Craft beer and candy might seem like a strange match at first. But brewers near and far have been making these two opposites attract for quite some time. In fact, Norasha-Nya Burton, general manager at Centro Ybor’s Brass Tap, says curating a flight of beers from her draft list that mirrors the experience of downing your favorite Halloween confections with a complementary brew — minus the extra calories — is a breeze.

“I’m giving the guests a trip down candy lane where the beer industry is taking us — where I can give you the mental image that you’re eating this specific candy or that specific candy,” Burton told CL. “I could do a flight pairing right now, and you could be eating an Almond Joy, Reese’s, Smarties and a Tootsie Pop just from four different beers.”

As Burton puts it, these adventurous creations that push the envelope — which aren’t necessarily candy-inspired, but do trigger a similar, complex flavor profile — are where beer is headed. While they might not have been around five or so years ago, the industry has evolved in such a way that beer lovers can essentially eliminate the candy part of the suds-meet-candy pairing.

Sweet Baby Jesus!, a chocolate peanut butter porter from Baltimore-based DuClaw Brewing Co., is reminiscent of a Reese’s cup, for example, while an MIA Beer Company fruited Berliner Weisse, Encanto De Amor, conjures Sour Patch Kids.

“I love that we can manipulate beer in such a way that you can eliminate the candy. That’s sort of where I stand on it. Not that I don’t think that they can be paired, but the experience through beer should be how we mimic real life. And we’re accomplishing that so well right now that you almost don’t need to have a pairing,” Burton said.

So, if you were thinking about marrying candy and beer to ring in the upcoming holiday, here’s a roundup of s’more brews that taste just as good as the real thing. Think of it as, like, adult trick-or-treating. Or something.

Beer: Bell Cow Milk Chocolate Porter

Brewed by: JDub’s Brewing Company, Sarasota

FFO: Hershey’s

According to Burton, the brewery even uses Hershey’s syrup in this one.

Beer: Peanut Butter Deja Moo Milk Stout

Brewed by: Hidden Springs Ale Works, Tampa Heights

FFO: Reese’s

Deja Moo is served on a nitro tap, resulting in a super-smooth pour that’s comparable to the beloved peanut butter rounds. It’s also a good choice for the Snickers fiend in your life.
