BACKSTAGE The SSE Arena, Belfast and White Claw® Hard Seltzer Announce Drinks Partnership

The SSE Arena, Belfast has announced a major new drinks partnership with Richmond Marketing - the exclusive distributor of White Claw® Hard Seltzer across the island of Ireland.

The launch comes ahead of the venue’s exciting new calendar of entertainment, kicking off with the highly anticipated Peter Kay Live tour on Thursday 7 August.

This strategic collaboration marks a significant milestone in The SSE Arena’s beverage evolution and reflects a joint commitment to responding to modern consumer demand for lower-calorie, light and flavourful alcoholic options.

White Claw® – the global number one hard seltzer, owned by Mark Anthony Brands International – has rapidly become the go-to drink for consumers seeking a clean, crisp, better-for-you alternative to traditional alcohol. Each 4.5% ABV can contains just 95 calories, is gluten-free, and made with naturally flavoured sparkling water – appealing strongly to health-conscious, flavour-driven audiences.

Kerri Murphy, Senior Brand Manager for White Claw®, said: "White Claw® has exploded at live events and festivals thanks to its light and refreshing taste - it's a natural fit for social moments. That's why we're so excited to partner with The SSE Arena - an iconic venue known for world-class events and shows.

"Launching White Claw® ahead of Peter Kay's tour is the perfect way to introduce fans to a drink that matches the energy and fun of live entertainment - light, crisp, and bursting with natural flavour."

Available throughout the venue, including concourse bars and the exclusive SSE Reward Lounge, White Claw® will offer fans a light, refreshing new way to enjoy a night out - whether they’re attending a concert, comedy show, or sporting fixture.

Dermot McGinn, Group Head of Food and Beverage at The Odyssey Trust, said: "We're excited to welcome White Claw® to The SSE Arena just in time for an incredible new events season. As a venue committed to innovation in food and beverage, we're always striving to stay ahead of evolving consumer tastes.

"Providing fresh, modern, and on-trend drink options, like White Claw®, not only enhances our guests' experience but also reflects our dedication to meeting their changing expectations. Its natural taste profiles and light, refreshing style make it a perfect fit for our diverse audience."
