“Now that the Farm Bill has passed, there are a lot of brands that are entering the space, trying to cash in on a red-hot trend,” says Lisi Willner, VP of Marketing at Sprig. “Sprig has been around for almost five years now. While many of these new companies were busy standing up brands, we’ve been quietly strengthening our supply chain, infrastructure, and distribution network. As a result, many of the country’s top retailers have come to us for their first foray into CBD beverages.”
Anheuser-Busch distributors such as Fabiano Brothers, who cover parts of Michigan and Wisconsin, are benefitting too.
“We saw this category as a huge opportunity,” says Tom Clark, Director of Sales and Marketing at Fabiano Brothers. “CBD products have exploded on to the scene. Sprig is the market leader in CBD infused soda and the first beverage company to offer a great tasting CBD soda in a variety of flavors. Sprig’s category innovation has allowed us as a distributor to be active in a new space, within a beverage category that will only continue to grow.”
CBD is a non-psychoactive component found in the cannabis plant and is known for its healing and wellness properties. Sprig comes in four flavors, three of which are zero sugar. Each can of Sprig has 20mg of hemp-derived CBD.
