Our Founding Vision

We were founded by a team of Connecticut natives who saw the potential to revolutionize the social beverage space. With backgrounds spanning wellness, hospitality, and consumer products, our founders brought together diverse expertise united by a common goal — creating exceptional products using real, high-quality ingredients for real people.

Today, our team continues to grow, but our core values remain unchanged: quality, community, and authenticity.

Rooted in Connecticut, Made for Everyone

Our story started in Connecticut, and we're proud of the craft, community, and innovation that shaped who we are. From our Derby headquarters, we've built a brand rooted in quality and authenticity — values we bring to every seltzer we make.

While our roots run deep in the Constitution State, our mission is bigger. We're bringing premium THC-infused seltzers to people across the country who deserve a better way to unwind and connect.
