Sun Cruiser Continues Its Rapid Rise
Boston Beer’s fast-growing tea-based RTD is building momentum on and off the shelf.
Sun Cruiser is proving to be one of Boston Beer's biggest success stories. During the company's second-quarter update, the brand posted triple-digit growth and quickly established itself as one of the top five spirits-based RTDs. Originally built through strong on-premise success, Sun Cruiser is now expanding rapidly into retail, with Boston Beer expecting strong distribution gains throughout the year.
The momentum isn't slowing down. Boston Beer is investing heavily behind the brand with a growing media presence tied to major sporting events, including the PGA Tour, MLB, the NBA Finals, the U.S. Open, and the Women's Open. Company founder Jim Koch also shared that Sun Cruiser continues to deliver strong sales velocity and has significant room for long-term growth as the brand expands its tea and lemonade lineup.
At SBG, we've seen Sun Cruiser's growth firsthand throughout our territory and are excited to help keep bars, restaurants, and retail shelves stocked all season long. We're proud to partner with Boston Beer and look forward to seeing Sun Cruiser continue its incredible momentum. Cheers to a refreshing summer and even brighter future!
