What is hemp Beer?

Hemp beer brands incorporate many parts of the hemp plant, including hemp seeds, hemp hearts, hemp leaves or infusion with hemp oil. These hemp components include terpenes that enhance the flavor of beer and give it a dank aroma. 

Hemp beer that doesn’t contain THC won’t get you high. Also, there’s no notable interaction between alcohol and CBD, except that you may get tired a little faster. Below are our favorites on the market right now!
