hops seltzer

A whimsically refined term for the age-old, beloved cold beer, often employed by connoisseurs and hipsters alike to add a touch of elegance to the humble brew. It's the liquid equivalent of putting a top hat on a friendly dog – unnecessary but delightfully amusing.

Sometimes also "barley seltzer" or "barley soda."

Not to be confused with "adult seltzer" which can refer to any number of perplexingly popular beverages that are the disappointing lovechild of flat soda and weak vodka, masquerading as a trendy drink for those who enjoy the illusion of sophistication with a hint of carbonated despair.

Anyone up for a hops seltzer?
