ATLANTA, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For the last 30 years, McAlister's Deli® has been a destination for great food, but also for its famous sweet tea. To meet the demands of tea fans everywhere, the fast casual restaurant chain is unveiling its new McAlister's Tea Kegs. Available this summer, these large tea barrels will give tea lovers the chance to indulge in mass quantities of their favorite beverage, McAlister's Famous Sweet Tea™. With Americans consuming a reported 3.8 billion gallons of tea each year, McAlister's saw an opportunity to take its number one selling item a step further and will offer the full-bodied, premium tea in 5.16 and 15.5 gallon kegs.
"We heard our sweet tea fans demands loud and clear. Our 32 oz. cups just weren't enough to satisfy their cravings, so we went big, Keg big," said Will Eudy, corporate executive chef for McAlister's Deli. "Now our fans can brew up some fun at home with family and friends."
McAlister's Famous Sweet Tea™ is steeped with Rainforest Alliance Certified™ premium tea leaves, made fresh every four hours and sweetened with pure cane sugar. Loyal tea fans near and far can finally enjoy their favorite drink in mass amounts during moments when they need a little something extra for large gatherings. Each 15.5 gallon keg will brew around 62 (32 oz.) glasses and the 5.16 gallon keg will brew around 20 (32 oz.) glasses full of delicious McAlister's tea. The new keg sizes will be available in both sweetened and unsweetened black tea and McAlister's will sweeten the deal by throwing in its famous 32 oz. cups and ice with a tea keg purchase. This limited offer is available via online ordering only beginning this summer. More details coming soon.
