Campfire Beer Caramelizer

S'more Beer, Please

The campfire is cracking, the marshmallows are getting toasty, and your cold beer is ready to undergo a flavor transformation. Pull this stainless steel rod out of the flames and stick it in that icy brew to create a rich, frothy treat. Yep, you read that right: Adding a little heat to your alcohol caramelizes the sugars, changing the texture and taste.

It's German tradition to plunge sizzling fire pokers into bocks—strong lagers that are ready to drink in chilly early spring—to add smoky sweetness and create a warmer, smoother mouthfeel. This modern take on the poker isn't sharp and has a real beer tap handle for safer gripping. It also comes apart for easy transport to a campsite, or from the kitchen to your fireplace or backyard BBQ pit. Try it with classic bocks, your own favorite beers, cocktails, or any drink containing sugar. (It's called a beer caramelizer, but we think it has hot chocolate written all over it.) Made in China.
