Anyone who grew up in the 80s and watched cartoon (fuck that that always seemed to be on TV more often) likely also enjoyed drinking Hi-C Ecto-Cooler. And why wouldn’t we enjoy it? It was 90% sugar and Slimer approved!
Well now a Pennsylvania brewery is taking my two favorite things and combining them: Nostalgia and Beer!
That’s right, The Tired Hands Brewing Company in Ardmore, Pennsylvania has announced a limited edition batch of beer inspired by Ecto-Cooler called NectoCooler. They apparently used grilled nectarines to add the citrus flavor to a sour wheat beer. That actually sounds pretty good, I’ll take 15 cases! What’s that? The beer is only available for purchase at the brewery? Well that sucks. Tell you what, I was planning on a road trip anyway, I would love to see Pennsylvania in the fall. Come again? The beer sold out in a matter of days? So there is none left? So this whole post was pointless? Well, I guess I’ll go fuck myself. While I do so, please enjoy this classic Ecto-Cooler commercial.
