For just about as far back as anyone can remember, beer and pretzels have been the best combination since peanut butter and jelly. There are few experiences more satisfying than enjoying a few cold ones at your neighborhood tavern accompanied by a big bowl of these tasty snacks. This is why Boardwalk Food Co. decided to combine the best of each for an experience unlike any other. Our premium craft-beer-inspired pretzels are a perfect addition for any night out, and they’re perfect for a very special event that occurs during the month of February…
As most people will tell you, the month of February is commonly associated with love and romance because of Valentine’s Day. But there’s another tradition to observe during the shortest month of the year that might not be as well-known but should be looked forward to with just as much love and enthusiasm. February is recognized as National Snack Food Month, and there’s no better time to indulge in the offerings from Boardwalk Co.
Like so much else that we’re guilty of taking for granted from time to time, snack foods have a unique history that’s just as fascinating as they are tasty. While the exact originator of the concept of snacking has been lost to the annals of history, archaeologists have found evidence that the origins of snacking stretch back all the way to 50,000 BC. Cave dwellers in Northern Iraq carried with their collections of various seeds and nuts to provide them with sustenance during their day.
Just as interesting as the history of snacking, the pretzel has been an integral part of this between-meal-ritual for not only decades but hundreds of years. It all began in the monasteries of Europe during the middle ages. Monks would bake strips of dough in the shape of a cross to reward their students for being attentive and diligent. This tradition has continued into the modern age, as in 2010, a survey concluded that children and teenagers are snacking more these days than in previous years. So, why not indulge in some choice offerings from Boardwalk Food Co. for the month of February?
For years, snacking and craft beers have always gone together perfectly, so now you can enjoy the best of both worlds! For the flavors that will soon become your favorite and much more, pay us a visit at boardwalkfoodco.com.
