Some light, some dark, and one that tastes like you&#8217;re drinking Reese&#8217;s peanut butter cups. You also should visit each and every one of these breweries, if you can. That&#8217;s where the magic happens, and they often have experimental brews on tap for people to try. Brewery tours make good gifts for people, just saying.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/belchingbeaver.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Belching Beaver<\/a> Peanut Butter Milk Stout <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5.3%<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">America\u2019s Favorite Peanut Butter Milk Stout: this silky-smooth beer put us on the map.
