In preparation for a seasonal shift from hot, sunny days and backyard barbecues to crisp air, falling leaves and football season, two iconic brands teamed up to launch Cheez-It Coors Light Beer Cheese flavored crackers. Fit for tailgate season, these crackers capture the taste of a classic beer cheese spread, and are baked with 100% real cheese. As far as what to expect in terms of taste, the crackers are said to be savory with a tangy sauce profile and touches of toasted spices.
Coors Light is officially the first beer brand partnership in Cheez-It history, and Cheez-It Coors Light Beer Cheese flavored crackers respond to snackers' demand for bold, fun new ways to enjoy favorites.
