Description: Traditionally, it takes a whopping 6-12 litres of water to make 1 litre of golden nectar! At Rocky Ridge Brewing Co, we’ve reduced this to around 3 litres, smashing to industry standard. We achieved this with initiatives like utilising ozonated air to pre-rinse cans during packaging (instead of water), and investing heavily in the brewery’s ability to filter and reuse our own water.
And this is why we do it. This Watermelon Sour pours a pale pinkish-purple, and the aroma offers a blend of candied watermelon with subtle blueberry undercurrents. On the palate, salty blueberry and watermelon greet the taste buds upfront, transitioning into a burst of candied watermelon that lingers through the finish. The overall experience balances sweet, salty, and sour notes, creating a refreshing and flavourful profile.
“So here’s to saving water and our new watermelon-blueberry sour. The power is yours.”
