A-B Goes Nationwide With Stella Artois Cidre

Stella Artois today announced Stella Artois Cidre, the crisp, dry European-style cider launched to widespread acclaim in May 2013, is launching nationwide. As a long-time supporter of cinema and the Sundance Film Festival, Stella Artois Cidre is using the festival’€™s gorgeous wintry backdrop to host a series of occasions showcasing the versatility that has driven Stella Artois Cidre’€™s success.

In May 2013, Stella Artois Cidre was introduced in 26 states. Since then, the increasingly popular beverage has been an important part of a surging U.S. cider market’€”which is growing more than 100 percent annually. Stella Artois Cidre will now be available in all 50 states. It will also now be available on draught in bars and restaurants nationwide.

‘€œWhen we launched Stella Artois Cidre, we saw that the cider market in the U.S. was poised for continued growth,’€ said Chris Hanson, Stella Artois. ‘€œWhite wine drinkers in particular have been drawn to Stella Artois Cidre. So, we have decided to expand the Stella Artois Cidre footprint both on shelves and on tap, and where better to celebrate than in the crisp mountain air of Sundance Film Festival?’€

To commemorate this expansion, Stella Artois is hosting a range of events at Sundance, including a launch party on Friday, January 17, featuring a surprise performance from an acclaimed musical guest amidst a chic ‘€œwinter orchard’€ setting in the Stella Artois Cidre Lodge. The Stella Artois Cidre national launch will be supported by a major media push, including a national advertising campaign.
