Here’s some quick Halloween-themed beer news to enjoy: New Orleans’ Urban South Brewery recently released three beers in its “Goodies” series, which are brewed with candy.

Starting with a cream ale base, the beers are conditioned on 50 pounds or more of each type of candy. Beers in the Goodies series include:

• Goodies Sour Patch Kids: This isn’t the traditional way to brew a sour beer!
• Goodies Snickers: Chocolate, caramel and peanut butter flavors.
• Goodies Almond Joy: Almond, chocolate and coconut flavors.

The beers were released on the 22nd and two of them (Sour Patch and Almond Joy) are currently available on the brewery’s web store.

I’m not sure how these might have turned out, but I have had beer conditioned on candy before, so… I’d at least try them if I they were available to me.
