"What the F@#% is a Redd's Apple Ale?!"

This was a tweet from a woman who did not understand the commercials of Redd's Apple Ale.
I replied to her simply, but only because Twitter does not allow more than 150 characters. Many people are perplexed as to what the product is and why it's creating such a buzz right now. Let me explain.


Redd's Apple Ale is a new product from the Redd's Brewing Company, from Georgia. The company is  associated with the Miller Lite brand. Some people are upset that Miller is "hiding behind a faux label." Though people may not like the branding, one thing is certain. This product is amazing. The delicious and smooth taste as it flows into your mouth is unparalleled.


Being a promoter of the MillerCoors company, I have been promoting this product for the last few weeks, creating buzz in the area bars and everyone loves the taste, including myself. Here are the facts:

Apple Ale - Not like a cider (Woodchuck, Angry Orchard,etc). This product has more carbonation because, essentially it's beer with apple flavoring. It honestly tastes like champagne mixed with apple juice. It has a caramel tint to it and with its clear bottle packaging, you are able to see the rich color that the product presents.

A Different Kind of Sweet - Though this is a sweet beer, this isn't one of those drinks that is packed full of sugar. Many of those drinks, though amazing at first, will eventually leave you sick, rolling and clenching your stomach from gut rot. The sweet that you taste in Redd's Apple Ale is from the apple sugars.

5% Alcohol Content - This higher alcohol content (average domestics are around 4.2%) is very popular among drinkers. You get more bang for your buck.


I love this stuff. It is too good. Many people are turned off by the price tag. When sampling, six packs hover around the $9.00 price. However, this Ale still attracts many people to pay the extra few dollars for a great tasting beer. Also remember that it has a higher alcohol content so don't expect to get this for the same price as your domestic light beers. Definitely pick up a six pack.
