NFL Stadiums Score Hard Seltzer Tall Boys for Thirsty Football Fans

Since the first real push for hard seltzer last summer, the category has continued to grow. New flavors and brands are slowly making their way onto the playing field as health-conscious drinkers (or those looking to find a way to spike their cocktails with more booze) explore this fairly new class of beverages. In an attempt to take it a step further, Spiked Seltzer has recently introduced 16-ounce cans in select NFL stadiums around the country.

Currently the only hard seltzer company to come in a tall boy, Spiked Seltzer’s 6 percent ABV concoctions are set to corner(back) the market on highly-chuggable beer alternatives.

The products themselves (if you’ve somehow avoided drinking what’s been everywhere in the past year) are pretty damn refreshing. Not only are hard seltzers lower in sugar than beer, but they are also lower in carbs — and, compared to most domestics, they’re higher in ABV.

While not all of the NFL stadiums are on board, the company hopes to expand league-wide eventually. At the moment, you’ll be able to find the both Indian River Grapefruit and West Indies Lime flavors at the homes of the Chiefs, Redskins, Broncos, Panthers, Titans, Eagles, Browns, Bengals, and Falcons. You can also find the lime at CenturyLink Field, where the Seahawks play; in the suites and clubs at Gillette Stadium, headquarters of the Patriots; and in the standard 12-ounce slim cans at Metlife Stadium for all you Giants and Jets fans out there.

Not a football diehard, but love America’s sport (and already looking forward to next season, even if you’re team is already out)? You can find Spiked Seltzer at the homes of the Phillies, Nationals, and Orioles.

What does it for us is the fact that the stuff goes down easy — especially if you’re as obsessed with seltzers such as La Croix as we are — and you’ll get drunk faster than you would on a standard domestic. It’s a win-win that’s bolstered by the low calorie count which, when you think about it, means you can drink more over the course of a day. Also a win.

What Athletes Drink When They Are Crowned Champions

You know the routine: A pro sports team wins the title and suddenly the locker room is full of Champagne spray and players in goggles. Ever wonder what they’re drinking?
Across the wide spectrum of sports, from cycling to soccer, there’s usually some kind of booze to be enjoyed when an epic victory or championship is secured. With big sponsors lurking, it’s easier at some times than others to decipher what athletes are triumphantly throwing back. Sometimes it’s on camera, many times it’s not. Regardless, the best and winningest pros seems to agree that some celebratory imbibing of some kind is usually in order.

We Drank an Entire Can of Four Loko Hard Seltzer So You Don’t Have To

There’s no doubt that hard seltzer is literally everywhere these days. You can look at the statistics showing the category’s meteoric rise over the last few years or you can just go to pretty much any bar anywhere. Most bars, if they want to make money, will have any one of the following: hard seltzer on tap (not common, but it’s out there), hard seltzer made by a local craft brewery (because of course craft breweries are getting in on it), or, the most likely option: A cooler full of the Claw (or one of the other major brands). Usually, though, it’s the Claw. This is a fact just as much as the Kansas City Chiefs – who are from Missouri – just won the Super Bowl.

That said, just because a company can make a hard seltzer does not mean it should. That’s where a brand like Four Loko comes in. Yes, that Four Loko. The one that got you incomprehensibly drunk in college. If you’re of a certain age, it also filled you with a caffeinated rage that may have caused you to punch holes in walls, break dorm furniture, or go on a rampage calling yourself Godzilla through your campus’s central quad.

How One Cidermaker Is Innovating to Stay Competitive in the Hard Seltzer Era
Portland Cider Company Sorta Sweet

Seems like cider can’t catch a break. First, it went up against wine and beer, competing for aisle attention with a fraction of the marketing muscle and media coverage. Then came White Claw and a tsunami of hard seltzer and mixers. And this to say nothing of the lower-alcohol and zero-proof trend, another potential nuisance if you’re trying to sling hard apple juice.
Portland Cider Company has been at it since 2013. That’s not a long time, but in the trend-heavy drinks realm, it’s a healthy stretch. The English-inspired cider house continues to push forward, but not without what seems like more and more effort. Cofounder Jeff Parrish says it’s all about innovation and making the best product you can. The latter, to a certain extent, comes with the territory. Based in the Pacific Northwest, where cider consumption is well above the national average, there’s both access to great local apples and a relatively savvy customer base.

“Our customer base knows what craft is and wants to drink craft,” Parrish says. That doesn’t necessarily equate to barrel-aged heirloom blends bottled in wax-dipped bottles. Portland Cider Company’s number one seller is its Kinda Dry Cider, made in the mold of a traditional British cider — light, refreshing, crushable. But, as he mentioned, you must keep creating to stay afloat. One good cider isn’t enough in an era swimming in fruit beers, hard kombucha, canned cocktails, and five flavors and counting of The Claw.
Enter riffs like a cider sangria and a generously hopped cider. Portland Cider Company also does some seasonal offerings, like a peach berry and a passion fruit. Parrish says he and his staff have weekly meetings on innovation alone (“I have 30 mason jars right now full of tinctures of tea and all kinds of other flavors we’re working with,” he remarked).
“We have to remember how young cider is in this country ... It’s like a teenager who doesn’t know who it wants to be. It will evolve and settle in over time.”
