The Weekend Buzz Tries Athletic Brewing’s Layback Lime & Salt to Close Out Dry January
Alright, my Texas friends… we made it. Dry January is on its last lap, our livers are feeling appreciated, and my fridge is about to welcome its old friends back. But before we pop the real stuff, we’ve got one more non-alcoholic banger to spotlight on The Weekend Buzz, and it’s another good one.
Enter Athletic Brewing Company’s Layback Lime & Salt.
What Is Athletic Brewing Company’s Layback Lime & Salt?
This one is basically a beach vacation in a can… without the sunburn or questionable decisions. It’s a non-alcoholic Mexican-style lager with bright lime flavor and just enough salt to keep things interesting.

It’s crisp, refreshing, and dangerously easy to crush — which is great, because you can have two and still remember what you watched on Netflix.
How It Tastes (From a Guy Who Misses Real Beer)
You get that clean lager snap first, then the lime rolls in like, “Hey buddy, missed you,” followed by a light salty finish that makes you want another sip immediately.
It’s not trying to pretend it’s a margarita. It’s just being a really solid fake beer… and honestly, that’s impressive.
The Perfect Way To End Dry January
If you survived Dry January, congratulations, you’re mentally tougher than most Cowboys fans in December.
Layback Lime & Salt is a smooth, easy victory lap drink. Light enough for daytime, flavorful enough to not feel like punishment, and chill enough to close out the sober experiment with some dignity.
Next week… We ride again, Texas.
