Hop Water: Offering a N/A Beverage Alternative with Existing Equipment

As more breweries experiment with hop water in their operations and beer lineup (or rather, non-beer lineup), many have discovered that it is actually an easy, economical way to offer a non-alcoholic beverage option and diversify their offerings. In this discussion featuring guest brewers, we will discuss market trends, application and equipment usage, and recipe design to inspire creativity with this pleasant addition to the craft beer community.
