Coors Light is jumping into the popsicle game. The Colorado based brewery announced on Tuesday that they were launching Coors-icles. Though the treat is nonahcolic, it promises to be beer flavored, Food & Wine reports.
Marcelo Pascoa is the vice president of marketing for the Coors Family of Brands and weighed in on Coors-icles. Of course, he seemed to think they’re the perfect treat for the 2023 NCAA tournament. “Every point, slam dunk, assist and block puts you on the edge of your seat, but a taste of a Coors Light Coors-icle will bring you back to a moment of chill,” Pascoa said in a statement. “We’re making sure that fans watching the games at home or at bars nationwide can cool down with a Coors-icle.”

What does the sports guru Dick Vitale have to say? He expects No. 1 seed Alabama to take home the championship title! USA Today’s analysts believe that a first-time national champion could be crowned in two weeks, with four teams being contenders: Alabama, Gonzaga, Houston or Purdue. Who will actually come out as victor? It might just be whoever is lucky enough to hide some Coors-icles in their freezer.
It remains unclear if Coors will reintroduce their beer-flavored popsicles for the summer months. Maybe the next time around, they can make it alcoholic. That way, they could be available for the hottest, most depressing days of baseball season. In the mean time, eat these responsibly.
