It's never recommended to have beer for breakfast. In fact, if you probably did have beer for breakfast, people would look at you differently and probably call you an alcoholic - although that might not exactly be the case.
Having toast and coffee is just about normal, but having beer with your toast? That might just be possible now, thanks to Walt and Nancy Warner.

The Vermont-based entrepreneurs have just created a way to make beer into a jam.
Walt and Nancy Warner have just turned this nightcap beverage into a condiment, which you can generously slather onto a slice of toast, or a croissant, even!

The idea came to the couple when Nancy Warner ran out of fresh fruit from her backyard to turn into some jam.

Walt Warner recounts, "In the winter of 2011, when she ran out of fresh fruit, she started moving onto other things, including balsamic vinegar, coffee, and wine and found she could turn anything into jelly with a little work."
"Then she was like, 'I like beer and we have plenty of beer in the house so let's make jelly out of beer!' She was working on it for about two or three weeks and finally got one that worked," Walt Warner recalled.

Called "Beer Jelly," the jam is made with a wide array of stouts and pale ales from local breweries, which gives it its "deep and bold" flavor. Of course, it's mixed in with cane sugar and citrus pectin too.

However, this type of beer jam might only be attractive those who like the beer taste, and not the alcohol content. Naturally, the alcoholic content of the beer eventually evaporates during its cooking process, so "Beer Jelly" is actually alcohol-free!

Beer Jelly has been a massive hit to the point that Walt and Nancy Warner actually sell 3,000 jars within just a week.
