How You Could Win a Year's Supply of Hard Seltzer and a Chance to Talk to Lance Bass

Ever notice how many hard seltzer brands out there seem rather, well, basic?

We're talking bathroom mirror selfies, Ugg boots, and pumpkin spice everything-level basic. Having a hard seltzer on a hot, summer afternoon should be fun and refreshing. Not boring.

Now, brewing company New Belgium is releasing its own version of hard seltzer that's as non-basic and delicious as its beers. Fruit Smash Hard Seltzer, is a new seltzer made with real fruit that comes in regular-sized (not skinny) cans. The brand currently has three flavors: Pink Lemonade, Berry Blast, and Tropical punch.

And New Belgium is celebrating Fruit Smash's nationwide release later this month with celebrity and former NSYNC-er Lance Bass.

On April 14, the brand launched its "Say Bye to Basic Hotline," a number that allows customers to call in so they can say goodbye to "basic things" in their life. Every customer who calls in has a chance of winning a year's supply of Fruit Smash Hard Seltzer, and if you call in at a certain time, you might even get to speak to Lance Bass yourself.

Sadly, no, Lance will not be manning the phone 24-hours a day, seven days a week. If you want a chance at talking directly to him, you can call the hotline between 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. EST on Friday, April 16 — just in time for the 21st anniversary of NSYNC's "No Strings Attached," coincidentally.

If you can't get Lance on the phone, you can still have a chance to win the sweepstakes. Three lucky callers will be given an $850 Visa Gift Card that they can use to buy Fruit Smash whenever they want.

To call in, simply dial 1-833-UNBASIC (1-833-862-2742) between now until Saturday, April 24. All callers must be over 21, and some additional charges may apply based on your phone plan.
