Innovative Beer Flavours

Warsteiner Chili con Lemon

— June 26, 2008 — World
Want to spice up your beer drinking experience? Warsteiner's chili-flavoured beer will do the trick!

Germans are known worldwide for making a good brew, making it a great country for trend spotting in the beer industry. Warsteiner, one of Germany's leading beer brands, is offering a series of bottled beer in unique flavours like Lemon, Orange, caffeinated Cola and, my favourite, spicy Chili con Lemon.

Many pubs, restaurants and bars are serving the fun drinks which range in alcoholic content from 2,9% vol to 4,8%. Their marketing during the Euro 2008 has been successful, with many people opting for the novel flavors as they cheer on team Deutschland in soccer.

They're marketed to younger demographics, hence their lower alcohol content, but adults enjoy sipping on them too. Warsteiner paid special attention to the bottle design after realizing most people now opt to drink straight from their long-neck rather than dirty a glass. A lot of emphasis was put on the branding, with details like 3D style text.

There's also a "Limited Club Edition" bottle which has fluorescent details on the label that glow under black lights. It looks really neat on the Lemon flavoured bottles when paired with the pale greenish yellow colour of the beer itself.

I had a chance to try the Chili con Lemon flavour while in Hamburg last week, and was pleasantly surprised. The beer is easy to drink and doesn't burn; instead, it leaves a tongue-tingling after taste. It's the perfect drink to pair with salty snacks, although I'm not sure it would be the best quencher when seeking relief from hot wings.
Trend Themes
1. Novel Beer Flavors - The development of innovative beer flavors such as Warsteiner Chili con Lemon presents an opportunity for breweries to stand out in a crowded market and attract younger demographics.
2. Alcohol Alternatives - With many younger demographics seeking lower-alcohol options, breweries can explore the development of alternative alcoholic beverages such as Warsteiner's range of unique flavored drinks.
3. Creative Bottle Designs - The emphasis on Warsteiner's bottle designs, such as 3D text and fluorescent details under blacklight, indicates an untapped opportunity for breweries to enhance brand recognition and appeal to consumers' aesthetic preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Brewing - Breweries can expand their product offerings and appeal to younger demographics by experimenting with unique beer flavors, alternative alcoholic beverages, and creative bottle designs, as demonstrated by Warsteiner's success.
2. Bars and Restaurants - Bars and restaurants can attract consumers by offering a variety of innovative beer flavors and unique alcoholic beverages like Warsteiner's range of bottled drinks, providing an opportunity for differentiation and increased sales.
3. Beverage Packaging - The success of Warsteiner's unique bottle design, including 3D text and fluorescent details under blacklight, represents an opportunity for beverage packaging companies to offer creative branding solutions that appeal to consumers' aesthetic preferences and enhance brand recognition.
