In early 2019, we started a brand-new brewery born from a partnership with Dirty Bucket Brewing Co, creating a new and unique approach to brewing, inspired by. “When developing our Hard Tea line, it was very important to only use premium, direct sourced teas because using premium real ingredients is our focus, in cider and now in tea”, said Jason Spears, Founder/CEO. “Unlike sugar filled teas or hard seltzers with only a hint of tea taste, Locust Hard Tea offers a flavor packed experience that is only 100 calories and delivers real tea taste.” “Over 80% of Millennials drink tea but there are very few Hard Tea options in the Adult Beverage space,” said Adam Carlson, Vice President of Sales. At 100 calories and only 5% ABV, it is ideal for beverage consumers looking for a light, refreshing alternative to hard seltzer. Locust Hard Teas use only premium, direct sourced teas to create an alcoholic beverage packed with real tea flavor. Locust Cider is excited to announce the launch of our NEW Locust Hard Teas.
