North Park: The Holy Land for Breweries
North Park is one of San Diego’s most renowned craft beer hubs, with numerous breweries and beer bars clustered along 30th Street. It’s a paradise where you can brewery-hop on foot. Belching Beaver Brewery has established itself as one of North Park’s flagship breweries.
Belching Beaver was founded in 2012 and grabbed attention from the start with humorous beer names and creative branding. Today they operate multiple locations throughout San Diego, making them a go-to destination for both locals and tourists.

Nitro (nitrogen gas) pours produce much finer bubbles than CO2, resulting in an extremely smooth and creamy mouthfeel. This makes nitro the perfect match for sweet styles like milk stout! It’s the same technology made famous by Guinness, now widely used across craft beer.
Beer I Had: Peanut Butter Milk Stout (Nitro)
When you think Belching Beaver, you think of this! I ordered the Peanut Butter Milk Stout on nitro (nitrogen gas pour). I’d had this beer before at TeKu Tavern + Cafe in Seattle, but drinking it fresh at the actual brewery was on another level entirely.
Peanut Butter Milk Stout (Nitro) Flavor Profile
| Style | Milk Stout / Sweet Stout (BJCP 15B) – Nitro Pour |
| ABV | Approx. 5.1% (check the official site for the latest info) |
| Appearance | Near-black dark brown with a creamy head |
| Aroma | Peanut butter, chocolate, roasted malt |
| Taste | Sweet and creamy. Peanut butter flavor takes center stage with an incredibly smooth mouthfeel |
The luscious sweetness combined with nitro’s signature smooth mouthfeel creates a heavenly pairing! It’s so comforting you could drink glass after glass. The dessert beer execution is superb, appealing to both newcomers and seasoned craft beer enthusiasts.

I’d tried this beer at TeKu Tavern + Cafe in Seattle, but having it at the actual brewery is something else entirely. Watching the nitro cascade slowly settling in the glass was beautiful — I was excited before even taking the first sip!

Just the sweet peanut butter aroma wafting over is irresistible! Such a creamy, delicious-looking beer — I’d love to take a sip too!
