Von Ebert Brewing Releases Non-Alcohol Sparkling Hop Water Series in Dry January

PORTLAND, Ore. — Today, Von Ebert Brewing launched an innovation as part of its new Von Ebert Presents series of non-beer offerings working their way into the 2026 lineup. The three non-alcohol sparkling hop waters, called Boost, Flow, and Chill, are the first in the series, which will later include hard teas, hard fruit punch, and hard seltzer, among others, to offer variety and appeal to more legal-age drinkers.

"At Von Ebert Brewing, we believe in making our best beer but also evolving with the changing tastes of customers," said Jason Hansen, Director of Sensory and Innovation at Von Ebert Brewing. "More people are drinking less and participating in Dry January – one of the hardest months already for most breweries even before the viral trend. Von Ebert Brewing wanted to ensure customers have no excuse not to still come out and visit us this month. We're also excited to brew even more non-beer products throughout this year so we have something for everyone."

The three non-alcohol sparkling hop waters, available in 12-ounce cans, are meant to be drunk at three distinct parts of the day. For mornings, Boost Hop Water is citrus flavored with 70 milligrams of caffeine. Flow Hop Water, with tropical flavors, has electrolytes to help you get through the afternoon. And Chill Hop Water, with berry and floral flavors, is brewed with lavender and chamomile to unwind before bed.

Von Ebert Presents is a new series of non-beer offerings the brewery will produce throughout 2026 to reach a wider audience with non-alcohol seltzers, hard teas, hard fruit punch, and hard seltzer, among others. Next on the docket will be hard tea this spring.

Von Ebert Brewing's recently opened N. Mississippi location (825 N. Cook St., Portland) is now home to food truck Tehuana Mexican Cuisine every day of the week, in addition to critically acclaimed, HarBQ on weekends. Beer drinking visitors at all three Von Ebert Brewing locations can purchase 20-ounce steins of gold medal winning Clubhaus Lager for $3 all day, every day. And at the N. Mississippi location, Volatile Substance NW IPA is available for just $5 between noon to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The new brewing facility allows Von Ebert Brewing production and distribution to go from 4,000 barrels per year to as much as 20,000 barrels per year and it's more than halfway there adding these new offerings. Von Ebert Brewing now sells more of its products in 12-ounce and 16-ounce cans and expanded its distribution throughout Oregon, Washington, Colorado, California, and Japan.

Von Ebert Brewing was founded in 2018 by Tom M. Cook and Tom S. Cook in Portland, Oregon. Von Ebert Brewing is named after the family matriarch lovingly referred to as "Grandma Ebert." The quintessential immigrant story, Grandma Ebert came to America from Germany via Ellis Island and relied on her grit and determination to create a successful life for her family here in the states. In that vein, the brewery has displayed those same traits and gained success through numerous World Beer Cup medals: 2025 Gold American Light Lager with Clubhaus, 2023 Gold German-Style Pilsner with Pils, and 2024 Bronze Vienna Lager. Our moniker celebrates Grandma's tenacity and honors our heritage. Von Ebert translates loosely to "House of Ebert" or in full English, "House of the Boar."
