Texas-based Shiner Beer has released a limited edition Candied Pecan Ale, just in time for bonfire-worthy winter weather.

The brew, which is on grocery and liquor store shelves now, weighs in at 6% ABV and is made with roasted pecans from Millican Pecan Company in San Saba, Texas — known as the pecan capital of the world.

According to tasting notes, the new brew features roasted nut flavor with sweet notes of caramel, vanilla and brown sugar. The brewery says Shiner Candied Pecan Ale nicely complements warming comfort foods such as steamy hot pretzels, beer cheese and cured meats.

The sweet and nutty sipper won’t be on shelves long — it’s headed back into hibernation at the end of February. It’s available in six packs of 12 ounce bottles.
