while selection work has been done since the late 1800s, most acreage of pecans grown today is of older cultivars, such as 'stuart', 'schley', 'elliott', and 'desirable', with known flaws but also with known production potential. cultivars, such as 'elliot', are increasing in popularity due to resistance to "pecan scab". the long cycle time for pecan trees plus financial considerations dictate that new varieties go through an extensive vetting process before being widely planted. numerous varieties produce well in texas, but fail in the southeastern u.s. due to increased disease pressure. selection programs are ongoing at the state level, with alabama, arkansas, florida, georgia, kansas, missouri, new mexico, and others having trial plantings.

lazy magnolia's "southern pecan nut brown ale" beer is the first beer in the world commercially made with whole roasted pecans. the company only uses locally produced pecans. the pecans are used just like grain and provide a nutty characteristic. the company thought this union of pecans and beer would not be possible because of oil released by the pecans during brewing; however, they soon found out that the yeast used in the brewing process broke down the oil thereby actually enhancing the product.









































"indian summer spiced wheat ale" is an american-style wheat ale spiced with orange peel and coriander.
