Sample from Over 20 Hard Seltzer Flavors at March First Brewing's Annual Seltzer Smash

A celebration of hard seltzer is brewing in Cincinnati this month with the return of March First Brewing’s Seltzer Smash.

Back for its fourth year, Seltzer Smash will be taking place Saturday, June 15 from 11:30 a.m. to midnight at both the brewery’s taprooms in Blue Ash and at Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati. More than 20 flavors of March First’s signature hard seltzer, Astra, will be featured, many of which are exclusive to each taproom.

“Seltzer Smash offers us a creative way for us to test out new flavors with our core customers every year,” March First spokesperson Josh Engel said in a press release. “What better way to get direct feedback than to throw a huge party and invite the whole city? This year we wanted to bring the celebration to both of our March First locations in Blue Ash and on Fountain Square to bring in even more people. Every new flavor attendees try may end up in full production batches and show up on the shelves of their favorite stores.”

March First says unique, never-before-seen flavors include Strawberry Cream, Ginger Pear, Raspberry Lemonade, Spicy Pickle and more. It’s also bringing back its Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Cream Soda, the first and only barrel-aged hard seltzer made in Cincinnati, for the event.

Tickets for Seltzer Smash are $30 and can be bought on the day of the event. You’ll receive 10 sample tickets, as well as a souvenir cup, and more tickets can be purchased beyond the initial package.
