Introduction
White Claw Variety Pack #3 represents the hard seltzer that launched an industry. When White Claw emerged, it offered something genuinely new: alcoholic refreshment without the calories of beer, the sugar of wine coolers, or the mixing required for cocktails. What started as a niche product became a cultural phenomenon that fundamentally changed how people think about casual drinking.
This 24-pack delivers four of White Claw's most popular flavors—Mango, Strawberry, Pineapple, and Blackberry—providing variety for parties, personal preference exploration, or simply avoiding flavor fatigue. At 100 calories and 2g carbs per can with a clean, gluten-free alcohol base, White Claw fits modern drinking occasions where lightness and refreshment matter more than complexity.
The White Claw Story
- Mark Anthony Brands: White Claw is produced by Mark Anthony Brands, the same company behind Mike's Hard Lemonade. The company identified a gap in the market for lower-calorie, cleaner-tasting alcoholic beverages.
- 2016 Launch: White Claw entered the market in 2016 and spent its early years building a following among health-conscious drinkers and those seeking alternatives to beer.
- 2019 Explosion: The "Summer of White Claw" in 2019 saw the brand explode into mainstream consciousness, creating product shortages and inspiring countless memes and cultural moments.
- Category Creator: While not technically the first hard seltzer, White Claw's success essentially created the category as a mainstream option, inspiring dozens of competitors from major beer companies.
- Sustained Leadership: Despite intense competition, White Claw maintains category leadership through consistent quality and continued flavor innovation.
What is Hard Seltzer
Understanding White Claw requires understanding its category:
- Base Alcohol: Hard seltzer uses a neutral alcohol base—typically made from fermented sugar rather than grains. This creates a clean canvas for flavoring without malt or wine characteristics.
- Carbonation: Like regular seltzer water, hard seltzer is highly carbonated, providing the crisp, refreshing mouthfeel that defines the category.
- Fruit Flavoring: Natural fruit flavors are added to create the taste profile. The flavoring is subtle—these aren't sweet, syrupy drinks but rather lightly flavored sparkling water with alcohol.
- Low Everything: The category's appeal centers on low calories, low carbs, and low sugar compared to beer, wine, and cocktails.
- Gluten-Free: Because the alcohol comes from sugar rather than grain, most hard seltzers (including White Claw) are naturally gluten-free.
Variety Pack #3 Flavors
Variety Pack #3 includes six cans each of four flavors:
- Mango: The most popular White Claw flavor. Ripe, tropical mango with a subtle sweetness. The flagship flavor that many associate most strongly with the brand.
- Strawberry: Fresh strawberry character—think strawberry water rather than strawberry candy. Light and refreshing with natural berry notes.
- Pineapple: Tropical pineapple flavor with a tart edge. Bright and summery, excellent for warm weather drinking.
- Blackberry: Deeper, more complex berry flavor than strawberry. Slightly more sophisticated with both sweet and tart notes.
Nutritional Profile
- Calories: 100 per 12oz can—significantly less than most beers (150+) and far less than cocktails or wine.
- Carbohydrates: 2g per can—minimal compared to beer (10-15g) or sweeter alcoholic beverages.
- Sugar: 2g per can—the fruit flavor comes from natural flavoring rather than added sugar.
- ABV: 5%—standard beer strength, providing meaningful alcohol without being overwhelming.
- Gluten-Free: Made from a gluten-free alcohol base, suitable for those avoiding gluten.
Serving Suggestions
- Ice Cold: Serve White Claw as cold as possible—ideally 32-38°F. The colder the better for maximum refreshment.
- Straight from Can: The slim can design is meant for direct drinking. The narrow opening concentrates the subtle aromas.
- Over Ice: Pour over ice in a tall glass for a more cocktail-like presentation. Garnish with fresh fruit matching the flavor.
- Cocktail Mixer: Use as a low-calorie cocktail base. Vodka with Mango White Claw creates an easy tropical drink.
- Frozen: Freeze partially for a slushy texture on hot days.
Food Pairings
- Light Fare: White Claw's lightness pairs well with salads, grilled chicken, and lighter appetizers. It won't overwhelm delicate flavors.
- Seafood: The clean, refreshing character complements shrimp, fish tacos, ceviche, and sushi.
- Fresh Fruit: Match flavors—Mango with tropical fruit, Strawberry with berries, etc.
- Spicy Food: The carbonation and low sugar help cool down heat from spicy dishes.
- Party Snacks: Chips, veggie trays, cheese boards—casual party food pairs naturally.
Perfect Occasions
- Pool Parties: The defining White Claw moment. Light, refreshing, no glass, easy cleanup.
- Beach Days: Compact cans pack easily and the refreshing taste fights heat.
- Barbecues: Offers an alternative to beer for guests wanting something lighter.
- Casual Hangouts: Low-commitment drinking for relaxed social occasions.
- Fitness-Conscious Occasions: When you want to drink but don't want the calorie load of beer or cocktails.

- vs. Bud Light Seltzer: Beer company competitor. Slightly different flavor profile; White Claw generally considered the category standard.
- vs. Wine: Much lower alcohol, lower calorie, completely different flavor profile. White Claw is refreshment; wine is complexity.
