The Wawa x Cape May Brewing Co. Shore Tea is Refreshingly Crafted
Michael Hemsworth — July 20, 2022 — Marketing
The Wawa x Cape May Brewing Co. Shore Tea is a collaboration refreshment arriving exclusively at select Wawa beer store locations for consumers to pick up this summer.
The refreshment is crafted with a blend of Wawa's signature Peach Iced Tea and alcohol from the Cape May Brewing Co. for a sweet yet balanced flavor experience. The hard tea is crafted with a naturally gluten-free recipe, has no peach juice in the mix and maintains a 4.5% ABV.
Direct of Brewing Operations at Cape May Brewing Co. James Fox explained the new Wawa x Cape May Brewing Co. Shore Tea further saying, "We approached the process of making this tea similar to how we make our seltzers. We kept it simple, just like if you were going to make tea at home. Fortunately, we were able to use the same ingredients that Wawa uses in their peach tea."
