As for Gummy Bear Beer, the unusual brew is an experiment. "We try to brew just as often as we can, just these little single batch brews," Hogue said. If all goes as planned, the 20 pounds of Belgian candy sugar and 15 pounds of the bears – that’s about 2,565 multi-colored gummies – will create a Belgian Tripel that’s about 9.2 percent alcohol, Hogue said.
