So I was cruisinโ€™ Cosmo as I am wont to do on a Friday morningโ€”yโ€™know, the usualโ€”when much to my astonishment, I found out that thereโ€™s now an alcoholic cold brew. I’m surprised it took this long.

Itโ€™s called Bad Larryโ€™s Cold Hard Coffee and according to the only Cosmo article Iโ€™ve ever read that wasnโ€™t about the best ways to navigate my and othersโ€™ nether regions, it’s “cold brew coffee that’s steeped for more than 16 hours and infused with malt liquor.” Each 11.5-ounce can of the coffee version ofย Four Loko (Four Lo-Kold? Four Barrel Lo-Kold Brew? Joke is a work in progress) sits at a healthy 6% ABV and contains 180mg of caffeine, which is a little more than that of a 12-ounce cup of drip.

A Bad Larryโ€™s Cold Hard Coffee four-packโ€”which again, is like 16 Lokosโ€”will retail for $10 once it hits shelves in the Midwest, with hopes of selling nationwide within the year.

So there you have it, malt liquor-infused cold brew. I donโ€™t think Bad Larry will be altering my plans to sneak in a few Stumptown coldies into my local pool this summer, but maybe youโ€™re the sippin-cold-brew-from-a-brown-paper-bag type. What I really want to know is, who is this Bad Larry? Does he readย Cosmo too? Will he share his lovin’ tips?ย
