Hurricane High Gravity Lager

HurricaneThat’s it folks, turn out the lights – the party’s over. A new champion has been crowned and it is brewed by none other than Anheuser-Busch in the great US of A. At $0.99 and 8.1% abv it is 24 oz of sheer terror for the competition. The distinugishing characteristic, other than the aluminum packaging, is that this golden liquid initially punches the drinker in the mouth with a hefty flavor of malt and liquor. However, the aftertaste is not half bad and is actually quite tame. This particular taste sensation was born on 25Feb06 and “Brewed for a distinctive taste.” This “ale” absolutely fits the bill. If you’re looking for a real adventure give this brew a try.

Man, I am really psyched that some of these good high-gravity beers are finally coming into NC. After the alcohol cap was popped a few months ago, I KNEW that the good stuff would eventually trickle in – and, it looks like it finally has. YESSS!

I’ve been in love with ‘Canes since I tried them they are not for rookies. Try another high gravity (at least 8.0%) malt liquor first because these will knock a light weight on their ass.

The Hurricane Master is right. These are some of the best “High Gravity Lagers” available with agreat taste and the side-effects are simply unbelievable: You will see an increase in confidence, fighting ability and driving skills. “Hurricane Gravity Lager: Feel The Pull”

Steven H is an asshole anyone that says alcohol than” You will see an increase in confidence, fighting ability and driving skills” he must be young dumb. But if you are sitting at home it is the most bang for you buck and it does taste grate unlike high alcohol malts that are to thick. I don’t mean to preach, but the young dumb drinkers are giving society and the legislators too much reason to bust my ass. Steve grow up

Hurricane is so great that I started a web TV show dedicated to Hurricane High Gravity Lager and our infamous “Hurricane Challenge”, if you’ve ever had the pleasure of drinking a hurricane or any type of beer for that matter you owe it to yourself to give this a watch: http://www.youtube.com/SmokeShopShow

Shit’s not half-bad. Whoever was saying it will take a lightweight out, absolutely correct sir. Fusel alcohol rules the taste of this beer, but that’s good if you want a cheap drunk as fusel alcohol delivers most of the drunken effects with twice the speed, though it also bolsters the side-effects of drunkenness, seeing as it is essentially a distillate while beer is a brewed alcohol, and we all know about mixing alcohol :P If you’re like me and see a 30pack as a half-day bout and not an epic weekend, this is a great eye-opener. I don’t recommend it as a nightcap because of the fusel alcohol level which WILL give you a headache regardless of hangover status.

Hurricane is the only way to go. Only a fool would waste their hard earned money on beer like Coors, Lite, Bud Light ,ect. If that’s all I had to drink I would have quit drinking a long time ago, but alas, along came Hurricane. Now I can get drunk and save money too. $3.04 (2-40oz with tax AND deposit) and I’m there!!!!!!!!

this beer is the best by far, i drank 4 40oz i was drunker then a skunk, for just 99cents for a 24 oz can, buy some now YES NOW!!!!!!!!

Matt wrote on July 29, 2009

Hell yeah, three 24oz cans of Hurricane after work and I am good to go. I’m out like a light by 10pm. I wake the next morning feeling quite rested and ready to start all over again. This is much cheaper and easier to obtain than any prescription drug “the man” is trying to sell you.
