Beer Nuts was carved at England's Wimberley Mills by Monique Baldwin. It is the second piece to chronicle the Canadian adventures of Mad Murphy and his buddy Moose. It includes such Canadian icons as the Maple Leaf on the Moose's blanket, the Mounties hat on his head, and two beavers – Canada's national animal. Mad Murphy is inside, but is he hiding from the RCMP, or has he just had a few too many Canadian beers?

The Beer Nuts Prototype has two main differences from the version that was issued:
- Inside the box the prototype is inscribed Doug + Bob McKenzie – the version that was issued is inscribed DB McKenzie.
- The prototype does not have the reference to Sir John EH that appears on the base of the version that was issued.
The base is marked CANADIAN EXCLUSIVE # 002.
