Zach Top DOES NOT MISS.
Today, the Washington native dropped a brand new single, “Beer For Breakfast,” and much like it sounds, it’s the perfect beer-drinking song. Top once again intertwined his old-school feel with a modern twist, delivering a new twanger in the spirit of a classic country music drinkin’ tune.
Lyrically, this is the song we all wish how day drinking could be… if we had no responsibilities and if it wouldn’t tag you as an alcoholic.
Top teased the single for a few weeks before today’s release, and from his teasers, fans knew this would quickly become an anthemic track. Top even tried “Beer For Breakfast,” sharing a video of him using the cold libation in his cereal.
The comical video perfectly represents how Top views this ditty: lighthearted and fun.
“Don’t go looking for some deep message in this song. This is a fun-loving, country-ass way of lettin’ people know, if they didn’t already, I like beer!! People have been lovin’ this thing on the live shows and I hope they love the single just as much and that it puts them in the mood to pop the top on a cold one and forget about their troubles for a little while!”
“Beer For Breakfast” is about much more than wishing you could crack one open with your bacon and eggs; it’s an ode to how an ice-cold beer pairs nicely with any activity. From mowing the lawn, sitting on a boat, fixing a car, or playing catch with your kiddos, sipping on a beer elevates these activities exponentially.
“When you’re mowing the yard
Working on baby’s car
Getting your honky tonk on
To a steel guitar
If you’re casting a line
Got troubles on your mind
It can help any day
As long as it ends in ‘Y’
Beer for breakfast
Beer for lunch
Beer for supper…”
The “I Never Lie” singer keeps his signature twangs and old-timey feel throughout his vocals, which captivate listeners from the first note as they feel transported back in time. Top has been said to be the artist who bridges generations of country listeners, and a single like this is a testament to that statement—most country fans like beer and love beer-drinking anthems that aren’t corny. “Beer For Breakfast” is truly an inner monologue of how beer is appreciated by many.
After firing up this song, it’s a bad day to be a beer. Zach Top, you’ve done it again, sir.
