Give me one of those Hop Candies!

I went in to my local brew supply shop Homesteaders Brew Supply to get a few things (Star san and a bottle filler).  If you did not know today was my Bottling day. I know f***ing awesome. My 1610 Brown Ale is now bottled and conditioning, But I will do a follow up blog on that later.


Anyway, To todays topic. I was in the brew shop talking to the owner about recipes when candy caught my eye.  It was Hop candy, Made with real hop oils. The company that makes them is B Hoppy Candys. They have a few hop flavors , Like Cascade, Nugget, and East Kent Goldings.  As I was looking at them I asked him if they are any good. He reached under the counter and pulled out 4 or 5 sandwich bags with smaller sample pieces and said try them. So I did and WOW  I don't know which one I tried first but it was very hoppy but good.  If you like IPAs then you will like this candy.


B Hoppy Candies



























They come in bigger pieces than what is in the picture. This is some sample pieces that I took home and I broke in to smaller chunks so my wife and kids could try. Lets just say they were not the biggest fans.  My three year old said in his words " its Buscusting". Ha ha I think they are an acquired taste that I have acquired.




In the picture Below is the packaging they come in.
