Taste a handful of Beer Nuts Brand Snacks and you too will appreciate what makes our unique sweet and salty taste the passion of serious snack lovers everywhere. The most passionate of them all was Russell Shirk, the founder of the Beer Nuts family. He spent his days selling the nuts by the scoop at the family owned 'Caramel Crisp Shop', and his nights packaging them for local liquor stores in our hometown of Bloomington, Illinois. Because they were the perfect complement to a beer, Beer Nuts acquired its name in 1953, and quickly became the undisputed snack of choice in bars and taverns throughout America. Today, Beer Nuts Brand Snacks includes a wide range of nuts and snack mix varieties; something for every nut lover for every nutty occasion. Yet, our original recipe remains exactly the same, as does our commitment for producing only the best quality snack products possible. Russell wouldn't have it any other way. So have a good time while you enjoy another handful of some great nuts. We welcome you to our Beer Nuts family. - The Shirk Family. Good times. Great nuts. beernuts.com. Product of the USA.
