Bud Light Seltzer is in the works amid hard seltzer sales craze

Citing sources from the brewer’s distributor meeting this week, Beer Business Daily reported that the brewer was developing a seltzer line extension for its biggest brand as well as Bud Light Lemonade and Bud Light Crisp, which it described as a slightly lower-calorie version of Bud Light designed to take on Miller Lite.

The brewer already markets two seltzers, Bon & Viv and the recently released Natty Light Seltzer, but it remains far behind the two leaders in the sizzling hot alcoholic seltzer segment, White Claw, which is from Mark Anthony Brands; and Truly, by Sam Adams-maker Boston Beer Co. Anheuser-Busch InBev only has about 7 percent share of the hard seltzer market year-to-date, according to Beer Marketer’s Insights, which also reported on the Bud Light Seltzer news, saying that the brewer showed its distributors a picture of a black cherry-flavored Bud Light Seltzer. A spokesman for the brewer told Ad Age that “we have the industry's leading portfolio because we are never satisfied.  We regularly share conceptual ideas with our wholesaler partners as we develop new ways to meet consumer needs. Details on new product launches will be shared in due course.” The brewer’s Bud Light... Continue reading at 'Advertising Age'
