Snake River Brewing's Snake River Seltzer is a non-alcoholic hop water beverage that is made with just a handful of simple ingredients, including water, hops and ascorbic acid. The alcohol-free beverage is free from carbs and calories, as well as sugar and sweeteners, offering a refreshing way for people to enjoy the taste and aroma of Idaho hops.
As the beverage is packaged in a canned format, it can be enjoyed straight out of the can, or alternatively mixed into a cocktail to provide a uniquely flavored base.
Breweries and beverage companies are experimenting with a variety of hop-forward products, especially at a time when consumers are increasingly interested in full-flavor, non-alcoholic options.
