Jim Beam Encouraging Bored Beer Fans To Take A Break From Beer

I bet Jim Beam only put out a peach version since the peach Crown Royal was such a huge success. I'm not sure this is the best way to market it but I kind of got a chuckle out of it.

 

Whiskey has gotten too rough for me. Even my beloved Black Bush has been too hard to take. I'm getting old. Bacardi Gold and a Cuba Libre' would be more my speed.

 

There is always room for a whiskey ginger... wonder if Beam will go as far as Suntory

 

Not tempted to go back. On the other hand it was practically always neat. And now it's too late for me. Things happen. Beer wins anyway

 

I'm all for drinking some whisk(e)y, but not Jim Beam lol

 

Give Blanton's and/or Baker's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel a try.

 

OMG, when I turned 21 my poison of choice was 10 High, a nasty rotgut bourbon made by Hiram Walker. Must have been as bad as the hooch they used to transport from Walker's across the river to Detroit during Prohibition.

 

I like what I like. Beer doesn’t bore me. Whiskey makes me fat because I chase it with soda. I’m trying to drink. Not pass out.

 

It's all good.

It is not exactly a bourbon but I am a fan of Woodford Reserve Rye Whiskey (with no mixers).

Cheers!

 

Made me laugh, heavy ipa aged in goats milk.

But then, Bourbon and ginger? Should of ordered it on the rocks, to get the full effect. But overall I like the bit.

 

It's Beam, you have to mix it! Ain't nothing wrong with a bottom shelf bourbon and ginger, but even if I'm ordering (or buying) bottom shelf, it's not Beam. Evan Williams, Old Grand Dad, etc...

Funny commercial though.

 

Bore me? Beer? Nah...ain't gonna happen.

But do I also partake of other fine beverages from time to time? Sure do, but I'm not so sure I'd count Mr. Beam among them.

 

Jim, when you can make an IPA as good as some of the stuff I drink regularly, have your people get with my people. Until then, best of luck. I love you.

If I had a hankerin' for a peach-flavored drink, I'd probably reach for the Southern Comfort. But if I did, I'd probably dump it into a brown ale with a few drops of pecan extract. Or something. But bored with beer? Never! We have 113 styles, with countless variations within those. There's always something new. And you can have your bourbon, too! What could possibly go wrong?

 

Bourbons tricky, price doesn’t always dictate quality. Really the differences in labeling could be as simple as a specific warehouse location, one known that temp and humidity changes things up a bit.

 

Say it ain't so, Joe -- say it ain't so!

I'm not a big spirits drinker by any definition, but Black Bush was a favorite go-to if I was feeling my roots.

But it sure didn't take the place of my love for beer.

 

A $40 bottle of Basil Hayden is hard to beat.

 

Prices are all over the place, WT 101 is a nice everyday sipper, under $25. If I want a bit better Russels small batch is as good as it gets $55.

From there right to debauchery and Islay whiskies. Let’s ruin our taste buds to everything else. What goes with an Islay? I don’t smoke so a cigars not it.

 

Can I just comment with a few emojis?

 

And on the other end of the spectrum, I'll take any one of these:

There are many similar articles out there and most of these names always appear, for a reason.

 

My Grandpop always had a bottle of Old Grand Dad on his bedroom dresser, always a shot before bed.

 

My brother as well, I haven’t had it often but it’s certainly top notch. The only bourbons I don’t care for are the heavily Oaked stuff, a bit too dry and woody.

 

Jim Beam Double Oak is/was my go to pool league dive bar bourbon. Regular Beam can kick rocks though.

 

I took a break from beer and alcohol for a while. When I decided to partake again I went with liquor because of the much lower calories/carbs and it was easier for me to portion; and my tolerance had gotten lower and I was in a good place, a drink or two and I was good. Fast forward to NYE where I drank just shy of a half a bottle of Jim Beam Devil's Cut without even realizing it. I had entire conversations with people, texted people (including an ex that reopened a door that should have remained closed), etc., and I don't remember any of it...the next day I thought people were messing with me and I would still think that if I didn't see all of the texts. First time in my life I got blackout drunk and that was some scary stuff. Everyone told me that I was surprisingly coherent and my texts were very clear and I was shocked going through them all the next day but damn that was bizarre...

So yeah may just want to stick to beer. And hey would there have been any other way to close out 2020?

 

I will hold out for Hazy Jim Beam with lactose sugar.

 

I forgot the question, but beer is the answer!

 

Goat noises get me every time.

 

Is this a yoga thing?

 

Heh...beer is anything but boring right now, to the point that I sometimes protest some things are being carried a little too far.

...and all they did what to innovate their category? Add peach? How positively 2012 of them!

 

If Jim Beam put goat’s milk on nitro, ... I’m all in.

 

As a good solid whiskey and bourbon fan especially, kind of disappointed to see JB go down this route.

Do enjoy much of their products particularly Knob Creek, some more than others...

Spent more time with it before getting into beer simply because it was easier on my wallet. Bourbon used to be the big secret deal, now those days are long over. Bottles of $80 George T, Stagg ... that's history...

Much to enjoy in the beer world, it's even easier now and filled with so much good stuff I can't even keep up.

 

Could it be that they are changing their products and marketing because people are tired of their products? Beer is my go to. Bourbon and G&Ts are my alternates when I want something different. A good Irish is a treat. I am not going to drink more bourbon because Beam is telling me I am bored. Hell, I do not drink Beam now.

 

Boilermakers!

I have one can of beer I am dreading drinking, yet hate to dump it. I will finish it off some day with a submarined shot of whiskey. But I have no Jim Beam, maybe what is left of some Evan Williams Black will help the "pour beer".

 

I still remember those 200ml Jim Beam bottles in plastic I had when wanting nothing special. Even kept an empty one for a while, as a memory...

 

Does this mean they are finished with their Budweiser Reserve Series?



Jack Daniels was my entry level whiskey/bourbon in high school. Tried Jim Beam once, far too sweet for my tastes. Have had the above and a JB BA stout, didn't like either very much.
