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.
