A Taste of the Boardwalk: Coney Island Hard Root Beer Now Available in Minnesota

Aug. 4, 2015

The hottest beverage on the market right now is creating a giant buzz in more ways than one. Hard root beer has taken the beer category by storm this summer, as the nostalgic beverage hits that sweet spot between a crafted beer and a refreshing soda. 

According to recent IRI data, hard root beer has grabbed sizeable share of the craft beer segment, ranging from 3-4%, in cities in the Midwest. Multiply that out, and it is easy to see that there is some serious growth potential for this category. 

Coney Island Hard Root Beer looks to build on this throwback trend with a new twist on the old boardwalk favorite. Featuring hints of vanilla, licorice and birch, Coney Island Hard Root Beer is nostalgia in a glass. At 5.8% ABV it is a root beer for adults that can be enjoyed right out of the bottle, as a boiler maker or even mixed into a cocktail. Hard root beer floats anyone?
