    Angry Orchard intros Hardcore dark cherry apple imperial hard cider 

    Angry Orchard Hardcore Imperial Hard Cider

    Angry Orchard is introducing Angry Orchard Hardcore Dark Cherry Apple Imperial Hard Cider.

    Pointing out that imperial higher ABV options are driving growth across beer, FMB and cider categories, Angry Orchard said that its newest innovation marks the brands first nationally available 8% ABV cider.

    Made with traditional bittersweet cider apples and blended with dark cherry juice from concentrate for an easy to drink cider bursting with real fruit flavor, Hardcore Dark Cherry Apple is the perfect balance of crisp apple and tart cherry sweetness, the beverage brand said.

    In honor of its 8% ABV, Hardcore Dark Cherry Apple is now available in six-pack 12-oz. cans. It also will be a featured flavor in the Angry Orchard Fall Haul Variety Packs dropping this fall.

    Through the years, Angry Orchard has been synonymous with offering deliciously bold ciders that feature real fruit, said Kelli McCusker, head of marketing at Angry Orchard.

    As drinkers shop the increasingly crowded alcohol space, theyre looking for offerings that deliver on flavor, ingredients and ABV to provide more value, McCusker said. Combining Angry Orchards equity in real fruit with a higher ABV in our new Hardcore wins that shopper equation while giving drinkers a new way to transport them to their happy place that much faster.

    To celebrate Angry Orchards leap into Hardcore, the brand is putting the call out for drinkers to show off how "hardcore they are. 

    The cider brand is hosting a Hard to the Core" contest where drinkers are encouraged to live out their hardcore dreams, with the brand footing the bill ($500 worth). Whether its bungee jumping, skydiving, rock climbing or hardcore chilling in the backyard, the first 40 drinkers (aged 21 years old and older) to submit a photo completing their hardcore activity via Twitter, with #AOHardCore, and tag @AngryOrchard will receive a $500 cash prize. The contest runs now to Sept. 8. Winners will be notified via direct message from the official @AngryOrchard Twitter account.

    CBD pet products to see double-digit growth

    pet cbd teaser

    A new report concludes that the global CBD pet products market is anticipated to see a compound annual growth rate of 12% from 2022 to 2027.

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, the market studied did not experience any negative consequences, the report said. In addition, there were no new entrants during the pandemic, so the existing players enjoyed the oligopoly from the growing demand for CBD pet products.

    “The sales were spiked due to the availability of the products on e-commerce platforms, which made it easier for pet owners to access and have products delivered to their doorsteps during the pandemic-induced lockdowns,” the report said.

    Yet, the unfavorable and stringent government regulations in several developing countries due to social constraints have affected the demand for CBD pet products since cannabis is considered unhealthy for pets. This can be attributed to the lack of awareness among pet owners as well. 

    While traditional dog or cat products currently dominate the market, those targeted for equine and other domesticated animals are on the horizon. As pet and animal products are focused on treats, supplements and food additives, therapeutic CBD with antianxiety and anti-inflammation properties is expected to remain the top-selling product.

    “North America dominates the market,” the report said. “CBD pet supplements are primarily fueled by increasing consumer awareness about natural supplements and the current spotlight on the medical and therapeutic benefits of cannabis. Additionally, the rise in the adoption of pets and increasing demand for premium care products are a few factors that are expected to drive the market growth. Moreover, in 2018, in the United States, pet care accounted for nearly 3% of the overall revenue of the legal cannabis industry.”

    According to the American Pet Products Association, U.S. pet owners are estimated to have spent about $95.5 billion in 2020 on pet supplies, treatments and veterinary care. As CBD pet products are becoming more readily available and accepted, well-positioned suppliers and distributors will be able to exploit the tremendous opportunities for growth in CBD pet sales.

    CBD Pet Products Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022-2027) is available at researchandmarkets.com, a market research store.
