In this episode, Mason and Adam crack open the world of hard seltzers—from the grocery aisle classics to the bar-ready craft versions. They break down the difference between malt-based seltzers (the kind that built the craze with mass appeal, light profiles, and beer-adjacent production) versus spirit-based seltzers made with vodka or tequila (bringing cleaner flavor, higher-quality ingredients, and cocktail-like versatility).

The guys discuss how each category fits into the wider drinking culture, where malt still dominates shelves, and how spirit-based seltzers are carving out space as premium, occasion-driven choices.

Question of the Day: Malt or Spirit based seltzers?
