Night Shift Launches Boston Tea Party RTD

BOSTON (May 13, 2026) - Night Shift announces the launch of its newest ready-to-drink (RTD) line, Boston Tea Party. Boston Tea Party is an easy-drinking, vodka-based, lightly sweetened hard tea inspired by Boston’s rebellious spirit and love for any reason to celebrate.

Night Shift brewed Boston Tea Party for the ones who go against the grain—who will raise a can and start their own party. Night Shift Brewing’s Boston Tea Party capitalizes on the growing hard tea trend while establishing a premium position with its vodka base, instead of malt. At 4.5% ABV, Boston Tea Party is lightly carbonated, gluten-free, and naturally full-flavored in peach, lemon, raspberry, and mango. Individual flavors in 6-packs and variety 12-packs are available. Boston Tea Party is brewed, distilled, and packaged locally in Massachusetts.

“We saw there was a gap in the market for hard tea that actually tastes like tea. So we are redefining hard tea for today’s drinker, offering a premium vodka-based alternative that is true to our local roots,” said Jack Hendler, Chief Quality Officer of Night Shift. “Boston Tea Party pays homage to the infamous historical event where Boston settlers famously rebelled. That legendary rebellion is still relevant for consumers today, especially those who are not afraid to be completely who they are as a resident of Boston and Massachusetts.”

Boston Tea Party will be available starting in early May across all Night Shift distribution channels, including retail locations and the Night Shift Everett Taproom and Lovejoy Wharf location.

The SRP is $11.99 for a 6-pack of 12 oz. cans and $19.99 for a 12-pack of 12 oz. cans.

ABOUT NIGHT SHIFT

Night Shift has its roots in a small kitchen on Josephine Ave. in Somerville, MA. In 2007, the founders began homebrewing at night, making beers for friends and family that they hoped were more delicious than the commercial options on shelves. Night Shift’s mantra is “all styles welcome”—they exist to celebrate and welcome all beverages, all people, and all ideas. Anyone who wants a seat at their table has one. The brewery maintains a relentless focus on three values: integrity, innovation, and inclusivity.
