by Justin Page from Laughing Squid on (#K88A)
Necto Cooler is a sour wheat beer created by the Ardmore, Pennsylvania-based Tired Hands Brewing Company, who is known for creating all sorts of experimental brews, that is inspired by Hi-C's orange flavored Ecto Cooler drink. The classic Ecto-Cooler box featured The Real Ghostbusters character Slimer, who is the mascot that Tired Hands Brewing Company also chose to promote their beer.
The limited edition craft beer was released and sold out in a matter of days at their Brew Cafe. Necto Cooler's flavor consisted of a "tart summer bier brewed with wheat. Hopped gently with Simcoe and Citra. Soured in the kettle then conditioned on top of nectarine puri(C)e" at 4.5% alcohol.
