Sadly, it looks like I've been out of the beer-flavored candy loop for quite some time now. My disappointment is immense.
The latest issue of BeerAdvocate's print edition turned me on to a type of traditional British candy called Pint Pots. The tiny beer glass-shaped, gummy-style candies supposedly provide a "disturbingly accurate though synthetic scent of beer" and present a taste "somewhere between a brown ale and cider." They contain no alcohol, however, so don't plan on getting a buzz while satiating your sweet-tooth just yet. Still, spicing up a Halloween party candy bowl with some gummy beers sounds like fun. (See all the excitement you can have by simply changing an "a" to an "e"!)
There are plenty of places you can order Pint Pots from online (BeerAdvocate suggested The Pink Sweet Shop), though all the places I found ship them from across the pond, so if you want them to arrive by October 31st, get your order in ASAP.
