Lucky Charms Inspired Beer Brewed with Marshmallows

You know I always thought that the Lucky Charms leprechaun seemed a little drunk. Hey, if you drink enough you’re gonna be seeing pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, and blue diamonds everywhere. This Lucky Charms inspired beer is exactly what he would drink.

C’mon you know this little dude was hopped up on something. Back in the ’80s, all of the cereal mascots were on something.

Norfolk, Virginia based Smartmouth Brewing Company’s Saturday Morning IPA probably should not be a part of a nutritious breakfast on Saturday mornings when watching cartoons. This Lucky Charms inspired beer is actually brewed with cereal marshmallow bits. The 6.6% ABV brew will be available for a limited time before Saint Patrick’s Day, but only in Virginia at select bars, restaurants, and beer stores.

Smartmouth says the IPA is “..brewed with in-house toasted marshmallows and bulk dehydrated-marshmallow-bits. It has been hopped and dry-hopped with Galaxy and Calypso hops. The nose is sweet and citrus, with orange and pear aromas. It has a soft pillowy body with a slight cereal taste. The result is magically ridiculous!”

I guess they say that that’s because they can’t legally say that “it’s magically delicious,” even if the beer actually is.
