Review: Sparkle Glacier Spiked Hard Seltzer

Sparkle Glacier Spiked Hard Seltzer was released February 2020 by Avery Brewing Company.  Avery Brewing Company was founded September 1993 by Adam Avery and his father Larry in Boulder Colorado.  Avery is probably best known for their White Rascal Belgian Style White Ale but they have crafted dozens of beers including several IPA’s.  Avery is now 70% owned by the Mahou-San Miguel Group.  This is the same company that also owns 90% of Founders Brewing Company, another craft brewery out of Grand Rapids Michigan.  Sparkle Hard Seltzer is made by fermenting brewing sugar (dextrose) into alcohol.  They finish Sparkle as dry as possible so no sugars remain when fermentation is complete.  The complete ingredients list on a can of Sparkle Cherry Lime reads Glacier- Spiked Sparkling Water, Dextrose, Morello Cherry and Key Lime.  The water is sourced from the Arapaho Glacier.  Over one year was spent developing Sparkle and over 60 flavors were created before selecting Cherry Lime, Grapefruit, and CranRaz.  Each can weighs in at 100 calories 5% Alcohol and 1.5 Carbs.
