When the world’s top endurance athletes gathered in Cascais for IRONMAN  Portugal 2025, the atmosphere was electric with determination, excitement, and celebration. Amidst the energy of one of Europe’s most scenic race venues, Perfect Peaks Hop Water proudly joined as a local hydration partner, offering athletes a refreshingly different way to rehydrate and celebrate their achievement.

 Through Training to Competition to Everyday Hydration — The Perfect Partnership

Cascais has long been associated with action  and endurance sports, wellness, and outdoor living — values that perfectly align with the Perfect Peaks philosophy: Clean • Calm • Hydration.

During IRONMAN Portugal, our chilled cans were available in the recovery tent, providing athletes a natural, sugar-free, alcohol-free alternative to traditional post-race drinks. Beyond refreshment, it introduced a new category of hydration designed for a population living at the intersection of personal performance, personal values and health.

“It was amazing to see how quickly athletes connected with the concept,” says Sean Wootton, founder of Perfect Peaks Hop Water. “They loved the flavour and the idea that hops — the original botanical of beer — could be reimagined as a functional wellness drink.”
