Morning Consult report: White Claw’s ‘purchasing consideration’ is now equal to Sierra Nevada

September 13, 2019Pretty Much a Press Release

White-Claw
Whatever you do, don’t get them wet after midnight.

Over Labor Day, the hard seltzer brand White Claw had its single biggest growth week of the year, according to brand tracking data from Morning Consult.

Morning Consult Brand Intelligence, which tracks consumer perceptions of over 3,000 brands on a daily basis, found that by the end of the weekend, nearly one in five adults consumers said they were considering purchasing from White Claw, a seven-point jump from the beginning of the week. 

Highlights of the report

Brand ID Doubles In 2019: Morning Consult brand tracking data finds the share of consumers who are familiar with White Claw has doubled this year, with the bulk of the growth coming in just the last few months. 

So Has Purchasing Considerations: This growth in brand ID has been accompanied with a proportional rise in purchasing consideration. Among 21-29 year-olds, that growth has been particularly pronounced, jumping from 12 percent to 24 percent in less than a year. 

For context, White Claw’s purchasing consideration levels are now equal to Sierra Nevada, the third largest craft beer maker in the country. 

Along with performing well with younger adults, White Claw also fares slightly better with urban and suburban Americans than rural ones. There is no difference in purchasing consideration between men and women – both sit at 14 percent. 

Truly, which is also tracked in Brand Intelligence, has experienced relatively similar growth, although purchasing consideration lags slightly behind White Claw. 

Methodology

With over 75,000 annual interviews on every brand, Brand Intelligence brings together millions of survey interviews on thousands of brands to provide real-time insight and analytics into the most important brand metrics. The results in this report are based on 67,132 survey interviews with U.S. adults between September 15, 2018 and September 8, 2019. The interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of adults based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, and region. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage points.
