Trader Joe’s ale-infused honey mustard is a new release that plays up the pairing of beer and mustard, which the retailer calls "a long-beloved mainstay of cookouts and picnics." The Honey Pale Ale Mustard combines a base of honey mustard with real craft ale from a California craft brewery to create a condiment that's subtly sweet, earthy, hoppy, savory and slightly spicy.
Due to the depth of flavors that can be found in the infused honey mustard, the condiment is perfect for enhancing a range of barbecue favorites. The savory honey mustard product can be combined with everything from hamburgers and hot dogs to pretzels for an elevated take on classic summertime snacks and meals.
