Today’s contemporary adult consumers, 21 and older, are looking for innovative alcohol beverages to match their active lifestyles, and SPYKES responds to that customer demand. Frankly, we’re perplexed at this criticism, yet we know there are perennial, fear-mongering anti-alcohol groups whose members are in the business of spreading misinformation.
SPYKES is neither a high-alcohol content drink, nor an energy drink. SPYKES is simply a malt beverage with 12 percent alcohol by volume sold in 2-oz single servings. In fact, the amount of alcohol in a SPYKES bottle is equivalent to one-third of a glass of wine. And the amount of caffeine in a 2-ounce serving of SPYKES is equal to 1-ounce of dark chocolate.
