The race for the next big thing in 'malternative' beverages has come to a head, and the winner is -- a 3SUM.

3SUM, the first alcoholic beverage alcoholic beverage

Any fermented liquor, such as wine, beer, or distilled liquor, that contains ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, as an intoxicating agent. When an alcoholic beverage is ingested, the alcohol is rapidly absorbed in the stomach and intestines because it does not
 of its kind, was brewed by southern-California based United Brands Company. As its name suggests, 3SUM mingles a trio of elements - triple-filtered malt, fresh flavors and a "brewing bonus." That "bonus" is a caffeine zing braced with ginseng ginseng (jĭn`sĕng), common name for the Araliaceae, a family of tropical herbs, shrubs, and trees that are often prickly and sometimes grow as climbing forms.  and taurine taurine /tau·rine/ (taw´ren) an oxidized sulfur-containing amine occurring conjugated in the bile, usually as cholyltaurine or chenodeoxycholyltaurine; it may also be a central nervous system neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. . The resulting crisp, clean adult drink is available in four varieties: the Original, a mixed berry flavor, Apple, with a tart green apple tang, smooth-tasting pink Watermelon watermelon, plant (Citrullus vulgaris) of the family Curcurbitaceae (gourd family) native to Africa and introduced to America by Africans transported as slaves. Watermelons are now extensively cultivated in the United States and are popular also in S Russia.  and Tropical, a blend of exotic fruits.

The new brand marks a creative first in the brewing industry - infusing beer with caffeine, ginseng and taurine, and offering the beverage in a variety of flavors.

 something exciting and different in beer," said 'Malt Master' Michael Michail, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

With 3SUM, we have created a super premium alcoholic beverage with the flavors and colors of fresh-picked fruit. The product delivers the 'zing factor' by adding caffeine, ginseng and taurine."

In addition to appealing to hip, young trendsetters with its great new taste, 3SUM offers unique packaging, too - Talisman imagery on slim 8.3-ounce cans. The vibrant colors of the cans echo the colors of the four different flavors of 3SUM.

It took nine months to "birth" the new concept, says Michail. 3SUM went from the groundbreaking initial concept to final government approvals this past summer. The first can rolled off the production line two months ago, and 3SUM is being brewed fresh and distributed nationally in selected markets.

Vice President of Sales Terry Kester plans to have 3SUM launched in 20 states before the end of this year. "We are currently building our distribution network," said Kester. Distributors and wholesalers interested in being the first to offer 3SUM to their customers should contact Kester at (866) 891-3SUM.

For Michail, 3SUM is more than just a revolutionary new concept in beers. Because it is packaged in 8.3-ounce cans, it is also a way to enjoy a sophisticated new alcoholic beverage - responsibly.

"We made the decision to go with smaller cans to help consumers monitor their consumption," Michail said. "With 3SUM, people can have the enjoyment of a unique alcoholic beverage with zing while they are socializing, and not over-do it.

We make it easy to be smart. Having a 3SUM can be the most appropriate choice!"
