EUGENE, Ore. — Ninkasi Brewing Company, an independent craft brewery based in Eugene, Oregon, has launched a new brand of hard seltzer. Pacific Sparkling is a craft-brewed seltzer inspired by the spirit of the Pacific Northwest and a love for the outdoors. The flagship flavors— Cucumber Mint and Cherry Blossom —will be available in 6-packs in retail locations across the West this month.
Launching a separate brand for seltzer was a matter of focus. “Ninkasi is a beer company,” said Nikos Ridge, Ninkasi CEO, and co-founder. “And we want to stay focused on creating the next great beer. Pacific Sparkling was born from our team’s excitement to enter a new category and do something different.”
“What makes this hard seltzer unique is that it’s handcrafted and brewed just like a craft beer,” says Ridge. Pacific Sparkling’s packaging reflects the hard work that went into making it, with hand-drawn scenes, and stories, that represent the Northwest ideal, along with slogans that embody the independent spirit of the region, like “Un-mass produced” and “Take your time. We took ours.”
