Cooking With Beer – Sierra Nevada India Pale Ale Gummies

Gummies were once considered a second tier candy, a sweet you might turn to for that sugar rush when the chocolates were gone.

But with the growth of the recreational cannabis industry they are experiencing a popular resurgence for understandable reasons.

And now, one of the nation’s leading craft brewers has come up with its own IPA infused variation, but you will need a candy mold, and not surprisingly Amazon has tons of them. But know that silicon molds are the best when it comes to beer gummies.

This uber-simple candy recipe comes our way from Chico, California-based Sierra Nevada Brewing. And it uses the brewery’s bestselling Big Little Thing IPA, a 9% ABV Imperial India Pale Ale with a full malt body, a restrained sweetness, and tropical hop flavors of mango, grapefruit and tangerine that play well in these gummies.

And now when your friend offers you one of his “special” gummies you can enjoy one of your own.

So let’s do this!
