Hop water is emerging as a promising non-alcoholic beverage in the US and Australia, perfectly positioned for health-conscious drinkers and those embracing "no-lo" trends. This simple yet delicious concoction of hops and water offers a guilt-free, hydrating alternative with zero sugar, calories, and hangovers. 1 While US sales show significant growth, particularly during "Dry January," anecdotal evidence points to a similar upward trajectory in Australia, with craft brewers and startups alike entering the market. For Aussie craft brewers looking to tap into this growing demand, producing hop water is a relatively straightforward process, requiring attention to water quality, pH balance (ideally below 4.6), and pasteurization. Experimentation with hop varieties and addition methods (like cool dry hopping or a two-step hot steep) is key to achieving desired flavors, and brewers can further enhance their hop waters with natural citrus flavors or other botanicals. 2 High carbonation is crucial for the final product, and while it's not beer, treating it with a "food and beverage approach" focusing on clean flavors is recommended. Offering hop water on tap can be a great way to gauge customer preferences and capture a broader market.
