We do get something similar here but they are not called 'beer nuts', instead being given the non-alcoholic and more attractive name 鱼皮花生 (yú pí huā shēng), 'fish-skin peanuts'. These contain no dermal material from limbless cold-blooded vertebrate animal with gills and fins living wholly in water, but are roasted peanut kernels with a coating made from glutinous rice and wheat flours, sugar, salt and various additives (tartrazine E102, Allura red AC (E129)and vanillin).
We also get 'milk peanuts' sensitively labelled as 'old lady peanut bag milk flavored nuts roasted beer partner' in a direct translation of the Chinese! These are not sweet but contain peanut kernels, salt, star anise, and cinnamon.
