Review: Quirk Raspberry Rocket Pop
All right I will admit it we were trying to review Quirk Raspberry Rocket Pop hard seltzer before July 4th. After reviewing 5 other bomb pop hard seltzers we had hoped to review Quirk Raspberry Rocket Pop and then post a bomb pop hard seltzer feature including our thoughts on all six bomb pop flavored hard seltzers on the market today. Two things happened, first we didn’t get our hands on a can of Quirk Raspberry Rocket Pop hard seltzer until after July 4th, and then we found out there were at least 4 other brands of bomb pop hard seltzer yet to review. Oh well millions of people enjoy bomb pops all summer long so its not like we are reviewing a candy cane flavored vodka the day after Christmas. Quirk Raspberry Rocket Pop is one of 13 hard seltzers crafted by Boulevard Brewing Co. and the only one not currently available in a 4 flavor 12 can variety pack. It is only available in individual flavor 12 packs. Read more
