Trick or treat doesn’t just have to be for the kids anymore, especially if you unlock the secret to being the most-visited house on the block. No, it’s not full-sized candy bars (although who in their right mind would turn those down?). The answer is homebrew. Halloween is BOO-ing time after all.

Parents everywhere will thank you for helping them brave the cold and sometimes rainy slog from door to door. Warm them up a bit o’ DIPA, a pint of spooky stout or even a haunted helles.

Check out our handy chart and just know, it’s OK to raid your little pirate’s candy stash for pairing options. Lean into the season with spiced ales and candy corn. A salty caramel balances out the hoppiness of an imperial IPA. Scare up scotch ales with terrifying toffees, but save the stouts for your favorite peanut butter cups.

What’s your favorite Halloween candy to pair with beer?
