Rejoice beer lovers, you can now enjoy alcoholic beverages in candy form.
The popular candy company Jelly Belly announced a beer-flavored jelly bean Sunday, in honor of the company's German heritage. The bean will be called "Draft Beer" and taste like a "Hefeweizen-inspired ale."

The flavor took three years to perfect, according to a Jelly Belly press release. But the candy won't land you with a buzz — the jelly bean contains no actual traces of alcohol.
"Beer connoisseurs will find the flavor profile to be clean with notes of wheat and a touch of sweetness," the press release states. "The aroma is mildly bready."
The jelly bean joins several other cocktail-inspired flavors from Jelly Belly, including Mai Tai, Pina Colada and Margarita.
The flavor is already sold out on Jelly Belly's website, proving beer in any form is bound to be a big hit — except for parents, that is.
Several outraged candy fans have taken to Jelly Belly's Facebook page to air grievances about how the flavor will encourage children to drink.
"You have developed a flavor that that may encourage minors (like I was 20+ years ago or my own children today) to develop a substance abuse problem," Mindy Chemacki posted on Facebook. "Just as bad, have you though about recovering alcoholics who are harmed by such an influence ... I hope that you prayerfully reconsider this decision."
Jelly Belly replied to the comments on Facebook citing the other "adult" flavors they've sold since 1977.
"We really do have many more adults fans for a gourmet product than we do kids," Jelly Belly wrote online. "We surveyed kids to find out what their favorite flavors are, then put those flavors into our Kids Mix collection, just for the kids. There's basically something for everyone and everyone gets to select their favorites."
