The Original Inspiration for Truly Hard Seltzer Serves as Brand's Latest Innovation

Credited with developing the industry's original hard seltzer, Truly, Boston Beer Company Director of Product Development Casey O'Neill describes the latest evolution of this refreshing, convenient and fun alternative to light beer as a no-brainer. "You could say the traditional vodka seltzer was my inspiration for Truly Hard Seltzer from day one for its refreshing taste and endless possibilities," said O'Neill. "Our team has spent countless months testing thousands of drinkers on hundreds of recipes and flavor combinations to get the latest and greatest extension of Truly just right. A spirits-based seltzer that's crisp, clean and flavorful had been my north star for Truly innovation, but it's safe to say we're just getting started."

"A trailblazer and tastemaker since coming onto the scene over five years ago, Truly is constantly innovating and challenging what drinkers expect from hard seltzer," said Matt Withington, Director of Marketing, Truly Hard Seltzer. "We've earned our role as the ultimate beyond beer destination and are ready to elevate the canned cocktail space with our first spirits-based seltzer. We're giving discerning drinkers a reason to trade up their vodka seltzer with a brand they know and love, Truly, plus six-times-distilled vodka and real fruit juice for a 'truly' unique drinking experience."

Driving Awareness and Trial with Catchy Campaign and Digital Promotion

To launch its new Truly Vodka Seltzer, Truly will kick off a 360-degree integrated campaign, "There's Vodka in This!," this fall to drive awareness of the spirits-based offering supported largely via social and digital, and e-commerce in addition to retail and point-of-sale to drive trial. Additionally, Truly will target millennial drinkers by offering a "premium discount" for those enjoying their "premium years" through a promotion that plays on Truly's version of old and new: nostalgia and innovation.
