The Seltzer Revolution

Our Top Tap Truck Seltzer picks

Something happened in the drinking world that few foresaw coming. Hard seltzers are all the craze. They are seen at every party now, and just about every company that can produce it is trying to get a piece of the market. The drinkable and refreshing beverage have a low ABV of 5%. After all we found it important to ask: What is hard seltzer? Sparkling (carbonated) water with fruit flavor and alcohol.  It is gluten free, creating less bloat, half the carbs and fewer calories, then less sugar which helps keep a lower hangover. 

Hard Seltzer is beyond simple to make with its recipe / lack of ingredients. This is why we see so many big alcohol brands, that already have the equipment to slap their label on hard seltzer. They simply can or bottle the mixture and carbonate it to get it on shelves. Get ready because a big prediction is that stores will be flooded with this stuff! And at least the US will be drinking!
