It’s a marathon in a can!!!

Young adults today are imbibing less than previous generations, and many have kicked the habit altogether, preferring to make sobriety the hip choice. At the same time, health-conscious millennials are spending more money at the gym, even making group-fitness birthday celebrations a thing.

So it was only a matter of time before beverage manufacturers began marketing formulations tuned to your health, such as 26.2 Brew. The flagship drink of Marathon Brewing Company, a new branch of the Boston Beer Company (makers of Sam Adams), 26.2 purports to be a beer “for runners, by runners.” Created by marathoner, triathlete and cicerone Shelley Smith, 26.2 has 4.0 percent alcohol by volume, 9 grams of carbs and 120 calories. The golden ale is made in part with Himalayan sea salt — which helps to replenish your body with electrolytes.

Smith says hardworking runners are always looking for optimal post-workout drinks — ones that taste good and give them a buzz without undermining their fitness regimen.
