I was just wondering if any of the forum readers with connections to the commercial brewing industry can furnish estimates of how much more profitable the hard seltzers are than beer of the same ABV. I think it's a "gold mine" for them.
As I understand it, hard seltzers are just water, sugar, yeasts and flavorings.
No grain that has to be grown, harvested, malted, shipped, stored, crushed, etc. like is necessary for beer plus hops etc.
