Hard seltzer is all the rage these days

Tweet

First there was "hard" iced tea and "hard" lemonade--meaning they contained alcohol. Now they've come up with hard seltzer in different fruity flavors. I first had it at my sister's house last year and discovered that I really liked it. It wasn't as filling as beer and wasn't as sweet as Twisted Tea or Mike's Hard Lemonade. Its popularity has exploded over the past year. White Claw seems to be the most popular but I prefer the brand Truly. I stopped in the liquor store today to pick some of the Truly citrus mix up but they were totally sold out. There was a whole cooler devoted to White Claw along with a tower of warm 12-packs of it. There were other brands too but nothing that I've tried before. The brands that I've tried are 100 calories per can and contain 2 grams of carbohydrates. No alcohol is "good" for you but the hard seltzer seems to be geared for people who are active and trying to limit their carb intake. Have you tried hard seltzer before?
