Less than a year after releasing its flagship hop water, Kentucky Hop Water is expanding into the THC category with a new hemp-derived beverage debuting this fall. The drink will be available statewide in Kentucky and online at kentuckyhopwater.com.
The hop-forward sparkling water features notes of grapefruit and orange peel and is infused with 5mg of federally compliant Delta-9 THC derived from hemp.
“Kentucky has deep historical ties to hemp,” said founder Michael Moeller. “In the 1800s, Kentucky was the leading hemp producer in the United States, accounting for over 90% of the national supply. Kentucky Hop Water is excited to draw on that legacy while addressing demand for functional, non-alcoholic alternatives.”
The beverage complies with federal limits under the 2018 Farm Bill, making it eligible for retail and online sales without dispensary access. It provides a light, functional effect with no alcohol.
THC-Infused Kentucky Hop Water (SRP: $18.99 per 4-pack) is available online now and will hit Kentucky retailer shelves in the coming weeks.
