Public Coast Brewing Co. has entered a collaboration with Portland-based Smith Teamaker to kick off 2025 with the Lord Citra Hop Tea. This non-alcoholic beverage comes just in time for Dry (or Dry-ish) January, when consumers typically focus on reducing their alcohol consumption and making healthier choices for their body.
The zero-proof Lord Citra Hop Tea combines Public Coast Brewing Co.'s Citra-Drop Hop Water and Smith Teamaker's Lord Bergamot tea. Cane sugar and a touch of lemon juice are also added to the mix. The flavorful beverage is gluten-free.
Viviana Kaizer, Public Coast’s director of marketing, commented on the product “We’re excited to collaborate with Smith Teamaker yet again, especially for the new year, since many people cut back on alcohol as a way to detox or as a part of New Year’s resolutions."
