RIP ZIMA
Permalink  

I remember liking this enough when I wasn't in a beer place, but haven't had it in easily 10 yrs I bet. I didn't even know it was still around....

MillerCoors LLC said today it has stopped brewing Zima, a sweet, clear malt beverage that was among the first "malternative" drinks.

The new joint venture of Miller Brewing Co. and Coors Brewing Co. dropped production of Zima because of "challenging malternative segment sales and declining consumer interest," according to a statement by Andy England, chief marketing officer.

"This decision is necessary to reduce complexity when it comes to our brand portfolio, allowing for more focused activity at retail on consumer-preferred brands, especially Sparks," England wrote. Coors launched Zima in 1994.

Sparks is a citrus-flavored caffeinated malt beverage that was created to appeal to drinkers who mix energy drinks with vodka.

Never was a Zima drinker... Does remind me of a guy I went to college with. Kenny from Trinidad... he used to drink Zima with Grenadine.... Don't know why. He was kinda weird.

I had it. It was an early college drink every once in a while since I really wasn't big on the beer. Can't remember the last time I had one though. But I can't see me wanting any "Sparks" either.

I've never heard of Sparks until now. There are a plethora of "bomb" drinks made with Red Bull. Why mess with what works?
