In case you haven’t heard of Sauna Water, here’s everything you need to know. The idea was conceived over a year ago, when our interest in craft brewing aligned with our own sauna practice. Cedar + Stone Nordic Sauna is a movement we’ve been following for years, so we reached out. From that first meeting to everything you’ll sip on today, this partnership has taught us what it means to be more than a brewery that just makes beer.
THE HEALTH BENEFITS FROM SAUNA ARE REAL
Another motivation that’s surfaced since creating Sauna Water, is giving consumers space to be more mindful about their health and wellness, while still enjoying something that's been thoughtfully crafted. Our hope is to inspire more people to take that space, and maybe even try sauna for the first time.
"Many people need alcohol to be a social lubricant, helping them feel comfortable in social settings. One of the beauties of sauna is that it is not only a physical health benefit but it also provides a low-stress and easy social environment to connect with other people."
- Justin Juntunen, Why Sauna and Dry January *Just Make Sense*, Cedar and Stone
HOW WE MAKE SAUNA WATER
Sauna Water as a beverage, is brewed with a lot of ingredients you aren’t seeing regularly in consumer products, including foraged spruce tips, cardamom, juniper, all spice, and lemon peel. The sparkling nature of this product gives it a zip, boasting big citrus flavors, and all kinds of botanical aromatics to wake you up. There are a number of health benefits from Sauna Water also, including vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants, and anti-inflammation.
“For me, it’s simple: Portage’s Sauna Water surprised me. It’s not like anything I’ve had before.” - Nissa Mitchell, Racket
