Marshmallow Beer: All of the Facts with None of the Fluff

Who doesn’t like marshmallows?  Ancient Egyptians were the first to enjoy a gooey treat now called marshmallow as early as 2000 BC.  Today, whether it’s in a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter’s night, or smooshed with chocolate between graham crackers around the campfire, marshmallows are a fun way to add a little sweetness to life.  But what about marshmallow in beer?

Marshmallows add sweetness to beer, obviously.  But quality marshmallows have other flavors, too.  In the hands of a skilled brewer, marshmallows can be used to make novel beers that please tastebuds and even evoke childhood memories.  Marshmallows are more than just a cylindrical confection sold in bulk at the grocery store.  It’s time to understand the true art of marshmallow beer.
