its Sourdough Craft Beer Pretzel Rings.
"These rings are a high-quality sourdough pretzel
made with malted barley and hops and in a ring shape
to fit around the neck of your beer bottle," said Justin

"Snack availability energizes the proliferation of
snacking occasions and creates more dining experiences or 'experiential' snacking that excites consumers and drives consumption," said Sally Lyons Wyatt,
executive vice-president and practice leader, IRI.
Hanover, PA-based Utz Quality Food's pretzels also
showed strength with sales rising 9.7% to more than
$83 million, according to IRI. The Utz brand portfolio
covers all of the major categories across salty snacks.
"Pretzels, pork rinds and cheese snacks have been extremely strong for our growth," said Kevin Brick, senior
vice-president, marketing, Utz Quality Foods.
Innovation with healthier ingredients can boost consumer interest in pretzels, as it has for other snacks. A
while ago, Unique Pretzels produced a sprouted grain
pretzel.
The gluten-free space may have room for growth.
Last year, Quinn Snacks, Boulder, CO, introduced a
sorghum and brown rice "deli rye style," gluten-free
pretzel.
"Producers are also adding fruits and veggies to
products using a wheat base," said Tom Vierhile,
vice-president strategic insights, North America, Innova
