Where many peanut butter beers lean on stout or porter conventions, this one uses a black ale frame that delivers more pronounced roast and less residual sweetness — a structural difference that keeps the flavors balanced at a full 8% ABV. The brewery's small-batch approach in a converted bottling plant in rural Wisconsin adds genuine scarcity. For drinkers who find most peanut butter beers too sweet or one-dimensional, Peanut Butter Rodent presents a more layered, drier alternative that holds up across an entire pour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliphant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45075799965865,"sku":"40337","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/OliphantPeanutButterRodent4Pk.webp?v=1736298710"},{"product_id":"oliphant-variety-ipa-12pk","title":"Oliphant Variety IPA 12Pk","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOliphant Variety IPA 12Pk\u003c\/strong\u003e is a mixed 12-pack of craft IPAs from brewer-owned Oliphant Brewing in Somerset, Wisconsin.
