So, this is a thing that's happening. USB made a fruit beer and slapped the K&B logo on it. Not sure how the two are connected, but I guess anything for a buck.

Does nostalgia branding work if the new thing has nothing to do with the thing you're nostalgic for?

A pretty good chance a large portion of the NOLA hipster brigade will be triggered by this.

There are so many uses of people and brands on beer labels I don't even give it a second thought anymore.

It looks awesome. I want it just for the look. I think the actual beer kind of sounds gross.

FYI, Urban South does not get permission, to my knowledge, to use trademarked stuff in a lot of their beers, like their Cinnamon Toast Crunch one or the Frutti Pebbles one. They are limited editions so they just count on them being gone and never getting sued.

I'm sure they didn't get permission for this either.

Still, awesome looking can.

What if it comes out K&B purple because of the pomegranate? Would that make sense?

What color is the beer? Does the pomegranate make it K&B purple?

So if you made a K&B purple beer you wouldn’t make the connection?

no. k&b had a beer, you know. they made an actual k&b beer. and it wasn't a fruit beer. it's a brand rip off.

Am I the only one that thinks Urban South is going overboard on new releases? Many of them are $20 a 4-pack as well.

I don't even order from them anymore because it's too much volume and price.

Any of the new beers good?

Everyone is $17-24 depending on what it is. $20 is fairly decent for that type of release.
