Bold Rock continues to expand reach into adjacent craft beverage segments with the announcement of new Hard Tea and Hard Lemonade lines, not too long after they released their Bold Fashioned. Both of these new innovations are crafted from all-natural ingredients and sweetened for refreshment.
Bold Rock’s initial Hard Tea offerings include two styles – Original with a Twist of Lemon and Half & Half, a tasty blend of tea and lemonade – both around 5% ABV. They will launch in late-July 2020 in 12-pack 12oz cans with a 19.2oz single-serve format arriving in late-August.
Bold Rock’s Hard Lemonade will also launch in late July with their classic Hard Lemonade. This new hard lemonade style features down home refreshment paired with a tart lemonade taste at 5% ABV. The line will grow in late-August with BOLDER Hard Lemonade, a 16oz single-serve at 8% ABV that features all the refreshment of classic lemonade with an extra “jolt” of flavor.
Master Cider Maker and Co-Founder Brian Shanks said, “craft beverage is ever-evolving and Bold Rock’s mission is to remain at the forefront of not just our core cider business, but to diversify and innovate within a wide spectrum of adjacent craft beverage segments. Our Hard Tea and Hard Lemonade offerings will please both longtime Bold Rockers and those new to our brand with incredible taste and quality that is very complementary to our cider, seltzer and canned cocktail programs.”
Bold Rock Hard Tea and Hard Lemonade will become available throughout the Southeast with distribution slated for their 11 territory footprint which includes Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, etc.
