My husband has never really been a fan of non-alcoholic drink options. (If you know my man, you know he’s very particular.) Too bland, too sweet, or just plain weird—he always had something to critique. So, when I casually handed him my can of HOPWTR Blood Orange to try one evening, I fully expected the usual grimace.
Instead, he took a sip, raised an eyebrow, and said, “This is actually good.” And just like that, I lost the rest of my can. Now, he’s obsessed. Whether it’s the puckery Ruby Red Grapefruit with its subtle tartness or the crisp Black Cherry that feels like a grown-up soda, he can’t get enough. HOPWTR has officially entered “staple” status in our home.
What Makes HOPWTR Different
HOPWTR isn’t just another flavored seltzer. It’s sparkling hop water, a whole new experience for those of us who are looking for a lighter alternative to our normal happy hour drinks. Each sip delivers the crisp, hoppy essence reminiscent of a craft IPA thanks to hops like Citra, Amarillo, Mosaic, and Azacca—without any of the alcohol, calories, carbs, or sugar.
As if that weren’t enough to love, HOPWTR is also a functional beverage infused with adaptogens and nootropics like ashwagandha and L-Theanine, which supports the body’s natural ability to handle stress and helps enhance cognitive performance. In other words, each can is jam-packed with pure, positive refreshment—no strings (or sugar) attached. Oh, and did I mention prices start at under $3 a pop?!? Amazing!
Why We’re Stocking Up on HOPWTR
Here’s what makes HOPWTR worth a permanent spot in our fridge:
- Non-Alcoholic, But Full of Flavor. Unlike some other NA options, there’s no compromise here. The hops give it that bold, slightly bitter kick that feels like a reward after a long day, and there are tons of flavors to choose from.
Pro tip: Start with the Variety Pack—it’s the perfect way to find your favorite. Blood Orange is my personal favorite, while my husband swears by Black Cherry. The Lemonade flavor has also replaced both of our midday sweet tea habits!
- Guilt-Free Indulgence. Zero calories, zero carbs, zero sugar. I love that we can enjoy it without a second thought, whether we’re watching our macros or just craving something fizzy and flavorful. Bye bye beer belly and hello guilt-free drinking! Plus, it’s not too much of a splurge—at under $3 a can with the subscription, it’s way cheaper than a night on the town. And it just shows up at our doorstep like magic every month!
- Infused with the Good Stuff. HOPWTR contains adaptogens and nootropics that make me feel like I’m choosing something smart for my family. There’s even 120% of your daily Vitamin C in every can—making it the perfect choice as we head into cold and flu season.
- Effortlessly Social. HOPWTR feels fun. It’s the perfect companion for game nights, beach days, or just hanging out. It’s the perfect reminder that you don’t need alcohol to have a good time (or a great-tasting drink). Whether you’re pairing it with a meal, sipping it solo, or using it as a mixer for your favorite boozy beverages, HOPWTR is here to party.
- Made for Everyone. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to replace alcohol—we still enjoy a beer or cocktail here and there. It’s just another way to drink something deliciously celebratory—even if we have an early start the next morning. Plus, it’s vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and checks all the keto, paleo, and Whole30 boxes, making it super inclusive!
So, Is HOPWTR Worth The Hype?
That’s a solid “Heck yes!” from my hubby and I! As someone who’s tried plenty of “better-for-you” drinks, HOPWTR is the booze-free beverage we’ve been searching for—it’s refreshing, satisfying, and just plain enjoyable to drink. Plus, it’s perfect for everything from post-workout hydration to Sunday brunch, family get-togethers to post-work drinks with pals.
So, if you’re looking for something new to stock in your fridge—or just want to surprise someone who “doesn’t do non-alcoholic drinks”—HOPWTR is the way to go. Just don’t blame me if your husband drinks the last can!
