In the News: White Claw Bucks Beverage Trend From Lipton and Simply to soda brands like Fresca, Coca-Cola, and Mountain Dew, traditionally non-alcoholic beverage brands have burst onto the scene of what was previously simply the beer aisle. In fact, the “beer aisle” has rapidly diversified in recent years, now featuring dozens of brands of alcohol-containing seltzer, cider, tea, lemonade, and canned cocktails, many coming from big-name food and beverage manufacturers trying to grab a bit of this RTD category. White Claw is swimming against the current, perhaps becoming the first hard seltzer line to introduce a 0% ABV seltzer to the refrigerated alcohol aisle.* They’ve also responded to consumer interest by adding electrolytes to the NA seltzers, a functional ingredient favored by 72% of those surveyed by HealthFocus International. Their target market of younger consumers is indeed the most likely to consider social connections while choosing foods and beverages. *FoodDive. “Behind White Claw’s big non-alcoholic seltzer bet.” Published February 6, 2024.

#non-alcoholic #beverages #valiantglass Non-alcoholic beverages will feature mood-boosting ingredients The alcohol-free trend initially focused on creating sober beer options, but interest in alcohol-free beverages has grown over the past few years. The growing interest in beer has prompted manufacturers to step up product development efforts to include a wider range of alcohol-free options in addition to beer analogs, while also offering complex flavor profiles and sensory experiences that accurately mimic traditional alcoholic beverages. For example, some recent non-alcoholic product launches include a variety of mocktails and White Claw’s 0% alcohol soda, both of which were launched to meet the changing needs of consumers. “With demand for great-tasting, alcohol-free beverages on the rise, the industry is ripe for disruption, but current options such as overly sweet mocktails, light beer drinks, and more are out of touch with the needs of today’s adult drinkers,” the experts said. Some companies are already seeking the next advancement in alcohol-free innovation and turning to infusing their products with functional benefits. Experts have noticed that consumers are seeking out adult beverages that provide a "non-high." "People want something that they can consume in a social setting, in a bar, in a restaurant, or in a family setting that is not just a sweet drink but gives them a high feeling. I think the trend right now is more about effects and less about flavor, whereas I think in the last four or five years, the focus has been on flavor." Plz contact me if you want to know more.

There is a significant move away from alcoholic beverages. According to a report from Innova Market Insights, different generations consume different beverages. Gen Z and Millennials prefer soft drinks, energy drinks, iced coffee, and tea. Older generations like Gen X and Boomers tend to drink alcohol, hot drinks, and traditional soft drinks. 44% of consumers purchase alcoholic beverages, but the non-alcoholic market includes 24% of consumers who bought non-alcoholic beverages last year. This market is expanding faster than any other in the food and beverage industry. What's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? #NABeverages #MarketTrends #HealthyChoices #ConsumerBehavior #BeverageIndustry

Alcohol’s growth increasingly comes from new wave drinks built for category-agnostic drinkers. There will always be pockets of growth within the three traditional alcohol segments of beer, wine, and spirits, but the strength of a growing fourth category now has a “gravitational pull” with consumers. By the end of 2027, Beverage Marketing Corporation estimates that almost $1 of every $5 spent on alcohol will come from “Alternative Adult Beverages”—a catchall term that includes FMBs, hard cider, RTD cocktails, canned wine, and cannabis beverages. This is in addition to the collection of brands that may be made with a traditional base fermentable but taste like something entirely different. This is not a random occurrence. Young consumers have the most diverse range of drink options in the history of beverage! And when you can hunt for a flavor experience that fits your unique preferences, it makes sense today's drinker would feel enticed by categories and brands that focus on what people care about most: what something tastes like and how it makes them feel.

Rather than categorizing adult beverages based solely on a single ingredient, it is essential to appreciate their complexity, craftsmanship, and the diverse experiences they offer. From now on, you'll see me using 'adult beverages' in place of 'alcoholic beverages' - it's time for a change. #favoritebeverage #adultbeverages #timeforchange #wineindustry #beerindustry #spiritsindustry

Interesting to see continued coverage around the negative impacts of alcoholic beverages, even at minimal levels of consumption, this time via CNN. We believe that the future is all about optionality – whether you wish to refrain from drinking altogether or incorporate delicious alternative beverage options into your wider consumption habits. We are excited to offer consumers a newer-to-market beverage that provides the same notable sense of enjoyment and relaxation without the hangover and additional negative downsides associated with drinking traditional alcohol. https://lnkd.in/gcJ3dxc8
