Using the search function here doesn't reveal much. What I just discovered tonight at the liquor store, however, is that a 12-pack is only $10.33, the cheapest 12-pack I've found so far. Natural Ice seems to be well known for it's high ABV, 5.9%.
So, what is the "reputation" of Natural Ice? Is this a bum beer? Is it a college frat beer? The CVS Pharmacy has it in 30-packs, that sounds like it's a frat beer. But the liquor store sells it in single cans, that sounds like a bum beer.
At any rate, I can taste the higher ABV in this thing. I won't need as much whiskey as I do with Miller or Bud. I assume I'm in for a pretty bad hangover tomorrow morning.
(BTW, that 30-pack at CVS Pharmacy was only $16. I didn't think I could carry the damb thing home, though, so I didn't buy it.)
I don't like the can design. Black, electric blue, and silver. And that screaming bird coming out of the A. And the boast of 5.9% right there on under the brand name on the can. I've been staring at the can as I type this message trying to decide if they are making an appeal to bums or to frat houses. I just don't know.
But it is my new regular beer, assuming the liquor store keeps it in stock. I got the last 12-pack tonight. High ABV and easy on a laborer's paycheck. I like it.

Re: Natural Ice
AHA! There is no Facebook page dedicated to Natural Ice, but there is for Natural Light. And it has memes all over about paying off college debt. So that appears to be who they are appealing to. Well fuck them! I have just as much right to cheap beer as do college kids.

Re: Natural Ice
It's designed for homeless bound college kids. For those bright young things studying the fine panhandling arts. Carrying 30 packs home is not fun, I've done it before. It's a fifteen minute walk home from the beer store and they get heavy real fast. But 30 packs are the cheapest beer option. And the Natty Ice hangover will be rough. My drinking life has improved in ways I can't describe since I stopped drinking it.Hugh wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 12:57 amSo, what is the "reputation" of Natural Ice? Is this a bum beer?

Re: Natural Ice
Natty Light was the first beer I got drunk off of, in college (late bloomer).

Re: Natural Ice
i remember nearly 20 years ago back when i was a young teen drinker you could get Bud Ice in the UK..it was the only ice beer i remember.. and even that was perhaps only due to the cool shaped bottles...they were made up to look like they were made of ice.
it obviously never took off. I think overall UK beer drinking culture they prefer a weaker beer...4-5%... British drinking culture is all about the long haul..going to the pub and drinking all day long from morning till the next morning...obviously for us seasoned hands this isn't necessarily an issue but for the everyday man/woman it may be...I think this is why they like the 4-5% as they wanna keep drinking it all day and not even look like they're effected.
obviously I play for a different team...id love ice beer to be a thing here.
why i drink more euro lager than British beer to be honest.
