Revolution Brewing's Super Zero is a new sparkling hop water, and has us again thinking about 'hop water' vs. non-alcoholic beer.
As a 30-something beer and spirits writer, I find myself turning increasingly in the direction of non-alcoholic beer or other NA options these days. This is hardly a unique position to be in–many of my peers find themselves in the same boat, tapping the brakes on youthful exuberance and progressing in their careers with greater moderation as the watchword. This has resulted inin recent years, as I’ve watched the category constantly expand and diversify.
The more I think about it, the more I find myself leaning toward the latter: Hop water is superficially similar to non-alcoholic, hop-forward beer, but it doesn’t quite serve the same function when all is said and done. Hop water tends to be more genuinely refreshing, for one–I would reach for one when thirsty, rather than reaching for one specifically when I’m craving a beer.
“We took a look at a lot of different ingredients over several batches, but Super Zero’s recipe ended up with just carbonated water, hops, and citric acid,” said Brewmaster Jim Cibak in a statement. “Sabro and Nectaron are two of the highest quality varieties and we wanted to let those refreshing fruit notes shine. We used whole hop pellets, no oils, extracts, or sweeteners, and found that anything else would just get in the way of that big rush of fresh hop flavor.
