Hard Seltzers

Bud Light and Mike's

Hard Seltzer Opportunity

  • Hard seltzer is simply alcoholic sparkling water with low alcohol and low calories. It’s the fastest growing category in the US, growing 8 times between 2018 and 2020.
  • We expect a similar trend in the UK: by 2023 hard seltzers will equal the size of RTD category at 167KHL. UK consumers are already demanding hard seltzers. Category penetration is at 4%, higher than some leading RTD and craft beer brands.
  • Hard seltzers are an opportunity in the on trade because they attract a more affluent consumer (£99.25 avg monthly spend on eating/drinking out vs. £82.81 avg GB) who is willing to pay more for a better quality product.
  • Mike’s Hard Seltzer launched in 2019 with great results. At the end of 2020, Mike’s had #1 penetration and repeat rate, #3 market share and won a Great Taste Award.1
