The recipes I've seen for homebrew hard seltzer use water, corn sugar and some kind of flavoring. No mashing, no hops, no boiling. So shouldn't commercial hard seltzer be way cheaper than beer? I used to be able to get a 30 pack of Hamm's light for $16.50 including tax, but they discontinued it along with a bunch of other budget beers. Are the industrial brewers just trying to make us believe that all beer should be $8-12 a six pack and that way keep the price of hard seltzer, hard lemonade, and hard ice tea elevated? I recently heard that Boston Brewing Co, which makes Sam Adams and Dogfish Head beer only gets 10% of their profits from beer, and 90% from their hard seltzer and similar products. BTW, they'll be coming out with Hard Mt Dew, and I expect there will be hard versions of all the major soda brands before long.
How about an "ice" or high ABV vesion of Jolt Cola? Twice the sugar, twice the caffeine and way more alcohol than you need.....
