For nearly the last decade, the alcohol market has seen a new player take over. Before, people were crushing beers at parties or taking shots of some standard liquor. Now, we have all different types of drinks. People are drinking hard seltzers, hard ciders, hard this, or hard that. One of the more popular drinks is Twisted Tea.<\/p>\n

But, what is Twisted Tea? What kind of alcohol is in twisted tea? What are the nutritional facts? We\u2019ll cover all of this, and all the different flavors of Twisted Tea available as well.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/figure>\n

Twisted Tea Overview<\/h2>\n

Twisted Tea is a hard iced tea, owned and produced by the Boston Beer Co that first hit the market in 2001 out of Cincinnati, OH. It contains 5% alcohol (with the exception of their light version, which is 4%), and uses real tea leaves.<\/p>\n

Already we see that TT is very beer like. It\u2019s 5% alcohol with a 4% light option \u2013 much like Coors and Coors Light<\/a>, or any other domestic beer. <\/p>\n

You can find Twisted Tea at nearly every liquor store, grocery store, or gas station across the country. Any place that sells alcohol is likely to have TT available. There are many flavors to choose from, and they even offer a Sweet Tea Whiskey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Twisted Tea Flavors<\/h3>\n

There are 11 different Twisted Tea Hard Iced Tea flavors to choose from. To prevent boring you with details about each and every one, we simply added some notes to the side of a few. We hope you know the difference between raspberry and mango.<\/p>\n

    What Kind of Alcohol is Twisted Tea?<\/h2>\n

    We often think of Twisted Tea and hard seltzers as vodka drinks. I mean, if you are to make a hard iced tea at home, you\u2019re probably just going to add vodka to tea. But that\u2019s not how TT is made. That would be something more along the lines of a canned cocktail.<\/p>\n

    Twisted Tea is essentially a beer that uses tea leaves instead of hops. Malted barley is fermented to add alcohol, then tea leaves are added to create the tea flavor. They add some \u201cnatural flavoring\u201d, as well.<\/p>\n

    A normal, typical beer uses malted barley as the base grain and adds hops after fermentation. TT adds tea leaves instead.<\/p>\n

    Nutritional Info<\/h2>\n

    As we mentioned, there are 11 flavors of TT, each of which may have some variance in its nutritional info. So, we\u2019re just going to cover the facts of their Original and Light options.<\/p>\n
