Yakima Chief Hops and SōRSE Technology debuts water soluble CBD distillate for beverages

SōRSE Technology and Yakima Chief Hops announced today its newest product offering for brewers, Water-Soluble CBD Distillate. Operating for more than 20 years, Yakima Chief Hemp growers cultivate their hemp with the same quality best practices and consistency as their hops, due in part to the similarities between hops and hemp plants. the hemp is processed using YCH’s extract facility under the same internationally recognized quality standards as their hop products. Using its patent-pending technology, SōRSE Technology has converted the distillate into a water-soluble 3% emulsion for seamless integration into functional beverages for the growing Beyond Beer sector.

Yakima Chief Hemp’s Water-Soluble CBD Distillate is classified as broad spectrum and contains an array of minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and essential oils, which contributes to the product’s superior flavor profile. The new product offering allows brewers to expand their product line with CBD-enhanced beverages utilizing a one-step, “drop and go” solution directly into the brewing process. The CBD solution offers accurate dosing, a refreshing and enjoyable taste and is available at scale. Water-Soluble CBD Distillate is available for product evaluation and purchase through Yakima Chief Hemp.
