How many summers has White Claw dominated now?  Has it only been the one?  Maybe two?  Either way, booze experts are calling it.  This summer, The Claw's streak? 

Over.

Why?  Anheuser-Busch is comin' out swingin' with their new Hard Peach Green Tea and Hard Passion Fruit Green Tea, available now, by the way.

Mmm...looks refreshing and summer-y.

Seems booze makers are on a health kick, abandoning their high-calorie beers in favor of lower-sugar, ready-to-drink cocktails infused with “healthy” ingredients.  

A-B's new line is called LQD Creative Liquids, and they have other drinks brewing on their website, including Hard Agave Limeade, and this summer, Hard Hibiscus Lemonade. 

You know what?  Can't really see myself telling the hot Tiki Bar bartender to set me up with a Hard Hibuscus Lemonade.

White Claw it is.
