I like beer (we recently started homebrewing) and I like conventions. That’s precisely why I’m excited for my first Great American Beer Festival<\/a> which is conveniently located here in Denver.<\/p>\n

One pro-tip brought to our attention was to bring food<\/em> to a half-day beer tasting convention. Sure, that makes sense. But what is the most convenient and tasty beer-related food you can bring1<\/a><\/sup>?<\/p>\n

If you haven’t seen pretzel necklaces before, they’re simply a piece of string with hard pretzels, soft pretzels, funyons, and any other hole-based snack hanging from your neck. Think candy necklaces for adults.<\/p>\n

You can make a bunch of them quickly if you use an unsharpened pencil or pen to stack up a bunch of the pretzels<\/strong> at once.<\/p>\n

Just tape the string to the top of the pencil, slide the pretzels onto the pencil and viola. Now you don’t have to fumble with threading a flimsy string through a hole.<\/p>\n

I was able to make 3 necklaces this way in less than 5 minutes. I could likely sell one of these for a few bucks at the door while everyone is waiting.<\/p>\n

In short, 36 necklaces per hour at $3 per necklace means over $100 for a quick hour of work.<\/p>\n
