Alcoholic lemonade brand Hooch teamed up with award-winning craft brewery SALT to debut Twisting My Lemon Man, a limited-edition product supported by 90s music icon Bez. Inspired by the Cool Britannia era, this light, refreshing and sessionable lemon-infused pale ale is made with real Hooch and is full of nostalgia.
This launch was inspired by consumer insights revealing a crossover between craft beer and Hooch drinkers and it primarily targets three kinds of consumers: nostalgic Hooch drinkers, younger consumers who know both brands and beer drinkers who don't usually consider ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages as their drink of choice.
The 4% ABV easy-drinking pale ale will launch with a 90s-themed party in Leeds with Bez as a special guest and DJ.
