Anyone used it as an ingredient in beer?

I know of only one Belgian beer which claims to have tobacco in it: a "cigar stout" by Beryllium Erbium. Was a bit meh and decidedly un-cigar-ish, but I get the idea of how tobacco aroma could work in a stout.

No, but now I'm craving an imperial stout and a berry wildwood

I wish I had your talent for making up cigar names.

I think, I'm gonna barf.

Not a beer, but I did make a coffee and tobacco creme brulee once.  You can get lots of the aromatics out of tobacco by extracting with vodka.
Pipe tobacco might taste better than cigar.

We can brew an American light lager and steep some tobacco at flame out for 20 minutes or so....

....and call it Camel Lite 

Yeah...pretty lame...but I couldn't resist

Isn't tobacco poisonous?

[Pinski]

Isn't tobacco poisonous?

Yes but the caveat, like most substances, it all about dosage.

Sorry, I think tobacco in beer, and my next thought is the smell of stale chewing tobacco spit.

I think pairing a stout and tobacco would be accomplished by way of a cigar while drinking the stout.

I have to agree, Steve. To each his own though.

Oh totally, and I get it... I get and enjoy notes of Spanish cedar and Pipe tobacco in big, typically wood aged beers.  In that sense, I appreciate "tobacco" in my beer. 

The notion of actually placing any tobacco in my beer though... makes me wanna barf.

Exactly.

Couldn't you just put a dip in, and stop spitting while you drink a beer?  Delicious! Name it "RedMan Yum Yums"

Feeling any better pinski?

I was always a Copenhagen guy, but yeah... that's how I know what I'm talking about.

I recall working on cleaning up a pesticide-contaminated SuperFund site in Tifton, GA a couple of decades ago. There was a tobacco warehouse next door where the local growers would bring in their pallets of dried leaf for the brokers to come and purchase. What a wonderful, rich aroma emanated from that warehouse! All I could think was: how does something that smells so good, stink so bad when smoked? (I'm not a smoker).

I think that some tobacco notes might be nice in a beer.
