Salted Nut Roll Ale from Tin Whiskers Brewing: We love a good local collaboration, and it doesn’t get any more St. Paul than Pearson’s Candy, which has been making delicious candy bars in the Twin Cities for 100 years.

Tin Whiskers, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, had previously made a Nut Goodie Porter that was wildly popular, so they decided to take a crack at what’s arguably the best bar in the Pearson’s lineup, the salty-sweet Salted Nut Roll.

They used a cream ale as the base, then added white chocolate for the sweetness and peanut butter for the, well, peanuttiness. The result is a beer that’s reminiscent of the candy bar, but not so sweet and rich that you can’t finish it.

Pro tip: Let it warm up a bit from normal serving temperature so the nutty aroma and flavor can really come through.

The beer hits the taproom Friday and will be available in cans in retail outlets the last week of April or first week of May. If you’re interested in trying it, it’s probably wise to do it as soon as the beer comes out.

“We made significantly more than the Nut Goodie Porter, but we expect this, like that one, to be a ‘get it while you can’ kind of thing,” said Andy Bobst, operations and marketing manager at the brewery.
