Superior in Taste, VIVE’s New Pumpkin Spice-Flavored Seltzer Hits Store Aisles in September
With Plans to Win the “Season of Pumpkin”
COVINGTON, KY (August 13, 2020) – VIVE Hard Seltzer, a widely-recognized regional velocity power player, has once again challenged the category by crafting a seasonal product to meet the need for something unique: Pumpkin Spice Hard Seltzer. To celebrate Fall and tying into America’s love affair with pumpkin spice, VIVE will bring to retail shelves a refreshing experience that is distinctly seasonal, beginning September 2020. Fans can try the new favorite on shelf at Kroger stores throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee at an SRP of $9.99 per six pack.
Looking at the category, VIVE found an opportunity to play on the seasonal success of consumer tastes in other alcoholic beverages. With the launch of Pumpkin Spice Hard Seltzer, VIVE has created a distinctly refreshing version of a highly anticipated flavor profile. Pairing the success of VIVE’s base along with the creativity to deliver an aroma and taste known to the pumpkin spice lover, this product is sure to raise eyebrows and the taste will keep customers coming back for more.
“The thing that makes VIVE so refreshingly different is in its flavor profile, overall. When my brother (Evan Rouse, Chief Innovation Officer) had me try his take on Pumpkin Spice Hard Seltzer, I knew it had to exist in the world,” shares Jake Rouse, Co-Founder and CEO at Braxton Brewing Company. “There are few other products where a flavor profile and a customer base align so directly, that we wanted to be sure that we nailed the flavor. VIVE Pumpkin Spice is likely going to be laughed at initially, but when you try it, you’ll quickly understand why we’re thrilled to launch!”
Braxton Brewing Co., the maker of VIVE, was recently identified as an Inc. 5000 fastest growing private company based on its unprecedented three year growth. Meanwhile, VIVE was also recently marked as the hard seltzer generating highest velocity among non-national competitive counterparts in the Midwest. Armed with this knowledge, the brand has continued to compete at the national level, with hard seltzer brands with deeper pockets, broader resources and more consumer recognition.
