Beer and Nuts contains a salted mixed nut blend, burnt caramel and Pelican Tsunami Stout.

In the fall of 2011, the day before signing the lease and opening Cloud City, owner Bryan Gilbert’s mother died of cancer. The business celebrates her spirit as Bryan regularly attempts to recreate her beloved desserts, such as Bananas Foster (Caramelized Banana) and cheesecake (Roasted Cherry Mascarpone), among many other imaginative concoctions. The shop remains a tribute to her, and the ice cream he creates would make any mother proud. Totes Ma’Goats is chèvre based with swirls of house-made lemon curd.
