About four years ago, Portland, Ore., resident Brett Stern was watching someone on television explain how potato chips could be flavored when he looked down at the beer in his hand and thought: There's a good flavor. Why not start a company? He quickly discovered that the ideal domain name was available, and so his Beer Chips were born.
The former industrial designer reduces bock-style beer to a powder that he sprinkles on kettle-cooked potato chips; he uses the same process to make his Margarita and Spicy Bloody Mary flavors as well. The chips are slightly sweet and fairly salty, in addition to the great taste of . . . . His chips are making their way toward East Coast retail stores.

I moved to Portland the same year he started this, and I tried them at the next year's Oregon Brew Festival (where I was volunteering). They are really yummy.

The Beer Chips are hella good once you get past the inital oddness of the taste. The shot chips, I can do without.
