Why You Should Work With Us
We want to revolutionize alcohol by bringing transparency and real ingredients to the industry.
We are in the Top 25 best selling SKUs in Whole Foods and Wegmans in MA out of 2,500+ brands. Now we are expanding.
What is a Superbrew? We made it up. Super Brew = Superfoods + Fermentation. These glorious beverages are 4.5% ABV, gluten free that are like a mix between seltzer, cider, and kombucha. They are made with real superfood ingredients, 6 ingredients per flavor, and fewer calories than wine or Bud Light.
Described by Food & Wine (2017) as “for the family member that literally will not drink any beer… dry, surprisingly complex and completely quaff-able… even the beer diehards in the house will be grabbing for one of these.”
