Flavor Tools For Modern Beer, Cider And Ready To Drink Alcoholic Beverages

Alcoholic beverages are more diverse than ever. Brewers, distillers and RTD producers are producing fruited IPAs, pastry stouts, cocktail in a can programs, spiked seltzers and hard teas. The through line in all of this is flavor. Consumers want clear, memorable profiles that justify the tap handle or the 4 pack price.

Northwestern Extract Company works with alcoholic applications from beer and cider to flavored malt beverages and spirit based RTDs. Our alcohol and TTB friendly flavor systems are designed to perform in these environments and to support the story you want to tell.

Where Flavor Has The Biggest Impact

• Beer and cider
  Fruit, spice, dessert and cocktail inspired flavors for seasonal releases and year round flagships. Citrus and tropical notes for IPAs, orchard fruit and spice for ciders and lagers, dessert and nutty profiles for stouts and ambers.

• Hard seltzers and FMBs
  Clean, bright profiles that read clearly in a light base. Citrus, berry, tropical, botanical and candy inspired flavors that can carry both classic and experimental lines.

• Spirit based RTDs
  Margarita, paloma, mule, mojito, spritz, colada and other cocktail profiles built for shelf stable single serve formats.

Because alcohol changes volatility and perception, each flavor system is tuned for the ABV range and base type it is meant to support.

Consistency, Compliance And Speed

Alcoholic beverage brands need reliable, repeatable flavor performance. Northwestern provides flavors designed for the processing methods and regulatory needs of beer, malt and spirit based products. Having a stable extract means fewer surprises when you move from pilot to production, and fewer headaches around label claims and approvals.

Plan Your Next Release With Purpose

Instead of building each seasonal from scratch, you can work from flavor families that span different styles and formats.
