More cool canned beverages to try this summer

Canned beverages to try: Austin Eastciders

Austin Eastciders produces craft ciders in Austin, Texas using all-natural ingredients and bittersweet apples to create traditionally-inspired ciders. Helping to move the mainstream toward a hard cider that is lower in sugar while featuring more complex flavor profiles, Austin Eastcider’s offers a range of styles created to appeal to beer, wine, and cider drinkers alike. On their own, Austin Eastciders can be mixed into a cocktail, or served with a shot of whiskey, proving that there is no wrong way to enjoy an Austin Eastcider.

Canned beverages to try: Waterloo Sparking Water

In 2017, after recognizing that consumers were seeking — but not finding — beverage choices which were healthy, authentic, transparent and better-for-them while tasting great, Waterloo Sparkling was launched. The Austin-based brand is a bold take on sparkling water, making its mark by focusing on fruit-inspired flavor & aroma and delivering a much richer, more authentic taste.

Waterloo is made with Non-GMO Project Verified and Whole 30 Approved flavors, while also free of calories, sodium, sugar and artificial sweeteners. For the benefit of their fans and the environment, Waterloo has only ever been produced in aluminum cans, made with BPA-free liners. In turn, Waterloo’s sparking water is ideal for mixing with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, while also great on its own.

Canned beverages to try: Beach Juice Rosé

Beach Juice is an easy drinking California rosé with a retro-vibe can that just screams “good vibes only.” Its 2 rosé products — “Original” and “With Bubbles” — are presently available for purchase in 6 states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with online ordering recent launched.

This single-serve rosé is a great option when heading to the pool, beach or socially-distant hangouts. And given everything going on, single-serve beverages are undeniably the best option to “grab and go” without having to share a bottle of wine.

Per the taste of Beach Juice, expect luscious red berry fruits on the nose. It carries a crisp yet flavorful palate with notes of strawberry, cranberry and watermelon, and ultimately a refreshing and dry finish. 13 percent ABV and an interesting mix of Barbera, Grenache, Syrah and Pinot Noir.

Canned beverages to try: Twisted Tea’s Big Ol’ Bag Of Freedom

To keep the good times twisted this summer, Twisted Tea has released a celebratory summertime bag-n-box complete with the spirited Big Ol’ Bag Of Freedom design. Drinkers can enjoy said Big Ol’ Bag Of Freedom by slapping it, tapping it or to keep it extra Twisted, by putting it in your freezer and making a boozy Twisted Tea slushie. Technically not a canned product with this one, no, easy to pour into Solo cups; Twisted Tea does of course come in single-serve bottled form.

Also of note about the Twisted Tea brand is that has also released some fun new flavors just in time for the summer of 2020: Peach Twisted Tea, Passion Fruit Twisted Tea, and Black Cherry Twisted Tea. Altogether ideal for fans of the current hard seltzer craze.
