Hard seltzers continue to be all the rage, and why shouldn't they? There are no laws when you're drinking (White) Claws, after all. However, one company has arguably taken the bubbly anarchy too far by introducing a wiener-flavoured seltzer made with actual hot dog water.
There's already a lot to unpack here, but we would be remiss to mention the true breadth of this beverage innovation's cultural impact: namely, that it fulfills the prophecy of Limp Bizkit's third studio album, 2000's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water.
Ironically, one of the band's shows was recently cancelled in light of "possible chaos," but it doesn't get more chaotic than hot dog-flavoured alcoholic sparkling water.
Even if Fred Durst foresaw it at the turn of the millennium, nobody asked for this, but Fort Worth, TX-based Martin House Brewing Company made it anyway. According to the Dallas Morning News, the 5.2 ABV seltzer was made authentically with water that was actually used to boil nothing less than 52 pounds of hot dogs.
Aptly named the Bun Length, the brand's marketing manager described the concoction as a "boozy hot dog" — so the taste of summertime, essentially. Martin House has launched it alongside a BBQ sauce beer, which joins their foodie-appealing lineup that also includes a pizza-flavoured brew and a new limited-edition white chocolate pretzel stout.
But don't get it twisted: this one has a special place in the brewing company's heart. They plan to launch Bun Length both on-draft and in cans for $4 USD on July 16 at their Glizzy Fest, which is literally a celebration of hot dogs. The event also promises a hot-dog-eating contest, wiener dogs, craft vendors, food trucks and a John Cougar Mellencamp cover band, because we suppose the Limp Bizkit cover bands were all booked.
Sure, it sounds like a sausage fest, but where else could you live out the first line of the second verse of "Jack and Diane" while sipping on the urinary tract infection-scented fruits of the Limp Bizkit prophecy? It's obviously a level-up from the non-alcoholic goop summit libations (and a relative steal!)
If Snoop Dogg succeeds in trademarking his foray into frankfurter franchising, then the world really has gone to the dog(g)s — especially if Michael Bublé takes inspiration from his beef with Paul McCartney into the next Bubly pitch meeting.
