Will Montanans Drink These Unique ‘Candy Inspired Brews’?

The fascination with Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory started back in 1964 with the Roald Dahl novel titled "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". That book was the basis of the 1971 movie starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Today, some 50 plus years later, there is still a fascination "Willy Wonka", with the musical movie release of "Wonka" starring Timothee Chalamet. I admit that I occasionally appreciate a beer, and I have a pretty powerful sweet tooth. I usually don't combine the two. I have tried different candy and beers from many different parts of the world. Maybe I need to rethink the combining of the two after I saw this list of "Candy Beer".

It may seem pretty obvious, but eating something "savory" may be the best bet to go with these sweet infused beers.

I am Not Sure These Beers Would Sell in Montana

There are a lot people who are picky about their beer and what flavors they like. Whether it is a Lager, a Stout, or an I.P.A.  A lot people I know, don't care for fruit in their beer. They normally turn down the offered slice of lime in their "Corona". I can only imagine how they would take an "M & M beer.
