A Note on This Beer
Imagine pecan pie as a beer! This is exactly what Washington’s Backwoods Brewing did, creating a smooth vanilla-soaked sipper for their annual Christmas bash two years ago. To their surprise, the beer was a massive hit among locals. Word got out and bars in neighboring cities came calling for kegs. The Backwoods Pecan Pie Porter was born.
This year, they’re putting Pecan Pie into the bottle for the very first time and we have a super fresh stash! Invite this fun seasonal favorite into your home and satisfy your entire family’s dessert cravings*.
Aromas of caramelized pecans rise from a deep brown pour. Silky smooth like maple syrup with hints of semi-sweet cacao nibs, even more rich flavors come through as it warms. Almond toffee skips across your palate, making way for tongue-coating vanilla bean complexity, and a sprinkling of toasted pecans dusted in dark brown sugar. A clean mouthfeel rounds out this flavor celebration and a semi-dry finish keeps you sipping through the night.
Short of crashing Backwoods’ next holiday shindig, Pecan Pie Porter is a tough beer to track down outside the Northwest. Don’t miss your chance to stuff your face with pie without any dessert buffet remorse.
