“Ain’t no laws when you’re drinking Claws”

It’s been a fascinating few months watching the development of the White Claw phenomenon and its grip on the US.

In case you hadn’t heard of it, here’s a quick summary of what you’ve missed:

• The Hard Seltzer brand, launched in 2016, has become such a cultural phenomenon that this summer has become known as the ‘White Claw Summer’.
• White Claw was the fastest-growing beer and flavoured malted beverage in the US during July and outsold brand giant Budweiser, according to Nielsen.
• White Claw was so popular that a nationwide product shortage was declared in September.
• Police departments have had to issue a reminder that contrary to popular belief there are, in fact, laws when you’re drinking Claws.

Staggering.

But will this mind-blowing success travel across the Atlantic to the UK?

We’ve been finding out.

We sent 10 UK Thinkers a can of White Claw.

They then shared their opinions on:

• the packaging,
• taste,
• future purchase intent,
• when they would be likely to drink it,
• what it would replace,
• where they expect to see it positioned in-store and
• their price expectations.

We analysed the raw video footage using our new lean solution approach, which offers our clients quicker, cheaper, but uncompromised insights.
