Loosely inspired by the protest, High Noon is sparking conversation about the popularity of [malt-based hard tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-one-sweet-tea). In preparation for the arrival of its branded ship in Boston, High Noon opened a sweepstakes offering a trip to Boston for one winner and a guest. No matter how people appreciate the ship in all its glory, the ship is a reminder to savor the Original, Peach, Lemon and Raspberry flavors made with real spirits and no added sugars. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 24% - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Historical-themed Marketing:** Capitalizing on historical events, brands can create interactive marketing experiences that resonate deeply with local communities. - **Alcoholic Tea Beverages:** The rise of malt-based hard tea beverages indicates growing consumer interest in novel alcoholic options beyond traditional beer and wine. - **Sweepstakes-based Promotions:** Brands are increasingly utilizing sweepstakes to generate buzz and engage consumers with memorable travel experiences tied to product launches. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Industry:** The intersection of traditional tea flavors with alcoholic beverages represents a unique growth segment within the broader beverage market. - **Travel and Tourism:** Promotional events tied to historical cities attract tourists and create opportunities for synergistic partnerships between beverage brands and travel firms. - **Event Marketing:** Leveraging event marketing, companies can build significant brand presence and consumer engagement through large-scale, themed promotional activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hard Ice Tea Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-noon-vodka-iced-tea-1.md) - [Iced Tea-Inspired Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-tea-vodka.md) - [Premium Spiked Iced Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-noon-vodka-iced-tea.md) - [Moonshine-Based Tea Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugarlands-distilling-co.md) - [Canned Cocktails Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boardroom-cocktails.md) - [Iced Tea-Infused Vodka Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surfside.md) - [Refreshing Hard Iced Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refreshing-hard-iced-teas.md) - [Vodka-Based Lemonade Flavor Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vodkabased-lemonade.md) - [Festive Ready-To-Drink Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-days-of-holiday.md)
