Mike's Hard Lemonade Co.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mike's Hard Lemonade Co. is an US-based manufacturer of beer beverages, also known as "malternative" or flavored malt beverages. It is named after its flagship and original product, Mike's Hard Lemonade, which is a mixture of vodka, lemonade and carbonated water in Canada, and a flavoured malt base in the United States.
The beverage was parodied in the film Superbad when a female friend of Jules asks Seth to obtain some "Kyle's Killer Lemonade" for an upcoming party.
The company was founded in 1999 by Anthony von Mandl. The company's U.S. headquarters moved from Lakewood, Colorado (Denver) to Seattle in 2005. One reason for the move was to be closer to its parent company Mark Anthony Group Inc. of Vancouver, B.C., Canada, a privately-owned manufacturer and distributor of wines, hard ciders and other alcoholic beverages.
