What Does ‘Crispies’ Mean in Beer?

What are Crispybois or “crispies” in the beer geek world?

If we are in the realm of beer geek terms, when one uses the slang “crispies” they are referring to macro beers or pilsners like a Coors Light on Bud Light or other boring corporate beers.

Also may be simply referring to beers that are kept in the crisper bin of the refrigerator. No space on the shelf so you start storing beers in the crisper.

Don’t forget the Bros and how the term crispies relate! You call them “crispy bois”. At least you could call them that.

I have two beer bins in my garage fridge full of bad “crispies” waiting for a really REALLY desperate day when they are the only beers around.

A day I hope never comes. At least now I know what to call them.
