On Your Mark, non-alcoholic Blonde
Tasting Notes: Light & Citrusy
Suggested Candies: Candy Corn, Chocolate Covered Pretzels, Butterfinger, Popcorn
Our favorite pairing: Candy Corn
Tart candies are the go to for a Blonde Ale but also give candy corn and some salty snacks a try! Candy Corn is a divisive candy concoction, even voted nationally as “the worst candy ever made” but for us? We like it…seasonally, of course. Throw your hand in the bag and enjoy a handful of these savory little treats alongside your Kit NA Brewing On Your Mark Blonde.
Looking for a fun little mix in? Cocktail peanuts. Throw a handful of nuts in with your candy corn and enjoy the sweet and salty combo that tastes almost just like a Babe Ruth.

Our favorite pairing: Sour Patch Kids
If a Wheat Ale lands upon your lap grab a pack of those sour candies, your tastebuds will thank you! The spice from the Wheat will offset and compliment any sour twangs that work their way through your nervous system! We are a fan of Sour Patch Kids, “first they’re sour, then they’re sweet” - it’s the best of both worlds!
