This month, Primer Electrolyte Charged Hard Seltzers will become the first beverage brand to give drinkers of their products a choice when it comes to how much alcohol they want to consume with the introduction of the first ever multi-ABV variety pack.
After 10+ years helping to shape popular lifestyle beverage brands like White Claw and Pabst Blue Ribbon, co-founders Anthony Spina and Matt Sievers looked to redefine the drinking experience. The way we as a society are drinking is shifting and category lines between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are blurring. The duo, alongside a team of other prominent beverage industry veterans, have now unveiled Primer Electrolyte Charged Hard Seltzers, the first to feature a choice between three different ABV levels within one single package.
“One of the few lights during the pandemic was creating something for the future, knowing the present would soon pass into yesterday’s tomorrow. We spent countless nights dreaming about and preparing for this moment, to cheers the brand and officially make our dreams into a tangible reality. That moment has arrived” – Primer founders Anthony Spina and Matt Sievers
The modern beverage landscape shows that 58% of current consumers identify that they will switch between full strength and no/low ABV (alcohol by volume) drinks during the same occasion (IWSR, 04.2021) and 78% of non-alcoholic drinks buyers in the US are also purchasing alcoholic beer, wine or spirits (Nielsen IQ, 10, 2021). Mix in a pandemic society focused on reexamining its personal relationship with alcohol and you have a once-in-a-lifetime window of opportunity, based on both street-level insights and backed by data.
This April, Primer will make its eagerly anticipated debut throughout the Midwest, starting in Wisconsin and Illinois at trusted retailers like Woodmans, Total Wine, Berkot’s, GoPuff, and participating independent retailers. The inclusive seltzer will be sold in 3-ABV variety 9 packs of 12 oz sleek cans (3 at 0%, 3 at 5%, and 3 at 8%) each with 2g of sugar and carbs per serving, between 20 and 180 calories, and all gluten free. Investors looking to join the brand’s next round of growth can do so through WeFunder.
The Primer drinking experience is fully customizable, giving drinkers the chance to mix and match their own choices. With a liquid built by local Brew Master (former brew master, City Brewery) Randy Hughes, Primer is available in two flavors (Black Cherry and Mango). Every Primer beverage is also infused with electrolytes. These electrolytes are designed to deliver a base coat of hydration.
