Research notes

The Krush page says the beer is crafted using BrewVo technology with Yakima Chief Hops and Sustainable Beverage Technologies. Under “How do we make it?” the same page says Switchback uses BrewVo’s patented nested fermentation and membrane separation to gently remove alcohol. The label says Crafted with BrewVo and 100% employee-owned. The average analysis per 12 fl oz lists 13 g carbohydrates, 0 g fat, and 3 g protein.
