Mybeerbuzz .com Highlights 10 Barrel Ranch Water & Golf Tea (Review)

I’m always excited to get my hands on new creations from 10 Barrel Brewing in Bend, OR and they are always kind enough to oblige when new beverages hit the streets. Whether it’s one of their tasty stouts or better yet, a hoppy IPA or hop-forward pale ale, I can honestly say I haven’t had a beer I didn’t like from 10 Barrel….but today we’re changing directions.

Today we’re wandering off the beer trail to try out their new RTD canned cocktails Ranch Water and Golf Tea. These Ready-To-Drink cans contain alcohol and some really unique flavor combinations and they are among the multiple other RTD’s that 10 Barrel calls “Not Beer.”

Ranch Water starts with house-made sparkling mineral water, and to that they add fresh lime and a “touch” of agave and tequila. I can say that this canned cocktail tastes very much like the real cocktail with a really drinkable combination of citrus and a touch of tequila. Ranch Water hits 7.1%-AbV and I found it to be really tasty and enjoyable.

Golf Tea will take you in a different direction and starts with 10 Barrel’s house-made lemonade. From there, hand-selected iced tea and vodka are added to form the final drink. Golf Tea tastes like the classic lemonade / iced tea blend and the flavors really work well together. This cocktail also hits 7.1%-AbV and I found it to be refreshing and a tasty way to enjoy a round of golf.

10 Barrel Ranch Water & Golf Tea are available now in 12oz cans so get out there and try them for yourself. And when you do try them, be sure to let us know what YOU think. zzubreebym

REFRESHING SUMMER CLASSICS JOIN 10 BARREL’S AWARD-WINNING CANNED COCKTAIL COLLECTION

BEND, OR (Aug. 2, 2022) – 10 Barrel Brewing welcomes two new canned cocktails to its award-winning 10 Barrel libation portfolio.  10 Barrel Ranch Water is the brand’s take on the classic summer favorite—a tequila-infused sparkling mineral water. Golf Tea is 10 Barrel’s iteration of the classic John Daly cocktail and can be enjoyed on or off the course.

Ranch Water, holding its own at a robust 7.1% ABV, is a Mexican tequila, lime, and agave-infused sparkling mineral water. It offers crisp refreshment and will whisk your mind away to a sandy beach in Mexico, fueling the ultimate state of  relaxation as you bask in the last few weeks of summer.  MSRP $13-15/4-pack

No mulligans were taken in the development of 10 Barrel’s Golf Tea. In fact, the creation of Golf Tea was more of a hole-in-one.  Golf Tea is a combination of 10 Barrel’s house-made lemonade, hand selected iced tea, and vodka. It is a perfect beverage for hitting the links and may loosen your swing for an epic round. But be forewarned, at a whopping 7.1%, a few too many may have you hollering “FORE!”  MSRP $13-15/4-pk

“With temperatures lingering in the triple digits here in Oregon the past few weeks, these canned cocktails offerings could not have dropped at a better time,” said Brian Hughes, Marketing Director at 10 Barrel. “These refreshing and tasty new cocktails offer sheer joy and relief, carrying you through the rest of your aprés outdoor adventures this summer.”

Ranch Water and Golf Tea will be year-round offerings and join 10 Barrel’s existing canned cocktail lineup, making a total of nine in the collection. All 10 Barrel canned cocktails are made with real liquor and are gluten-free. Most of them are also vegan (with the exception of the Bloody Mary).
