Sparkling Hopwater
Hopwater is a new non-alcoholic sparkling water infused with hops that we're hugely excited about. It contains zero alcohol, zero calories, zero caffeine and zero sugar. It's basically zero everything - just exceptionally refreshing, and infused with the finest hops that also flavour our beers. Drink on its own or try as a mixer, and let us know what you think.
We currently have two varieties of Hopwater available to purchase; Idaho 7, and Citra. Available in sets of four, or in a mixed case with two cans of each; the perfect introduction to the world of Hopwater!
Idaho 7 Sparkling Hopwater
Named after its home state, Idaho7 is a new hop making a big impact. You'll find sweet, juicy tropical notes in abundance. If you thought that this hop was amazing in your pale ales, wait until you taste how fruit-led it is in hop water.
Some feedback from our test tastings - "It smells lovely - light hops / elderflower aroma. It's a good level of fizz and I like the slight green tinge so you know it's a bit different."
Citra Sparkling Hopwater
The superstar of the hop world, Citra is widely adored by brewers and customers alike for its citrus and tropical fruit flavours. In this hop water, it presents with clean, grassy and dare we say it - dank - aroma that should really hit the spot for IPA fans.
Some feedback from our test tastings - "Great, more refreshing than most standard soft drinks, more savoury/interesting than normal sparkling water"
Nelson Sauvin Sparkling Hopwater
With the name derived from Sauvignon Blanc, Nelson Sauvin hops are renowned for their unique fruity, gooseberry and white wine-like grape flavours.
Nelson Sauvin was released at the turn of the millennium through New Zealand Hops, and we're no strangers to using its unique flavour profile in beers such as Just Because, Reverberate, and Guess The Hop: B.

Krush Sparkling Hopwater
The new kid on the block, Krush is making waves with its ripe tropical fruit, fleshy orange and mixed berry aromas.
We were fortunate enough to be one of the first breweries to use Krush, formerly known as experimental HBC 586, when we brewed Suspended In Krush - a 4% hazy pale ale that shone a light on this exciting new hop.
After brewing this beer, we just had to use Krush in a can of Hopwater!

Why Hopwater?
Hopwater is gaining popularity in the US among people who enjoy the flavour of hops but want a heathier alternative to beer.
In September 2023, our head brewer Sean Knight and founder Darron Anley went out to the hop harvest in Oregon and found a buzz around hop waters from other brewers and growers. There was an enthusiasm from hop suppliers about diversifying the kinds of drinks that hops are used and we were excited to start experimenting.
When we put so much focus on the hops, in terms of going out there to select the varieties we really want, it makes sense to be able to try these hops in their most natural state.
It was our opportunity to innovate, try new things and stand out a bit.
