Production & Heritage

The Brewing Projekt is an independent craft brewery based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, known for pushing boundaries across beer, sour ale, and hard seltzer categories. Bomb MPG is part of the brewery's Bomb hard seltzer line, produced as a gluten-free beverage fermented to reach 6% ABV — a full percentage point or more above many mainstream hard seltzers that typically land between 4% and 5%. The brewery has stated that the higher ABV was a deliberate choice, designed to deliver more impact with fewer cans, while the tropical fruit blend keeps the drinking experience bright and sessionable.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe mango leads on the nose, followed by the tart, floral sweetness of passion fruit and a soft guava undertone. The overall impression is distinctly tropical without any artificial or cloying quality.

Taste: The entry is light and effervescent, with juicy mango arriving first on the palate. Mid-palate, tangy passion fruit adds acidity and complexity, while guava rounds out the flavor with a subtly creamy, exotic sweetness. The 6% ABV is well-integrated and does not create any harsh alcohol heat.

Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering tropical fruit that fades quickly. The carbonation lifts the finish, leaving the palate crisp and ready for the next sip.

How to Drink Bomb MPG

Bomb MPG drinks best ice-cold, straight from the can or poured over ice in a tall glass. Its tropical profile and built-in carbonation also make it a versatile mixer.

• Seltzer Paloma: Combine with a splash of fresh grapefruit juice and a salted rim — the guava and passion fruit amplify the citrus backbone.
• Tropical Spritz: Pour over ice with a float of prosecco and a lime wheel for a low-effort warm-weather cocktail.
• Mango Mule: Mix with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime — the mango in Bomb MPG adds depth that plain seltzers lack.

Best For

• Beach or poolside drinking sessions that call for higher-ABV refreshment
• Introducing craft seltzer fans to a Wisconsin-brewed independent alternative
• Stocking a cooler for game day with a tropical, easy-drinking option

Why Bomb MPG?

The hard seltzer category is crowded with interchangeable products from multinational conglomerates, and Bomb MPG exists as a direct counter to that homogeneity. Its 6% ABV gives it a functional edge — fewer cans to achieve the same effect — while the three-fruit tropical blend of mango, passion fruit, and guava creates a more complex flavor than single-note competitors. The fact that it comes from The Brewing Projekt, a genuinely independent Wisconsin craft brewery, adds provenance that mass-market brands cannot replicate. For anyone who has outgrown the big-box seltzer aisle and wants something with more personality, Bomb MPG delivers without pretension.
