The Hard Seltzer Surge: A Quick History

Hard seltzers have taken the beverage world by storm over the past few years. The category exploded around 2019, with brands like White Claw and Truly leading a movement that blended the convenience of canned drinks with a lighter, lower-calorie alcoholic beverage. The hard seltzer market grew into a multi-billion dollar industry seemingly overnight.

But just as craft beer once disrupted large-scale brewing operations, the hard seltzer space is evolving too with a focus on quality and creative small-batch flavors.

Rochester Hard Seltzers

True to our craft beverage philosophy, we wanted to bring something fresh to the world of hard seltzers. Brewed in-house, Rochester Hard Seltzers feature the same dedication to quality as our craft beers. David, our head brewer, painstakingly experimented, tweaked and improved the process so the flavors come sparkling through.

And unlike many commercial brands, we don’t use artificial flavorings. Instead, we build our own small-batch syrups using whole ingredients like fresh fruit, herbs and botanicals to give each drink a clean and vibrantly unique flavor.

Our current rotating flavor list includes Raspberry Limeade, Blackberry Sage, Mango Habanero and Rootbeer. But we will be rotating new flavors of our house made hard seltzers so stay tuned for more exciting tastes.

Free Tasting Event: Help Us Choose the Next Batch of Flavors

Stay tuned for details on a free seltzer tasting event to help us determine the next round of flavors. We will announce the time, date and place on our Instagram and Facebook feeds!

We’re launching this new line of Rochester Hard Seltzers just in time for the warmer months, and we can’t wait for you to try them. We think you’ll love what we’ve brewed up!
