“Today’s consumers are more adventurous, exploring new beer tastes and styles,” commented Gwendolyn Boyce, Brand Director – Dos Equis, HEINEKEN USA. “As a result, flavor experimentation has become a key factor in driving overall growth in the beer category. Our Beers of Mexico Variety pack is a proven seller, growing 3X faster than the variety pack segment and faster than any other top 10 variety pack[1]. This year, our holiday variety pack offers a great mix of styles that will delight any taste at the season’s holiday gatherings including our new Dos Equis Invierno Winter Bock, a medium-bodied winter-style bock beer with hints of toffee and a clean and crisp finish.”
The Beers of Mexico Variety Pack is available in 12- and 24- bottle formats, each containing equal amounts of Dos Equis Lager, Tecate, Sol and Dos Equis Invierno. Custom designed display and POS materials along with an on-pack mail in rebate offer (where legal) will be available to merchandise retail outlets and generate cross-merchandising displays, helping drive higher basket rings and increase overall profits during the busiest selling season of the year.
“Consumer research shows strong purchase intent for the Dos Equis brand (+62%) and Invierno (89%)[2],” added Boyce. “The Beers of Mexico Variety pack not only leverages the strength and momentum of the Dos Equis brand but it offers Dos Equis fans a unique opportunity to enjoy and serve Invierno, a new taste from their favorite brand.”
