Mission Brewery Launches Hard Root Beer

05 Mar 2015 --- Mission Brewery is proud to announce the launch of its Hard Root Beer. The idea for Hard Root Beer, which is available in Mission Brewery’s tasting room and coming soon to retailers nationwide, originated before a baseball game.

Dan Selis, Mission Brewery’s Founder and CEO, explains that their tasting room’s location next to the Padres’ Petco Park leads to a higher volume of customers during baseball season, including people that aren’t traditional beer drinkers. Their requests for something “different” led to the creation of craft malt-cocktails, including Hard Root Beer. Mission Brewery’s Hard Root Beer was crafted in-house with the guidance of Head Brewer John Egan and Quentin Anderson, also known as Mission Brewery’s resident “Craft Cocktail-ologist.”
