Caloosahatchee Beverage Company - FAQ

Hemp beer has sparked plenty of curiosity among craft beer fans, especially those who want something different from the usual IPA, lager, or wheat beer. If you have wondered what hemp beer is, whether hemp beer gets you high, or whether hemp beer is legal, this FAQ breaks down the basics in a clear, simple way. Caloosahatchee Beverage Company’s lineup, including Caloosa Kush Hazy Hemp IPA, Myakka Gold, and Hialeah Heaven, brings a refreshing local craft-beer experience to adults 21 and older, with flavor profiles inspired by the region’s easygoing spirit.

What Is Hemp Beer?

Hemp beer is a craft beer that uses approved hemp ingredients or hemp-inspired elements to create a distinct drinking experience. Across our distribution, including Caloosa Kush, Myakka Gold, and Hialeah Heaven, the goal is flavor, aroma, and refreshment, not a cannabis style effect.

This beer reflects the local lifestyle with a bright, relaxed character made for warm weather, good company, and laid-back moments. It is a different take on craft beer for drinkers who enjoy exploring new styles while still wanting something smooth, balanced, and easy to enjoy.

Does Hemp Beer Get You High?

No. Our featured beers (Caloosa Kush Hazy Hemp IPA, Myakka Gold, and Hialeah Heaven) are not designed to get you high. They are alcoholic craft beers, not THC or CBD products.

The experience is centered on the taste of the beer itself. Think smooth body, hazy IPA character, refreshing hop notes, and a distinct finish that feels connected to the region’s natural energy. Like any alcoholic beverage, it should be enjoyed responsibly and only by adults 21 and older.

Is Hemp Beer Legal?

Hemp beer is a highly regulated category, especially when hemp ingredients are used in an alcoholic beverage. That means approval, formulation, and labeling all matter.

Caloosa Kush, Myakka Gold, and Hialeah Heaven were developed with careful attention to federal and state requirements, offering craft beer drinkers unique options that comply with all applicable approval processes. Because alcohol laws and retail availability can vary by location, the easiest way to find Caloosahatchee Beverage Company products near you is to check the current Store Locator.
