Planter's Peanut beer

[golf_lover44]

Mike Condon thought the email was a joke.

Why would Planters, the nation’s seminal peanut brand, want to make a beer with Condon’s tiny west suburban brewery, Noon Whistle?

Why would Planters want to make a beer at all?

But sure enough, the email was real, and the unlikely result — Mr. IPA-Nut, an IPA featuring 800 pounds of peanuts and the iconic, monocled Mr. Peanut on the 16-ounce can — will be released Friday.

Mr. IPA-Nut will be available for about one month only in Illinois, at the Noon Whistle taproom and in four-packs ($9.99) at better beer stores.

Love IPA's. Love Peanuts. The two should never be mixed...ugh.

Is a peanut allergy warning printed near the standard Government Warning? Can the beer be consumed on an airplane?

Oh, and what the heck is Old Milwaukee Draft Peanut?
