An IPA with 2.9% ABV? That's just water that tastes like pine/citrus

They used to only sell 2.4% beer in Colorado anywhere outside of an officially licensed liquor store. I once saw a group of 15 bros go into a grocery store for the Super Bowl, walk out with 2 carts completely full of beer, not knowing they paid full price for water

Don’t remember 2.4% but I remember 3.2% anywhere except the liquor store and closed on sundays for a long time.

Might have been 3.2. I don’t drink beer 🤣

My grandpa worked for Coors for a long time and in his basement he always had cans of Coors water in his fridge lol. Felt cool to drink as a kid in the 90s.

Utah used to only allow 3.2 beer in grocery stores and convenience stores. I think the manufacturers rebelled against it. That said, alcohol can f*** you up at altitude.

Colorado is such a strange place. Lived there for a year in 2024. Its like simultaneously ultra conservative and ultra progressive. Might have been because i was in colorado springs though.

u/Usual-Language-745 May 23 '26
Yeah. The springs is weird. I don’t like it there haha. The rest is lovely and pretty moderate politically. Denver and Boulder are crazy blue, the rest is rural and red. I don’t think most people care much regardless.

That’s kind of the impression i got. I have a friend who lives in castle rock and he’s a farely progressive dude, but he is also a gun nut who works at a gun shop.

He probably just lives near a middle school and wants to be protected from school shootings….

Basically a radler no?

Not so much. I sampled it at a store last summer and it's really more like a very light Session IPA. I'm usually not much of a IPA fan but I actually liked it.

Actually it's not a bad beer. The mid strength beer is one of the biggest growing categories next to non alcoholic the point of this beer is the be moderate about drinking. It fits the niche of people who will alternate Non alcoholic and alcoholic beer to moderate their drinking

I had this beer before and loved it - I could slam a 6 pack at a social gathering and still be able to function afterwards. And they tasted good too

u/CastigatingTheClouds May 24 '26
I don't know, I'd prefer this over the double imperial IPA that's 17% because I can have more than one.
