However, these aren’t your classic brews with high alcoholic percentages — they are usually lower alcoholic brews that are selected for the addition of electrolytes.
One example of a brewery taking a cue from Gatorade and Powerade is Harpoon Brewery’s Rec.
They selected a pale ale that is 3.8% ABV and 120 calories and is made with ingredients that yield electrolytes.
According to brewery president and founder Eric Williams, they have been attracting a very different kind of beer-drinker.
