White Claw is produced by Mark Anthony Brands, a division of the Mark Anthony Group of Companies that also includes Mark Anthony Brewery and Mark Anthony Wine and Spirits.Īlthough not named after the famed singer, this Mark Anthony should still ring a bell: It’s the very same company that produces Mike’s Hard Lemonade, Cayman Jack, and MXD Cocktail Co. Like a wave, White Claw is hard to pin down. “The alcohol in White Claw Hard Seltzer comes from fermented sugars derived from malted gluten-free grains.” While this doesn’t exactly clarify things, our best guess is that it’s made with cane sugar, which is listed as an ingredient in several variants. It’s made with “a blend of seltzer water, its gluten-free alcohol base, and a hint of fruit flavor,” a brand representative tells VinePair. White Claw is a flavored malt beverage (FMB). White Claw has been compared to everything from vodka soda to the new IPA.
