Unconventionally crafted, steeped in heritage
While we’ve taken care to stay true to tepache’s deep roots, we put our crooked spin on a centuries old tradition to create a truly unique beverage that everyone can enjoy, because we believe that sessionable moments should be shared among friends. Our fermentation process is simple and inspired by tradition. Crooked Owl Hard Tepache is craft fermented with organic pineapple, piloncillo and cane sugars, purified water, and our proprietary tepache culture that we extracted from the rinds of a pineapple. Each inspired flavor profile is sweetened with a diabetic friendly non-sugar substitute and is kissed with a unique blend of natural flavors to achieve the juicy, pineapple forward flavor.
Crooked Owl Hard Tepache tasting notes
Our dry, pineapple-based Hard Tepache is crisp and effervescent, reminiscent of a fruity natural wine with tropical undertones. Each unique flavor expression offers a hint of sweetness from its pineapple base but doesn’t taste sweet like cider, nor does it taste like a barely flavored seltzer.
Piña – Our traditional expression is of course giving pineapple, but it’s also layered with herbs and baking spices. Its flavor profile is subtly sweet and earthy, yet refreshing and bright like fresh cut grass on a brisk spring day.
Pasión – Our best-selling and juiciest expression is lively, tart, and just a bit sweet. Its flavor profile has aromatic floral notes and a hint of tropical fruitiness.
Jalapiña – Our boldest expression is balanced and vegetal. The same subtle sweetness as our Piña flavor is accented with mango extract and studded with spice and depth from the jalapeño and habanero chilis.
