Any chance you're calculating BoM costs on the assumption a distilled/pure alcohol is used as an ingredient?
As this articles highlights, these recent "hard seltzers" actually use a brewing process, apparently for tax purposes.
- ratacat 7y agoThere are commercial scale providers of bulk alcohol that is taxably considered beer. It's not quite as cheap as neutral grain spirits, but ours definitely a lot cheaper then brewing it.
- gojomo 7y agoBut, does it meet the "doesn't taste like beer" requirements mentioned in the article? From the article, it doesn't sound like White Claw, et al, are skipping their own brewing and buying from those "commercial scale providers".
- monocasa 7y agoNo, the brewer I was working with had their own hard seltzer product, brewed the same way.
