Native Berry & Blackcurrant Hard Sparkling

TASTING NOTES

A perfect alternative to cider, delightfully sweeter than Native’s other flavours and finishes medium/dry on the palate. Pour into the fanciest glass you have with plenty of ice, they suggest a wine goblet and over-garnish with fruit & herb trimmings.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

2012 saw two friends, Matt & Luke, dreaming up an alcoholicbeverage focused more on how you feel the next day, than howquickly you felt the alcohol. Like all good ideas formed over abeverage with a mate, it was parked for six years… In 2018, Matt and Luke were once again sharing ideas, with Matt’sbrother Guy included. With the rise of hard seltzers in the UnitedStates that focused on a ‘better alcohol option’ the old recipe wasdusted off and put to the test on family and friends… Native hard sparkling was born from this and as they say, the restis history.

DID YOU KNOW?

Native is Aotearoa New Zealand’s first hard sparkling, basedoff the popular hard seltzer market in the US – hint: googlewhite claw. A hard seltzer is a refreshing beverage low insugar, carbs & calories. They use fermented and distilled canesugar to get their neutral spirit – the result is an alcohol basewith very little to no residual carbs and sugar. They wanted to’kiwi-fy’ the term hard seltzer, so called Native a HardSparkling.
