Nation's #2 Cider Brand Continues with Hard Lemonade Seltzer Slated to Ship in March
NELLYSFORD, VA Feb. 25, 2021 Bold Rock's passion for innovation and its reputation for flavorful refreshment are fueling the launch of their most recent and exciting product release coming this Spring – Bold Rock Hard Lemonade Seltzer. Bold Rock will jump into the fast growing substyle of the explosive hard seltzer category. At the start of this year, the hard lemonade seltzer segment accounted for nearly 10% of the national seltzer volume, with no signs of slowing.1 Bold Rock's Hard Lemonade Seltzer is packed with crisp and tangy lemon taste, bold effervescence and perfectly balanced fruit infusions. This new line builds off the Bold Rock's successful 2020 launches of their Hard Lemonade and Hard Seltzer lines.
Bold Rock is among the first in craft to bring the widely loved fizzy flavors of lemonade seltzer to discerning drinkers who value quality ingredients and anytime refreshment. Since 2012, the Virginia and North Carolina-based craft brand has been in the business of helping people celebrate the everyday, and this year, the Bold Rock Hard Lemonade Seltzer Variety 12-Pack will present a new and enjoyable way to do just that.
Speaking to the inspiration behind Bold Rock's new Lemonade Seltzer, Artisanal Brewing Ventures' Chief Marketing Officer, Derek Detenber, explains "This segment really took off in 2020 with one national brand achieving substantial share of the category and now other big brands are entering and blazing the trail in terms of consumer education and awareness. But, we believe this segment is very aligned to the ethos of what Bold Rock stands for as a brand. It's a drink that exemplifies fun, being together, and sharing good times. Something we all need in 2021. Our fans know and love us for our commitment to refreshing, approachable, quality driven flavors and with this latest innovation, we invite Bold Rockers to once again Make the Bold Choice."
