Terrapin Brewery of Athens, Georgia and Cigar City Brewing of Tampa have teamed up to put pecan pie in a glass. The beer will be called Southern Slice, and aside from satisfying those with a sweet tooth, the beer also helps clarify any confusion about the pronunciation of the nuts used inside the beer.
The beer label is approved for 750 mL bottles, being filled and released by Cigar City.
The beer begins with a dark lager base and then combines specialty grains, pecans, and vanilla beans to make a beer that could “conquer any sweet tooth.”
According to CCB’s head brewer, Wayne Wambles and a warning on the bottle, the nuts added to the beer are pronounced “puh-con,” not “pee-can.” Cigar City
Our suggestion is to say "PEE-can" to Wayne if you ever see him. He just LOVES that. @TerrapinBeerCo @BeerSTJournal — Cigar City Brewing (@CigarCityBeer) October 24, 2013 “>tweeted previously
