Where did you get the idea to start brewing hop water?Īt least five years back, our Marketing Manager, Brad McInerney, asked me why we couldn’t make hop water. This all adds up to a drink that’s got a smooth mouthfeel balanced by a subtle hoppy bitterness. What’s more, our hop waters have zero calories, zero carbs, and zero percent alcohol. They shine a light on the lively citrus and bright pine flavours of locally-grown Ontario hops without adding any ‘natural’ flavours. Our sparkling hop waters are meant to be a healthy and refreshing non-alcoholic alternative to beer that anyone can enjoy – anywhere, anytime. Here’s what he had to say:Ĭan you tell us a bit about your new hop water? What’s all the hype about?įor sure. A few weeks back, we asked Welly brewmaster Marvin Dyck to give us the lowdown on the brewery’s marvelous new creation.
Have you ever wanted to taste the hoppy goodness of your favourite craft brew without having to experience everything else (the calories, gluten, alcohol – and sometimes even hangover) that comes with it? Then Wellington Brewery’s got what you’re looking for: a refreshing and bubbly hoppy drink that you can enjoy on the beach, at the office, and even while driving in your car.
