Libation-Flavored Candies

The Jelly Belly Draft Beer Flavor Jelly Beans are Nonalcoholic

The Jelly Belly Draft beer flavor jelly beans are a tasty option from the confection brand that will offer consumers a way to enjoy the taste of a premium libation without the associated hangover. Nonalcoholic and packaged in an aluminum can, the candies are brown in color and have a flavor that is directly inspired by the crisp profile of a freshly poured pint of beer.

The Jelly Belly Draft beer flavor jelly beans are tasty on their own, but are encouraged by the brand to be eaten alongside other flavors to create different variations that are inspired by different beer cocktails. This includes pairing two of the beans with a peach-flavored one for a sangria-inspired flavor or even with a Tabasco one and a lemon-lime one for a Michelada-inspired experience.
