The story?

“It started out innocently enough – a friend gave me a beer hopped with Citra.

My life changed.

I began to seek out other hoppy beers. I came to appreciate the grapefruit and mango that Citra brought to my palate. Suddenly, I looked for complexity over simplicity, taste over the lack thereof. I felt smarter, younger and I stopped buying processed cheese.

But things changed when I realized I couldn’t drink the beer at the sports bar with the guys after hockey. They started calling me hurtful names like “beer snob” and “Mr. Fancy”.

What would I drink at weddings? Baseball games? Or even a visit to the Old Man’s place? And WTF was I going to do with all my frozen beer mugs?

My wife left. My dog ran away.

My name is Garnett and I’m addicted to Citra.”

Citraddiction XPA is available only through the Great Lakes retail store in 473mL cans for $3.00 each beginning Saturday, November 28, 2015 at 10am.
