THC-infused drinks are everywhere now—seltzers, tonics, even canned cold brew. But what about beer? Can a true THC beer exist?
The short answer: The regulation says no.
Why Beer Can’t Contain THC
In the U.S., beer is regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). According to TTB policies, the inclusion of controlled substances, such as THC, in alcoholic beverages is prohibited. The TTB will not approve any formulas or labels for alcohol beverage products that contain a controlled substance under federal law. Since cannabis is still a controlled substance under federal law, the TTB prohibits mixing THC with any beverage classified as beer.
Even non-alcoholic (NA) beers fall under TTB jurisdiction because they are brewed like traditional beer before alcohol is removed. That means they also cannot legally contain THC. If a beverage is marketed as NA beer, it’s subject to the same restrictions.
So, while you might see THC seltzers or cannabis-infused tonics on the market, you won’t find a true “THC beer.” The moment a drink is legally considered beer, THC is off the table.
But wait...
For a drink to be considered beer under TTB regulations, it has to be made with traditional brewing grains—like barley or wheat.
But at Go Brewing, we offer a gluten-free beer that is brewed with alternative ingredients, which makes this brew outside of the scope of regulation of the TTB. When we saw an opportunity to craft something new—something that gave people a micro-dosed THC experience in a format they love—we took it.
That’s how Easy Man was born.
Easy Man is a micro-dosed THC + CBD beverage that tastes like beer. Crafted with a gluten-free base, it’s brewed to drink like a beer but exists in its own category.
So, do THC beers exist? Not in the way you think. But if you’re looking for a beer-like THC experience, we made it happen.
