There has been a trend toward non- alcoholic beer and related beverages over the past two years and it’s a trend that shows no signs of abatement. The most common non- alcoholic beverage produced by breweries is an alcohol- free version of a pilsner or other popular style. But another no- alcohol option that is catching on is hop water, like Saint Arnold Hop Spring, a hoppy sparkling water brewed by Houston’s Saint Arnold Brewing.
No Booze, Please
Saint Arnold has offered its sweet and tasty root beer for quite some time and more recently, added Saint Arnold Ginger Beer to the lineup. Both are alcohol fee, but both also contain sugar and calories. Saint Arnold Hop Spring is something completely different. It’s a beverage made with exactly three ingredients: Carbonated water, hops, and phosphoric acid. That’s all you get with this new non- alcoholic drink, making it ideal for those who want something without alcohol but also without sugar.
Saint Arnold brews Saint Arnold Hop Spring using Citra and Amarillo hops. The beverage is gluten- free and, most importantly for many, it has no carbs and no calories! The hops lend a citrus flavor and there is no bitter edge.
Dry January and Beyond
Saint Arnold Hop Spring was introduced just in time for Dry January, but it is a beverage that will likely catch on and continue to be enjoyed during the other months of the year. It offers refreshment without any calories, carbs, or guilt. It’s great for those occasions when you are craving the taste of hops, but don’t want the alcohol that normally comes with them.
Saint Arnold Brewing originally developed Hop Spring as a non- alcoholic drink for its Beer Garden & Restaurant near downtown Houston. Now, it’s a delicious non- alcoholic beverage you can enjoy any time of the year. It’s packaged in six packs of 12 oz. cans. Look for it at places where Saint Arnold beer is sold and discover how tasty an alcohol- free and calorie- free drink can be.
