NEW YORK, NY March 3, 2021 Stewart's Spiked Seltzer, a line of low-calorie hard seltzers developed and distributed by Stewarts Enterprises Inc (SEI), will launch February 2021 in the Northeast, followed by a national rollout. The sugar malt brew-based seltzer offering will include 3 traditional flavor profiles: Root Beer, Orange Cream, and Black Cherry, plus the new Raspberry Lime, with view to expand later in the year.
With hard seltzer enjoying a cultural moment as well as being one of the fastest growing beverage segments in the US, Stewart's Spiked pays homage to classic Americana by bringing nostalgia to a modern market. It is the all new American hard seltzer, rooted in good times and inspired by the iconic flavors that were first crafted almost a century ago.
Founded in 1924 in Mansfield, Ohio, and a childhood favorite of many, Stewart's has deep roots as a classic American brand. Frank Rubba, President of SEI said, "With nearly 100 years of heritage, Stewart's is a premium brand you know you can trust; with Stewart's Spiked Seltzer we are dedicated to the highest quality product and aligned with the brand's strong history. We are aiming to quickly become America's chosen hard seltzer!"
Commenting on Stewart's Spiked Seltzers' business expansion, bringing classic American flavors to a new generation, Peter Strahm, SEI's CEO said, "At the heart of Stewart's is the American dream – freedom, family, fun and opportunity. Our goal with Stewart's Spiked Seltzer is to bring back the 'good life' with a classic taste of Americana, made modern as a hard seltzer."
Each 12 oz slim can of Stewart's Spiked is 100 calories and contains 1g sugar and 1g carbs and 5% ABV. The line is gluten free, vegan and made with natural flavors.
