This year, we’re giving your leftover candy stash an upgrade with some killer beer pairings. From sweet and sour to hoppy and crisp, we’ve matched four Funky Buddha favorites with classic Halloween treats for a little trick-or-treating of our own.

Grab your candy bowl, crack open a cold one, and give these combos a try.

Floridian Hefeweizen + Lemonheads

Our German-style wheat beer brings refreshing notes of banana, citrus, and clove to the party. The bright, tart lemon flavor of Lemonheads plays off Floridian’s citrus character, while the candy’s sweetness balances its subtle spice. It’s a zesty combo that just makes sense.

Hop Gun IPA + Payday

Hop Gun’s grapefruit-forward hop character and subtle caramel sweetness make it a surprisingly good match for Payday. The candy’s salty peanuts complement the beer’s malt backbone, while its rich caramel sweetness helps balance the hop bitterness. It’s a killer combination of sweet, salty, and hoppy flavors.

Pregame Pilsner + Kit Kat

Crisp, clean, and endlessly refreshing, Pregame Czech-style Pilsner pairs perfectly with a classic Kit Kat. The candy’s crunchy wafer complements the beer’s subtle malt backbone, while Pregame’s crisp finish cuts through the creamy milk chocolate. Simple, satisfying, and dangerously easy to enjoy.

Cosmic Journey Hazy IPA + Original Starburst

Cosmic Journey’s juicy citrus and stone fruit notes make it a natural partner for the bold fruit flavors of Original Starburst. The candy’s sweetness complements the IPA’s soft, rounded mouthfeel, while its fruity punch brings out the beer’s tropical character. Try a few different Starburst flavors and see which one takes your taste buds furthest.

Whether you’re raiding the leftover Halloween candy or stocking up on your favorites, these pairings are worth sinking your teeth into. Need to get your hands on the beer first? Check out our Beer Finder to find Buddha brews near you.
