All About Beer

Who doesn’t like marshmallows? Ancient Egyptians were the first to enjoy a gooey treat now called marshmallow as early as 2000 BC. Today, whether it’s in a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter’s night, or smooshed with chocolate between graham crackers around the campfire, marshmallows are a fun way to add a little sweetness to life.

Marshmallows are more than just a cylindrical confection sold in bulk at the grocery store. It’s time to understand the true art of marshmallow beer.
