Exploring the wonderfully ridiculous world of alternate history through retro cans, jingles, and vintage beer commercials with Herb Light.
This is the most fun we’ve had in Wrigleyville in quite a while.
Herb Light, a new Chicago brand that’s somehow “back for the first time,” is built around good times and the simple pleasure of having a cold one in your hand that you don’t have to think too hard about. So naturally, we ended up at Sluggers World Class Sports Bar for a match of pong.
As parents marched their kids upstairs to the batting cages, downstairs we were engaged in a round-robin beer pong tournament with a pair of Chicago Bears home-opener tickets on the line. Wrigleyville, baby.
Herb Light is a 1mg THC / 1mg CBD cannabis drink that pays homage to the American light lager—and it quite literally tastes and drinks like one. Cold, crisp, uncomplicated and ridiculously easy to put away. There’s no tropical fruit explosion or reminder with every sip that you’re drinking a cannabis beverage. It drinks like the kind of macro lager that has accompanied bowling leagues, backyard cookouts, softball games and beer pong tables forever.
A Cold One, Ten Cups and Bears Tickets: Herb Light at Sluggers
It’s an activity beer for people who enjoy having a drink in their hand.
And that’s really the joy of Herb Light. It reminds you of a simpler drinking experience. Crack one open. Play the game. Talk shit. Have another. Keep the afternoon moving.
For those who don’t want the hangover, don’t want to feel like they’re sipping some elaborate cannabis concoction, and definitely don’t want to be higher than balls after one can, Herb Light occupies a pretty fascinating little lane.
You can just…drink.
And sometimes that’s exactly what you want from a cold one.
Next time you’re out, grab an Herb Light.
