This Livin' Salty Beer Collab is the Perfect Thirst Quencher for Anglers

The ideal addition to fireside fish tales or the perfect partner for fishing solo from shore, nothing quenches the thirst of an ardent angler better than the sweet nectar goodness of a frosty cold beer. So, imagine my surprise and excitement upon hearing that the SweetWater Brewing Company and Salt Life have teamed up to bring us Livin' Salty Salt & Lime Lager.

With upcoming plans for a two-day retreat including a lazy afternoon of casting off the dock, a frosty beer straight out of the cooler was just what the doctor ordered. I already pictured myself up at the cottage "testing" a couple new Livin' Salty Lagers.

When it comes to eye-catching color and pizzazz that pops, the Livin' Salty can definitely gets two thumbs up. With a pair of jumping marlin and lime waves and palm tree islands, this aluminum container is not only unique, but fun and creative.

Livin' Salty is a crisp and light 5% ABV brew that's made for those that love to fish (or simply like to spend their spare time daydreaming about it).

“An easy-drinking, refreshing brew is what beer enthusiasts are reaching for right now, and the real limes and salt featured in Livin’ Salty make it the ultimate brew for the summer,” said Evan Woolard, Senior Brand Manager for SweetWater Brewing.

The beer itself features Hallertau Mittlefruh and Crystal hops, as well as real limes and salt, to create a brew that's both bright and crisp and wonderfully refreshing. Listed as a Pilsner Malt and with an IBU rating of 20, its smooth and easy drinking - a perfect complement to those days spent by the water.

My Taste Test and Verdict

With delicious hints of salt and lime, but not in the least bit overpowering, this lager is definitely crisp and refreshing. I'd describe it as having an easy-going drinkability—a beer that would appeal to most drinkers.

With the sun high and the temperature even higher (and the bass seemingly on strike) these Livin' Salty's quenched my thirst to a T. Being a big fan of lagers, this beer fit the bill in terms of taste, smoothness, and overall satisfaction.

The cool looking can was simply a sweet bonus.

Livin’ Salty is available in 6-packs, 15-packs and on tap at the SweetWater Brewing Company Taproom in Atlanta, Salt Life Food Shacks and nationwide.
