What is a Sugar Brew?

A sugar brew is the generic term used for the production of an alcohol base through the fermentation of a non-gluten source of glucose or sucrose, such as cane sugar, corn, and/or beet.

By contrast, the fermentation of grains, such as hops, is used in alcoholic beers.

Other products that use a sugar-brew fermentation process include Happy Dad and Bon & Liv. Large, industry-leading beverage companies such as Coors have also launched lower calorie, sugar brew beverages.

Allergens

The FDA recognizes nine foods as major allergens: egg, fish, dairy, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

White Claw hard seltzers are not made with any of the major allergens.

However, the beverages are packaged in facilities that process other foods and drinks. As such, White Claw drinks may come in contact with one or more of the common allergens.
