Hey lads,
White Claws have just landed in Oz and there is limited supply available from the distributor
Traditionally, the Australian drinks market doesn't follow the American trends (blue moon has failed here & your beers are shit)
Curious as to why White Claws have been so popular in the States and why you guys drink them (taste, price, marketing, etc)
Any thoughts would be appreciated

seltzer is extremely en vogue here, as are low calorie, volume-drinkable drinks (e.g., session IPAs). married two popular concepts. also marketing.

Yeah it's interesting.
We've had seltzer's here for a while but no real take up however the market is super pumped by White Claws
Are they the nicest seltzer's in the states?
FYI, we experienced similar excitement with the Cider category about 10 years ago and they grew 25%-30% year on year for about 3 years and are now a must-have tap. Before that only old people drank them.

Ya it's all marketing mate.
Women love em but now men drink them too.
Claw summer was a thing here for a while. But now the seltzer category has so many options and they all kind of taste the same to me despite the different flavors.

Was Claw Summer only the 2020 Summer or has it been building for a while?

I think they taste like shit. I also think there is some ingredient in there that makes hangovers worse.
