They are baaack! We are thrilled to welcome SWRL, the world’s first Makgeolli Hard Seltzer, to the tasting table. Founders Inji and Haley Kim created SWRL not just as a beverage, but as a bridge between cultures. Inspired by Makgeolli—the traditional Korean rice liquor known for its cloudy appearance and comforting flavor—they reimagined it for the modern palate. The result is a sparkling innovation that honors its roots while embracing a lighter, New York energy.
Perfectly timed for our "Not So" Dry January, SWRL embodies the spirit of M.I.N.D.—Moderation Is Not Dangerous. Clocking in at a breezy 3.7% ABV and only 89 calories, these cans offer a guilt-free way to explore something new. Unlike the clear, one-note seltzers you are used to, SWRL is unfiltered. It pours with a unique, creamy texture derived from fermented Korean rice, yet finishes crisp, dry, and refreshing. It is vegan, gluten-free, and contains absolutely zero sugar.
We are swirling things up with four distinct flavors: the tart and yogurty Original, the floral and silky Earl Grey, the rich Mixed Cherries, and the citrus-forward Yuzu and Pine Needles. Because of the authentic rice sediment, remember to give the can a gentle shake before opening to wake up the texture.
Come by the tasting table to overcome your curiosity and give SWRL a whirl. Discover why this fermented rice seltzer is the most exciting thing to hit our shelves this year.
