What if your kid’s first beer was a jelly bean?

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Jelly Belly Candy Company has launched the first beer-flavored jelly bean, called Draft Beer.

Beer has been a oft-requested flavor for decades. After years of working on the formulation, the non-alcoholic product is ready for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter baskets and beyond.

Jelly Belly sent us a sample and yes, it does taste like beer. The irridescent pale gold jelly beans are alcohol free, yet deliver a beer aroma and subtle beer flavor.

A 16-ounce re-sealable bag (approximately 400 jelly beans) is $8.99.

If you really want to tie one on, a 10-pound bulk box is $85.99.

Stock up for National Jelly Bean Day, April 22nd. (Here’s the history of the jelly bean.)

WANT THEM IN GREEN?

There’s a limited edition of the Draft Beer Jelly Belly, colored green for St. Patrick’s day, available exclusively at Jelly Belly Visitor and Tour Centers in California and Wisconsin.

All Jelly Belly jelly bean flavors are dairy free, fat free, gluten free, OU kosher, peanut free and vegetarian.

Bottoms up!
