San Francisco —  21st Amendment Brewery pays homage to the South of Market (SoMA) neighborhood they’ve called home for 20 years with a new hard seltzer brand: SOMA Hard Seltzer (100 calories, 2g carbs, 0g sugar). Founded in 2000, 21st Amendment’s brewpub is among the pillars of the Northern California craft beer scene located in SoMA, the new heart of the city. SOMA Hard Seltzer’s 6-Pack design commemorates the originality of the neighborhood from its stencil artwork and murals by local artists to downtown’s angular landscape to the revitalization of the area with new live/work spaces and restaurants. The perfect mix of grit, renewal, and natural beauty, SoMA reflects a modern renaissance happening in metropolitan enclaves across the country such as Brooklyn, LoDo in Denver, and others. SOMA Hard Seltzer celebrates home, no matter where you might dwell.

Masterminds of beloved fruit beers (i.e. Hell or High Watermelon), 21st Amendment’s SOMA Hard Seltzer carries on their infatuation with watermelon for a clean, crisp all-natural seltzer that also comes in enticing flavors such as Guava & Passion Fruit, Mango, and Black Cherry. 21st Amendment’s craft hard seltzer line is executed with the same level of innovation as their acclaimed beer portfolio.

“SOMA Hard Seltzer is brewed with our craft roots in mind. We spent six months working to get the flavors and taste just right. Unlike other hard seltzers, 21st Amendment’s is made using a natural fermentation process giving it a cleaner flavor. SOMA Hard Seltzer is NOT made with grain neutral spirits, and then diluted with water. Many hard seltzers made that way have a metallic and artificial taste. SOMA Hard Seltzer is brewed with Virginia Dare natural flavors, a 90-year-old New York company making wonderful products for the beverage industry,” says Shaun O’Sullivan, Co-Founder and Brewmaster.

Nico Freccia (Co-Founder/CEO, 21st Amendment Brewery) adds, “SOMA Hard Seltzer is wonderful for the active on-the-go individual who is looking for a craft ‘better-for-you’ beverage. It does not fill you up with its 100 calories and 2 grams of carbs with zero sugar.”

Hot summer days are upon us, and whether you’re enjoying your time inside or venturing outdoors, SOMA Hard Seltzer brings a taste of home wherever you roam.

SOMA Hard Seltzer is available now in all 30 states where 21st Amendment distributes. For more information and to find some using our beer finder, please visit www.21st-Amendment.com.

About 21st Amendment Brewery
Twenty years ago (established in 2000), Nico Freccia and Shaun O’Sullivan opened the doors to the 21st Amendment brewpub in San Francisco’s historic South Park neighborhood. In addition to quickly becoming one of the city’s favorite pubs, 21st Amendment began expanding beyond the Bay Area by helping to pioneer the movement to canned craft beer. Known for their witty names and delicious brews, 21st Amendment offers year-round selections, as well as seasonal offerings and their infamous “Insurrection Series” of once-in-a-while limited-edition releases. Sold in 28 states plus Washington D.C., 21st Amendment produces beer in its state-of-the-art brewery headquarters in San Leandro, California and is among the top 50 craft beer brewers in America.

BOSTON – Coming off their first place win as best hard seltzer at Fizz Fight, as voted by over 2,000 attendees, Willie’s Superbrew is continuing to innovate with the release of the first cold weather hard seltzer, Sparkling Pear & Cinnamon. Still light and refreshing like a hard seltzer, their new Pear & Cinnamon provides a delicious, warming option for fall and winter. As with all their Superbrews  Hard Seltzer, this seasonal uses only real fruits and spices, with no artificial or “natural” flavors.

“We couldn’t be more excited to lead the hard seltzer market with not only the first seasonal hard seltzer, but the first one crafted for the cooler months.” Willie’s Superbrew CEO, Nico Enriquez says,“This category is exploding, but hard seltzers aren’t known for having exciting flavors. We always strive to do things differently, and creating a gloriously delicious fall flavor couldn’t be more fitting.”

Joining their existing lineup of delicious,fruit-forward, real fruit-centric flavors, Pear & Cinnamon provides a bold flavor with a hint of holiday spice, but remains light enough to be sessionable. “The sweet and spicy aroma of cinnamon hits first with faint vanilla notes,” Head of Production, Jack Delano, describes, “As you sip it, you notice the pear and cinnamon upfront in harmony. And finally, the vanilla rounds out the flavor profile.”

This limited release will be available through February.

About Willie’s Superbrew
Willie’s Superbrew Hard Seltzer is blended with real fruit. It’s gluten free and low in carbs and calories, but we brew with thousands of pounds of real fruits and spices, meaning it’s bursting with real flavor. It’s a drink as unique and refreshing as its origin story. Because after all, there aren’t many places where a goat farmer and a young neuroscientist would meet, but apparently a beach on the Cape is one. Willie shared his ginger brew, and they started selling it at farmers’ markets. The rest is history.
