Life is a learning experience. At Binghamton on Tap I learned something new.

I kept seeing people walk around with necklaces of pretzels at the event and I wondered why. So, I got schooled!

Not only are they a fashion statement, but they also are for when you get hungry at a tasting event. for the big time beer tasting person, they cleanse your palate between samplings.

There are countless Pinterest pages devoted to pictures of pretzel necklaces. Some get crazy ornate and fancy. I suppose if you are going to wear one, you might as well make a statement.

Will this become a bigger fad? We shall see.

Now you know!
