Beer nuts are the first flavored snack nut. They're simple to eat and their taste goes beyond salt, combining the slight bitterness of peanuts-in-the-skin with a sweet-salty glaze. "Slightly Sweet, Lightly Salted" is a Beer Nuts slogan, as true today as it was 60 years ago. The nuts' original name was "Redskins", since they were -- and are -- roasted and glazed with the skins on.
