Description
Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale is the first beer in the world, to our knowledge,
made with whole roasted pecans.  The pecans are used just like grain and provide
a nutty characteristic and a delightful depth to the flavor profile. This beer is very
lightly hopped to allow the malty, caramel, and nutty flavors shine through.  The
color is dark mahogany.  Southern Pecan won a Bronze Medal in the 2006
World Beer Cup in the Specialty Beer category.
 
Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale
The Story behind Southern Pecan
     Mark is the crazy, creative force behind Lazy Magnolia.  He comes up
with ideas that often seem to have no chance of succeeding.  One of those
ideas was to make a beer with pecans. Many attempts at nut-beers have
resulted in failure due to the high oil content.  Mark was determined, so Leslie
designed the recipe to work around the problem of nut oil.  Even so, she had
very little faith in the creation until they poured the first perfect pint.  Southern
Pecan has been a big hit ever since.
