Beer Nuts is a brand of Snack Food s building on the original product, Peanut s with a "unique" sweet-and-salty Glazing Made to a "secret Recipe ". HISTORY The official company history starts in 1937 when Edward Shirk and his son Arlo took over the ''Caramel Crisp'' Confectionery store in Bloomington, Illinois , USA , which amongst others sold a product called ''Redskins'', glazed peanuts with their red skins intact. In the early 1950s this product was sold packaged as ''Shirk's Glazed Peanuts'' in local National Liquor Stores. Due to the business acumen of a local food distributor named Eldredge Brewster the product was then gradually expanded to a national brand and the Beer Nuts trademark was registered. The trademark is officially spelled with all capital letters: BEER NUTS. The company is still family owned, their only production site is still based in Bloomington. TRIVIA
