Jelly Belly Introduces Beer Beans

Beer lovers are in for a sweet surprise thanks to a jelly bean the Jelly Belly Candy Company debuted in San Francisco over the weekend.

The Fairfield-based candy company unveiled what may be the world's first beer-flavored jelly bean that took three years in the making, according to a company statement.

The non-alcoholic draft beer jelly bean debuted during the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco over the weekend.

Those looking to liven up their palate can combine the beer-flavored jellybeans with other flavors to make a beer sangria, beer cider or Michelada, according to the blog "The Beeroness."

The new beer-flavored jelly beans will be available around the world in the coming months.
