The category White Claw created needed someone to do it right. That's Zeroes.
White Claw Invented the Category. Zeroes Built What It Should Have Been.
We're going to say something most brands won't: White Claw
deserves credit. It took a market that didn't exist and made it mainstream.
That's real.
But here's what it got wrong: it's malt liquor. It's owned
by a Canadian multinational corporation. It contains artificial flavors. And
for all its clean branding, it wasn't built around what's actually in the can —
it was built around what could be made cheaply at scale.
Zeroes was built by Cliff White and Rob Cooch — veterans who
applied military-grade standards to what should go in a premium canned
cocktail. Ultra premium vodka. Zero sugar. Zero artificial additives. American
made from the ground up.
READ THE LABEL. THEN READ THEIRS.
Most White Claw drinkers have never read the label. Here'swhat's worth knowing.
- Ultra premium vodka
- Carbonated water
- Natural flavors
* Zeroes uses ultra premium vodka because that's what a premium product demands.
- Carbonated water
- Alcohol (from cold-brewed sugar),
- Natural flavors
- Citric acid
- Sodium citrate
* White Claw's 'alcohol' comes from fermented sugar — cold-brewed, malt-style production. It is not distilled. It is not vodka.
Zeroes vs Happy Dad — Common Questions
White Claw created a category. We respect that.
But 'first' and 'best' aren't the same thing. If you want zero sugar, no
artificial additives, a real vodka base, and a brand built by American veterans
— Zeroes is the upgrade. White Claw is malt liquor in a seltzer can. Zeroes is what
the category should have been from the start
No. White Claw is a malt liquor-based hard
seltzer. It is not vodka. Despite being positioned as a clean, premium option,
the base spirit is malt — the same category as beer. Zeroes is built on ultra
premium vodka. That's a fundamental difference in what you're drinking.
Yes. Zeroes is 90 calories per can. White Claw
is 100. But more importantly, Zeroes has 0g of sugar and 0g of carbs. White
Claw contains 2g sugar and 2g carbs per can. For people tracking macros, that
adds up fast.
Zeroes is made in the USA — Savannah, GA — by a
veteran-owned company. White Claw is owned by Mark Anthony Brands, a Canadian multinational
corporation. If buying American and supporting veteran-owned businesses matters
to you, the choice is clear.
Yes. Zeroes ships directly to eligible states at drinkzeroes.com.
