A small company
with a stubborn idea.
The non-alcoholic category was broken. We didn't set out to make another almost-beer. We set out to make something better — and to share creative control of the glass.
A minority-owned beverage company, born in the Pacific Northwest.
We're a small team, built around one belief — that the non-alcoholic beverage category was broken and needed fixing. Independent. PNW-grounded. Quietly stubborn about doing the work properly.
Non-alcoholic was a second-class experience.
NA drinks cost as much as real beer. Tasted like a compromise. Loaded you with calories. And treated the non-drinker like a second-class consumer with a smaller menu and a higher bill. That wasn't good enough.
- ×Inflated price for shipped water
- ×Flat, oxidized, post-pasteurization flavor
- ×Empty calories and heavy sugar loads
- ×An afterthought menu, not a designed one
A concentrate. Not a copy.
ClearBarrel is a hop-forward syrup concentrate. Add a measure to the sparkling water of your choice and pour a sophisticated craft beverage — anywhere. No alcohol. No inflated cost. No sacrifice.
We make the part that's hard to do well — the hops, the extraction, the balance. We leave the water, the glass, and the moment to you.
The Pacific Northwest
shapes everything.
Our proximity to the world's premier hop-growing region shapes how we source and how we formulate. We work with CO₂ extraction and terpene preservation to keep the volatile aromatics that traditional pasteurization destroys.
What's left is the bright soul of the hop — captured, concentrated, ready for your glass.
We leave the water to you. By delivering only the essence — the bright soul of the hop and the focus of the botanical — we give you total creative control over your glass, your ritual, and your footprint.
Heritage now. The rest is on the way.
Three series, and a long-term ambition to move beyond beer entirely. We'll release things when they're right, not when they're due.
