Hop & Hemp Brewing Co. recently launched two kinds of low-ABV CBD craft beers called Easy Times IPA and Lowdown Lager. These beers come in at just 0.5% ABV and are low in calories, plus provide functional benefits from the non-psychoactive component of cannabis. As James da Silva of Hop & Hemp describes, "We love beer. Sometimes maybe a little too much. That’s why we made it our mission to create brews that have all the big flavors of the best craft beer, without leaving you with a sore head at your 9am meeting or losing yet another Sunday."
While Easy Times IPA combines American hops with aromatic citrus flavors, the crisp Lowdown Lager is described as having a gentle, spicy hoppiness that leads into sweet notes of citrus.
