I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Australia the term "beer nuts" refer to peanuts served with the brown peanut 'husks' still on them, generally salted. I don't know the technical terms, but by 'husks' I mean the thin brown fibrousy cover around each individual peanut (not the big seedpods which I don't think you can eat with usually 2-3 nuts in them). I'd never heard of the brand "BEER NUTS" until seeing this article. In Australia you can often buy beer nuts over the counter at a pub, they might even be served free, or you can buy them at grocery stores. Common brands for beer nuts in Australia include "Nobby's" and generic brands. These beer nuts are not glazed with a sugary coating and are typically just peanuts + salt + some vegetable oil. Perhaps this article should be changed to accommodate the above? RevJohn 13:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can verify this. I can remember dads getting beer nuts as Christmas presents since I was a kid. Recently I was regularly buying a generic brand from one of the Australian supermarket chains. Now I am in Mexico and they have the same thing but call them "cacahuates estilo español", which means "Spanish style peanuts". Like the Australian ones they have just the husk but lack the sweetener or flavouring of the American trademarked items. The most commen brand here seems to be "Golden Nuts". — Hippietrail 00:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those are called Spanish peanuts in America, too. Note the Simpsons episode where Burns has Smithers give him one. There's also a red-dyed candy by the same name due to its resemblance.

I agree with RevJohn. This article has a distinctly American flavour. 203.9.151.254 (talk) 00:07, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have to love the US bias on wikipedia!! I find it strange that RevJohn raised the point of non-US beer nuts in 2006 and nothing has changed. Before some editor says maybe I should make the additions - not interested in wasting my life in an edit war when other page editors dislike my edits 139.218.177.138 (talk) 10:18, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Eldredge Brewster II

Being the grandson of Eldredge Brewster, I remember spending time in my grandfather's office in downtown Bloomington - home of Brewster Distributing. My earliest memory of these visits was the early 70's, twenty years after he renamed the famous nuts, BEER NUTS, and very shortly after the company moved into the new office building. It was a real "treat" to visit my grandfather as I was always welcome to snack on the varied offerings of BEER NUTS, sausage snacks, chips, etc. which were displayed in his office. My grandfather passed away during my teenage years. He was a great man and mentor to many.

Fair use rationale for Image:Beernuts logo.gif

Image:Beernuts logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:12, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cornmeal

Isn't there a product either called beer nuts or under the beer nuts brand that's basically 'nuts' made of fried cornmeal? I remember thinking "huh, there's no beer in them, and no nuts"
