If you’ve ever dreamt of sipping on alcoholic versions of your favorite Polar Seltzer flavors, you’re in luck.
The Worcester-based company is reportedly partnering with Harpoon Brewery to release a new line of hard seltzers. Harpoon CEO and co-founder Dan Kenary told Brewbound that four flavors — Ruby Red Grapefruit, Pineapple Pomelo, Raspberry Lime and Black Cherry — will hit liquor store shelves in late April.
“We had an opportunity to work with the leading seltzer brand in our market,” he told the website. “We are using their flavors in these seltzers, and they will be more highly carbonated – something that Polar is known for.”
Brewbound reported that the flavors will be sold in six-packs and variety 12-packs across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic markets. They come in at 5 percent alcohol by volume.
Kenary told the website that the base liquid will be made at Harpoon’s facility in Boston and shipped to Polar’s factory in Worcester for carbonation and flavoring.
Polar and Harpoon Brewery team up to create 'berry limited' UFO Blueberry Lemonade Beer
This is the second time Harpoon and Polar have partnered on a beverage. Last spring, they teamed up to create a UFO Blueberry Lemonade beer.
The limited-edition beverage, described as a “Hefeweizen brewed with the essence of Polar Blueberry Lemonade,” came in at 4.8 percent ABV.
