Which of these five does not belong?
a) Micheladas
b) Pink beer
c) Green beer
d) Purple beer
e) Fizzy yellow beer
There is a context here that would make it easier to provide the answer otherwise obvious to me. But starting with that would take away all the fun.
(Hint added 3/18. See comment below.)
All except Fizzy Yellow beers are intentional creations, you make them that way to get that label. Fizzy Yellow is an after-the-fact slam on certain kinds of beer.
On the other hand, Micheledas are made by the consumer and not by the brewer. It’s a cocktail or a preparation..
Green beer. It only rolls out today and it is made for the color alone (unless you count Verdi Verdi green). It’s the only one with a relatively unambiguous origin.
*gives up
I’d say purple beer doesn’t belong in this list; the others are all marketing creations from big corporate brewers whereas purple beer… isn’t. https://appellationbeer.com/blog/would-you-drink-a-purple-beer/
Fizzy yellow beer. Only it could be brewed per the Reinheitsgebot.
A hint. Saturday morning when I was deleting comment slam that slipped through the cracks I happened to look at the search terms that most often brought readers to Appellation Beer in the previous 24 hours. One of the five above was not in the top 10.
“One of the five above was not in the top 10.”
One of the 5 was not in the top ten results, or was in the top 10?
I “Googled” all of the 5 and only one returned an Appellation result.

Was not. I was looking at the terms WordPress says leads people to links, so don’t really about the Google relationship. For whatever reason, and this mean you can eliminate it as the outlier, micheladas is almost always in there when I remember to look.
So… my purple beer guess was right then? 😉
In fact, the answer is Green Beer. There is stuff about “green beer” here, but it’s all environment related.
