Coffee and Bailey\u2019s Irish Cream<\/a> go together like peas and carrots, no two ways about it. They\u2019re like bread and butter, like pb and j, like wine and cheese or chocolate or more wine even. They are two great tastes that taste great together. So when Bailey\u2019s announced earlier this week they would be releasing a canned coffee product, it\u2019s an easy home run, right? Wrong. Like Heddo at the end of Rookie of Year<\/a>,<\/em> when the young and normal-armed Henry Rowengartner lobs up one last meatball, Bailey\u2019s completely whiffs. There\u2019s no alcohol in this drink.<\/p>\n

Yep, Bailey\u2019s, a company that trades exclusively in flavored liqueur sector, has decided to expand their portfolio and start making ready-to-drink cold brew cans. Non-alcoholic ones. According to a recent article in Yahoo<\/a>, the 11-ounce 100% Arabica beverage will come in two flavors, salted caramel and Irish cream, and will be available for purchase in-store and on Amazon. And that\u2019s great, but why though?<\/p>\n

I’ve got nothing but love for Bailey\u2019s; a not-insignificant portion of my Freshman 15 is due to a late-night pre-game pick me up of Bailey\u2019s and coffee. But this right here, this is a \u201cstay in your lane\u201d situation. If I wanted a can of cold brew\u2014which frankly is rare but has been known to happen\u2014why would I pick one up made by a non-coffee company? I don\u2019t look to Anne Lunell<\/a> every time I want a creamy liqueur (though Klaus Thomsen<\/a> has some coffee liqueur experience that may come in handy).<\/p>\n

Now you may be saying, \u201cbut Zac, just pour Bailey\u2019s in it yourself. Problem solved!\u201d Problem NOT<\/em> solved, theoretical person who\u2019s only trying to help. If I\u2019m going to have to do all the heavy lifting and play shitty dorm room mixologist, I\u2019m not going to use Bailey\u2019s cold brew. What, am I going to mix Bailey\u2019s Irish Cream with Bailey\u2019s Irish Cream cold brew? Sure, let me just put this hat on this other hat real quick. No, I\u2019m going to grab a regular, unflavored cold brew\u2014maybe a Stumptown stubby<\/a>, maybe some Verve flash brew<\/a>, or maybe even that cannabis-infused Ritual cold brew<\/a> if I\u2019m feeling like getting wild.<\/p>\n

What I won\u2019t be grabbing, and you can put this on my tombstone, is a non-alcoholic Bailey\u2019s cold brew. Buuuuuuut if you were to throw a little cold brew whiskey<\/a> in there, maybe I\u2019d be back in.<\/p>\n
