- Monster's newest beverage isn't an energy drink, but a hard seltzer.
- The Beast Unleashed contains 6% alcohol by volume and flavors inspired by its energy drinks.
- Big beverage makers like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have added alcoholic options in recent years.
Monster's newest beverages taste a lot like some of the brand's energy drinks — with one big difference.
The company spent the early weeks of 2023 rolling out a line of alcoholic beverages. Called The Beast Unleashed, the drinks are made with malt alcohol and contain 6% alcohol by volume, though no caffeine or energy-inducing ingredients. The flavors, including Peach Perfect and Scary Berries, are modeled on those Monster already uses for its energy drinks.
