San Diego is one of just two markets in the U.S. where Heineken USA is now selling its new IPA-style hard seltzer brand Bask.

The product, which is sold locally at Vons, Albertsons and other beverage-specific stores, is available in Original Hops, Blood Orange and Lemon flavors. It’s made from a blend of yeast, hop oil and citrus favors.

The only other market where Bask is available is the greater Boston area. Visit baskipaseltzer.com.
