It’s hard to imagine candy corn getting MORE divisive, but this could do it: There’s now a candy corn . . . BEER.
Shock Top has unveiled a new “Candy Corn Wheat” . . . a limited-edition beer they’ve created with Spirit Halloween. It’s a 5% ABV, so yeah, this is definitely an ADULT thing.
They say it’s already available at “select beverage retailers,” and it sounds like there’s a chance it could become a regular, seasonal thing if it sells.
As for the flavor, someone who tried it said, “The sweetness is surprisingly restrained while still very much tasting like a wheat beer. The candy corn flavor is definitely present, but it’s more of a little ‘Halloween flourish’ than something beating you over the head with a plastic pumpkin bucket full of sugar.”
In the comments, people shared some thoughts . . .
One said, “This is diabolical.” Someone else said, “Bro, I’m so ready to try this,” while another added, “I neeed to try it.” And there were plenty of grimacing and vomiting GIFs that made it abundantly clear where they stood.
Someone is asking for them to make a non-alcoholic version . . . and someone else said, “So sick!” It’s unclear if they said that because they thought this was awesome, or if they’d just drank a bottle and weren’t feeling great.
The other part of the collab is that Spirit Halloween’s website is carrying a “Wedgehead Costume,” featuring Shock Top’s mascot. It’s priced at $70.
To be clear: Neither of these will be available AT Spirit. The costume is an online-only exclusive . . . and the Candy Corn beer is at select stores that sell alcohol.
