Loose Ends Brewing in Centerville has released its first flavor of Hop Water — a nonalcoholic, zero calorie beverage — just in time for Dry January.

“Nonalcoholic beverages have been on the rise over the last several years and we have been experimenting with this recipe for a little over a year, said owner John Loose. “Our regulars would have tasted several versions of this during our Gears & Beers car show over the summer where we took their feedback to come up with the final recipe.”

The Pineapple Paradise Hop Water is made simply with water and hops. It’s carbonated for a refreshing taste.

“Our Pineapple Paradise is made with tropical hops that produce a sparkling freshness and low bitterness with a hint of pineapple at the finish,” Loose said.

This beverage is available on draft or in 4-pack cans to take home. Loose said they do have another recipe ready to go, but with new product lines they only release one recipe at a time.

In mid-December, the brewery released a series of gluten-free sours available only on draft.

“Our original three are back on tap in addition to one brand new recipe,” Loose said. “These are very limited and they tend to go very quickly.”

Flavors available include:

  • Gemini (a painkiller inspired gluten-free sour made with pineapple, orange and coconut)
  • UKIRT (a gluten-free sour made with orange, mango and guava)
  • Hilo (a gluten-free sour made with strawberry, mango and pineapple)
  • WM Keck (a pina colada inspired gluten-free sour made with coconut, lime and pineapple)

Loose Ends Brewing is located at 890 S. Main St. For more information, visit looseendsbrewing.com or the brewery’s Facebook (@looseendsbrewing) or Instagram (@loose_ends_brewing) pages .
