Last summer might’ve been all about spiked seltzers, but after hearing about Pabst Blue Ribbon’s new hard peach tea we’re ready to declare it the summer sipper of 2020. Cheers!
Psst! Take a look at our collection of iced tea recipes, including the ultimate white peach iced tea. Does anything say summer more than a ripe peach?
Here’s What We Know:
There aren’t many details yet, but we caught wind of this new beverage’s existence on beer social media site Untappd. Even though it’s not widely available, more than 60 people have already tried and rated it. The site describes the hard beverage as a “bold black tea and natural peach flavor blended into a refreshing and satisfying brew.”
The hard peach tea comes in 12-ounce cans designed with festive orange-and-white stripes. It’s also 100 calories per serving and clocks in at 4 percent alcohol by volume, which makes this fruity drink a perfect daytime sipper.
Where Can I Find It?
We’re not sure when this new flavor will hit store shelves, but we’re hoping it’s soon! While the hard peach tea isn’t featured yet on the PBR site, it is listed in the beer brand’s product locator, so that’s a good place to start. Or, keep an eye on alcohol delivery site Drizly so you can order PBR hard peach tea directly to your door when it’s officially released.
In the meantime, you might want to try PBR’s hard coffee which is available right now for home delivery!
