Following the growing consumer demand for low-alcohol and no-alcohol, Bold Rock team spent months innovating to develop a non-alcoholic option for their consumers. The 0.0% ABV cider is apple-forward and lightly effervescent, paying homage to Bold Rock’s flagship Hard Apple Cider, the #2 national cider brand 2 . It delivers the refreshingly crisp taste Bold Rock consumers have enjoyed since 2012, minus the alcohol. Crafted for consumers looking for a non-alcoholic option without compromising the full flavor during Dry January and beyond, it is now available as 6-pack of 12 oz. cans at select retailers and in Bold Rock taprooms.
“We are always thrilled to bring innovation to our Bold Rock family. Launching a non-alcoholic version of our flagship Apple is a natural extension to build on proven flavor and our heritage. We want to offer our consumers options, whatever the occasion, while still delivering the flavorful taste they have come to love over the years”, Courtnie Harrell, the VP of Marketing at Bold Rock, adds.
“During the development process we opted for the non-fermented route to deliver a true 0.0% ABV beverage. While dealcolization of fermented cider can be a reliable method of reducing ABV below 0.5%, other compounds that contribute to aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel, are also reduced. We found that we can achieve a brighter and more refreshing product without fermenting and dealcolizing”, Ian Niblock, the Director of Cider Making at Bold Rock, explains.
