The Boston Beer Co. introduces Slingers Signature Cocktail lineup
Brand takes a test-and-learn, limited-market approach to the new product innovation
Boston-based The Boston Beer Co., makers of Samuel Adams, Truly Hard Seltzer, Twisted Tea, Angry Orchard and Dogfish Head, announced the launch of Slingers Signature Cocktails, a malt-based lineup of full-flavor, 8% ABV cocktail-style drinks packaged in a 24-ounce can.
Debuting in three recognizable flavors — Bahama Mama, Peach Screwdriver and Pineapple Punch — Slingers is hitting shelves this month in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and select areas of New Hampshire, the company notes. With a superior taste, pricing that won’t break the bank and convenient single-serve formatting, Slingers was carefully crafted to capitalize on the triple-digit growth of the ready-to-drink (RTD) category and the growth of higher-ABV offerings, it says.
