No more Zima?

Whatever will underage college girls do with their jolly ranchers now?

MILWAUKEE (AP) ? MillerCoors LLC says goodbye to Zima.

The joint venture between SABMiller's U.S. unit and Molson Coors Brewing Co. told distributors in a letter Monday that production of the malt liquor beverage was discontinued as of Oct. 10.

Chief Marketing Officer Andy England says the decision was due to weakness in the "malternative" segment and declining consumer interest.

He says distributors can get remaining Zima inventories most likely through December.

Distributors are being asked to put products from alcoholic energy brand Sparks on retail store shelves to make up for Zima's absence.

The brand came to the joint venture from Molson Coors, maker of Coors Light and Keystone

Re: No more Zima?

  • I suppose it's a sign of my relatively advanced age that I had no clue Zima was still in existence. 
  • I;m sure they'll find some other fruity candy/beverage combination Wink
  • I don't care what anyone says.  Zima IS refreshment.  I'm gonna miss my good ol' college buddy.
  • I loved Zima. Crying
  • that crap was vile. good riddance.

    now talk to me about some boone's farm and it's on!

    These are my two best friends in the alcohol world!  I also just had a Mike's Hard Lime.  Awesome!

    Never had a Zima--I always thought they were a gay drink.  Seriously, like sold at gay bars exclusively.  I don't mean gay in the pejorative!

  • I figured this was coming, I haven't seen it in a store in a long time.

    Zima was my college buddy, too...  when you drink almost every night, beer gets old after a little while.  I'll have to tell my girlfriends about this!

    mmmm... you know what's good?  Smirnoff Twisters.  yummy!

    And why did I think Zima was a brand of bottled water?

  • I thought they quit making it a long time ago! Agree it was nasty - I drank that in High School. Makes me think of Mad Dog 20/20!!!
