The Definitely Over 21 party is being thrown in celebration of the new HARD MTN DEW Livewire alcoholic beverage as a seniors-only event to help get the word out about the new refreshment.
The event is taking place at a retirement community in Florida where guests must be 55 or older to attend, but will also include one lucky member of the HARD MTN DEW Nation community who wants to party it up with seniors. The brand is offering consumers the chance to plead their case as to why they want to spend their spring break partying at a retirement community. The winner will receive a trip to the party or themselves and a guest with roundtrip airfare, a two-night stay, transportation and $1,000 to spend.
Senior Brand Director for HARD MTN DEW, The Boston Beer Company Erica Taylor spoke on the Definitely Over 21 party saying, "To launch new HARD MTN DEW Livewire, we're inviting fans to celebrate spring break with us in the least conventional way possible. In the one place synonymous with both oranges and everyone being definitely over 21, we're ready to party like only HARD DEW can."
