager for Jelly Belly Candy Co. “The recipe
includes top secret ingredients, but I can tell you
it contains no alcohol.” The effervescent and
crisp flavor is packed in a golden jelly bean with
an iridescent finish. Beer connoisseurs will find
the flavor profile to be clean with notes of wheat
and a touch of sweetness. The aroma is bready.

“Usually the factory has a sweet and fruity
aroma, but when we’re making this flavor it’s
just like being in an ale house,” says Jeff Brown,
vice president in charge of manufacturing for
the company.  “Anyone who enjoys a good,
cold beer will enjoy Draft Beer Jelly Belly beans
for the simple fact that it tastes just as you’d
imagine,” says Rob Swaigen, vice president of
marketing for Jelly Belly Candy Company.

Well, what did you expect him to say?

More and more brews are being packaged in what most
people still think of as Champagne bottles, sealed with actual
corks and wire cages.  Beer authority and brewmaster
Garrett Oliver has  pointed out that brewers used those
thick, heavy bottles before wine -makers did.
