Review: Karbach Brewing Ranch Water Hard Seltzer
Karbach Brewing Company launched their Ranch Water Hard Seltzer January 2021 in Texas. They have since expanded distribution. The Karbach Brewing Company was founded in 2011 by Eric Warner, the former Brewmaster and CEO of Flying Dog, and industry veterans Chuck Robertson, and Ken Goodman. The brewery was named for its location on Karbach Street in Houston’s Spring Branch neighborhood. They were acquired by Anheuser-Busch in 2016. The brewery crafts 11 year round beers including Hopadilla IPA, Rodeo Clown IPA, Clutch City Lager, Love Street Blonde, Crawford Bock, Love Street Light along with several seasonal beers. Karbach Ranch Water is available in a four flavor 12 can variety pack with 3 cans each of Meyer Lemon, Original Lime, Prickly Pear, and Watermelon. They also craft Grapefruit and Spicy Mango Ranch Water which is sold in individual six packs. All of the flavors weigh in with 90 calories, 4.5% alcohol, and 2 carbs. They all are made from a purified water and cold fermented cane sugar base. Natural flavors, lime juice from concentrate, monk fruit extract, agave nectar, citric acid, and malted rice. Monk fruit extract is 150-200 times sweeter than sugar. Malted rice is an ingredient used in all of the A-B owned hard seltzers, and I have not yet found malted rice in any non A-B hard seltzer brand. Read more
