    Beer Chips

    Posted: September 14th, 2010, 12:18am CEST by Al

    Beer Chips originally appeared on Hop Talk.

    When it comes to snacks, especially snacks I have with my beer, I generally like them simple. Salty. Maybe a little fat. Crunchy.

    So, what to make of potato chips made with beer?

    My wife, who not only supports my little blogging habit but actively helps out, found these Beer Chips…somewhere.

    They proclaim they are “potato chips made with beer” (seems obvious) and the bag has a number of mildly amusing bits of text (like the upside down text that warns that if you can read it your spilling your chips on the floor).

    How do they taste? Well, they’re crunchy enough, and there’s some salt to them, but they’re awfully sweet for my taste. Actually, unexpectedly so.

    The listed ingredients tell the story: potatoes, sunflower oil and/or corn oil, sugar, maltodextrin, BEER (malted barley, corn syrup, hops, yeast), salt, honey (cane syrup, honey), yeast extract.

    First, that’s a lot of sugar and sweet stuff. Second, what kind of beer has corn syrup in it?!

    So someone might like these, but I don’t. A shame, but I’ll stick to my beer-less potato chips.
