For Labor Day weekend, this week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Coney Island Brewing's Beach Beer.
Its been a while since I saw a new Coney Island beer and since I have been a big fan of some of their more recent brews (see reviews of the Merman NY IPA here - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2018/07/sunday-night-suds-coney-island-merman.html and the Mermaid Pilsner here - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2016/09/sunday-night-suds-coney-island-brewery.html) I grabbed a few of these when I mixed a six at an upstate Price Chopper supermarket.
First things first - I would not think of a Kolsch being a Beach Beer, but I learned long ago that there is no rhyme or reason for why most breweries name things as they do. Then again, this brew is like most of the Kolsch style, thin and watery. I guess that might be why they call it Beach Beer, since you can drink a bunch of them at the beach and not become intoxicated. [Not legal advice - just an impartial observation of the lack of taste and the fact that the 4.6% abv measurement seems far fetched].
The beer had almost no hops, was slightly malty and seemed more like a lager then a light style ale. But I guess that works for some people.
The Coney Island Beach Beer is certified kosher by the Star-K and there is a Star-K on the can.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
