Positioned as a favored beer that is something of a mix of different libation varieties, the ale consists of a beer that has been balanced with notes of apple and cherry for a fruity finish. This makes it suitable for those who are looking for an alternative to traditional beers without switching to cooler, cocktails or ciders altogether. The Redd's Black Cherry Ale is part of the brands Limited Pick series and is set to be made available immediately until the beginning of 2018 for fans to pick up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Craft Beer Varieties:** Opportunity to create unique and innovative beer flavors by combining traditional beer with other flavors such as fruits or spices. - **Alternative Alcohol Options:** Potential for developing beverages that offer a different drinking experience than traditional beers, appealing to non-beer drinkers. - **Limited-edition Releases:** Opportunity to generate excitement and anticipation among consumers through limited-time, exclusive product offerings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Craft Brewing:** The craft beer industry can explore creative combinations of flavors to attract a wider consumer base. - **Alcoholic Beverage:** The alcoholic beverage industry can expand their product portfolios by introducing alternative alcoholic options to cater to changing consumer preferences. - **Marketing and Promotion:** The marketing and promotion industry can leverage limited-edition releases to create buzz and increase consumer engagement with brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grapefruit Golden Ale Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genesee-ruby-red-kolsch.md) - [Warm Weather Cherry Libations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-hooch.md) - [Festive Fruit-Forward Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitforward-beer.md) - [Collaboration Fruit-Forward Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-berry-attitude.md) - [Cherry-Flavored Alcoholic Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wkd-1.md) - [Apple-Infused Light Pilsners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-pilsner.md) - [Alcohol-Free Gose Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-gose.md) - [Beer-Cider Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crisp-ale.md) - [Blackberry-Spiked Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kolschstyle-ale.md)
