BROOKLYN, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, global craft beer innovator Brooklyn Brewery announces the launch of the Special Effects Variety Pack - the first nationally distributed non-alcoholic variety pack of its kind. Available in select markets this fall before rolling out nationally beginning in January 2022, it includes 3 cans each of popular NA brews: Hoppy Amber and IPA, alongside newcomers and pack exclusives Special Effects Pils and Special Effects Hazy IPA.
As a leader in the non-alcoholic space, the expansion of Brooklyn Brewery's non-alcoholic portfolio reaffirms the company's commitment to growing the NA beverage market by providing more flavorful and accessible options that don't compromise on taste.
“We’ve seen this culture of trial and experimentation around all beverage consumers but especially those who are interested in the low/no alcohol space. Our previous Special Effects releases, Hoppy Amber and IPA have out-performed our expectations, and year-to-date the brand family constitutes over 10% of our total sales for the Brewery,” explains Samantha Itzkovitz, VP of Marketing at Brooklyn Brewery. “The Special Effects Variety Pack allows us to showcase our growing non-alcoholic lineup and feeds the customer’s desire to sample and figure out what they like in their own time.”
Brooklyn’s Special Effects Variety Pack, now covering an even wider range of the world’s most popular beer styles, has something for everyone, making it the perfect accompaniment for all kinds of occasions: Friends-giving, family dinners, holiday parties and everything in between.
“With Pilsner and Hazy IPA we hope to continue in our efforts to expand the style offerings available to consumers of NA beer,” says Brooklyn Brewery’s Brewmaster and James Beard Award Winner, Garrett Oliver. “The options in this category have been so limited for so long and we hope to add more styles to the lineup as we continue to sharpen our production process and develop new methods for NA brewing.”
Brooklyn Special Effects Variety Packs are currently rolling out now, and will be in all of the Brewery’s 30+ state footprint by early next year. They are also available to purchase directly through www.brooklynbrewery.com. Included within the pack are 3 cans each of:
- NEW: Brooklyn Special Effects Pils, a crisp, snappy, and dry NA version of the world’s most popular beer style (Variety Pack Exclusive).
- NEW: Brooklyn Special Effects Hazy IPA, full of the bombastic fruity hop aromas and juicy feel of a hazy IPA and perfect for hop newcomers or haze experts (Variety Pack Exclusive).
- Brooklyn Special Effects Hoppy Amber, a delicious, hoppy, and flavorful brew made for those who want smooth lager flavor and fresh hop notes without the buzz.
- Brooklyn Special Effects IPA, a take on the most beloved craft style out there with its hop-packed and citrusy taste, just without the alcohol.
The Variety Pack will also be available through an expanding distribution partnership and in-store program with Whole Foods, where consumers can expect an unprecedented level of access to Brooklyn Special Effects. Kicking off for Dry January, it will be available for in-store purchase, nationally in all states where Brooklyn Brewery is distributed.
