I recently started drinking hard seltzers, first out of utility, now I actually enjoy them. But after trying out a low-carb diet, hard seltzers came up as a “keto-friendly” alcoholic beverage. I actually had no idea what White Claw even was and didn’t even discover it was a hard seltzer until cycling through multiple Read more

I’ve never heard of Tiktok so I must now google it. My only social media presence is on Linkedin, Nextdoor, and a Livejournal account that was abandoned 15 years ago. I think this means I’m out of touch? Read more

Saade also used oats and highly kilnedmeaning highly toasted—Vienna malts in the recipe for LoCa to add both body and flavor. This will be the first South Floridabrewed low-calorie craft beer, Read more

I am guilty of assuming low-calorie beer is just as sad as low-fat dairy. There's obviously a market for this kind of thing but I can't shake the "just have less of the real thing" mentality. Read more

I don’t really understand the argument. Pabst actually sells a case of beer. Austin only sells a box? You have to buy the box and beer separately? Why would they do that? And if Austin’s is a DIY, then Pabst actually letting you buy the beer in the box without fuss seems to be a different concept all together. Read more
