San Diego-based beverage manufacturer Wild Tide is launching a new flavor-forward drink that bridges the gap between cocktail and beach day essential.<\/p>\n
Wild Tide is a new take on ginger beer with an eye toward both craft and flavor. It\u2019s made with real organic ginger juice, natural fruit juices, and a neutralized orange wine base. With a 5% ABV, the drinks are designed to offer a flavorful alternative to hard seltzers, canned cocktails, or beer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Debut flavors include:<\/p>\n
Orange Ginger Lime Grapefruit Jalape\u00f1o Pineapple Passionfruit <\/p>\n
The brand focuses on lower sugar content and a more balanced drinking experience compared to other ready-to-drink beverages, according to CEO, founder, and local beverage entrepreneur Kelsey Chesterfield.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted something refreshing and bolder-tasting that felt closer to a special cocktail than to water,\u201d Chesterfield said. \u201cBeer often left me feeling bloated, hard seltzers lacked flavor, and many canned cocktails were too sweet. We created Wild Tide to offer a more refreshing, flavor-forward option.\u201d<\/p>\n
As of writing, Wild Tide is currently rolling out across San Diego with an eye toward local surf culture<\/a> and outdoor gatherings. The brand is kicking off its launch with appearances at a range of local pop-ups and events. <\/p>\n The activations include the upcoming 20th annual Super Girl Surf Festival<\/a> happening this weekend in Oceanside, where the brand will be on-site with a tasting tent, beach games, and full cans available.<\/p>\n A second-generation beverage entrepreneur, Chesterfield started Wild Tide after more than a decade in beverage marketing and growth.
