    Just to clarify at least original White Claw gets its alcohol from fermented sugar. It’s basically a gluten free clear beer with no hops and fruit flavor added.

    High Noon and anything labeled Vodka soda use actual distilled spirit. Those are more expensive and taste better, especially after a few.

      Depends on the state, no? Many states will tax distilled spirits higher than just fermented beverages, even if the end product is essentially just a 5% 12oz can.

      We need these laws to change, imo.

          I mean the price difference, because tax. The product will be the same but could be different prices depending on state liquor laws.

      It actually says “beer” in small print on the can since it is according to the legal/regulatory definition.
