Beer For Your Lips, Seriously

Hold the phones! And Sierra Nevada beer lovers, more specifically, unite! Are you sitting down? The Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. has made (are you ready?), a lip balm! I know! I’m just as excited as you. When my fellow fashion blogger sent me the link, I did the victory dance and all but peed myself. OK, that’s a lie. There was no victory dance or removing of the bladder, but more of an: “OMG! I can’t believe I just said O.M.G out loud!” moment.

Anyone who knows me, and there aren’t many because I’m so mysterious in my ways, knows that my favorite beer of all time is Sierra Nevada. I’ve actually had friends dissuade me from bars I would otherwise frequent because their tap or bottle selection is sans the Sierra. This is not to say this is my only choice in beer. I do also like Guinness, a fine bitter I.P.A. and others, but Sierra Nevada, in all its variations, is my go-to brand. I like Clinique on my skin, Chanel on my lips, Victoria’s Secret on my ass and Sierra in my gut. As you can see, I’m very worldly in my choices.

I get that the whole flavored lip balm has been milked with everything under the sun, but this is beer, ladies! Fucking beer! It’s not some soft-core mimosa type shit that you only drink at brunch, this is the real deal that you reach for at all hours. And it’s made of hops just like the real thing! Sure these hops are “non-alcoholic” because why waste a proper hops on your lips? But it’s still so awesome there are no words.

Like I said, there are no words, so this is where the story ends. But seriously, I just placed my order… did you?

    Amanda you just made my month! As I write both classic and torpedo are waiting patiently at home for me to enjoy this evening. I’m already counting the days to Sierra summer, which I live off of until fall. Thank you lady! I raise my SN to you this evening. (ordered 2 plus brittle and a new carabiner)

      That’s what I’m here for, Meredith! They really are the best EVER.

    You should probably head over to Chico if you ever make it to the west coast. You would love the free brewery tour

    This is not the first beer lip balm. Dogfish Head Brewery had one for their peach beer a few years ago, but I am looking forward to trying this one!

    You guys must get Buddha Balm (buddhabalm.com). I have seriously tried everything and this stuff works like crazy. Cool company too.
