Rec. Weed by Harpoon Brewery is described as a beverage with a different kind of buzz and that's because it's a non-alcoholic THC-based beverage. With five milligrams of THC, real passionfruit puree, green tea and hops, this clean and crisp canned drink inspires adults to kick back and unwind with a different kind of beverage.
With only 25 calories and three grams of sugar in every slim can, Rec. Weed fills a void in the market. Dan Kenary, CEO and co-founder of Harpoon, said "we saw not only high demand for a THC-based beverage, but an opportunity to experiment in a way that would uniquely leverage our strengths in the beer world."
Notably, Rec. Weed is brewed like a session ale but without fermentation and after the steeping process, THC is added to the liquid base before it is carbonated like traditional beer.
