143 - Mike's Hard Lemonade

This week we tackle a topic we've considered for sometime: MIKE'S HARD LEMONADE. We discuss this drink's origins and our own memories of the branding around this drink (along with our experiences). We then move to sampling the drinks from the mixed variety pack: Lemon, Lime, Black Cherry, and Cranberry. Along the way we chatted: "alcohol guy"; nostalgic branding; Tuscan Lemonade; banned-in-Canada dyes; Chuck Berry; Yoko Ono; Beatles' 1; A Day in the Life; brand names used as product names; and the recent solar eclipse. We'll be back next with a craft lineup of some kind.
