Minnesota was the first state to create a regulated marketplace for hemp beverages. The response from consumers has been nothing short of amazing.
“Low-dose hemp beverages provide adults with a delightful alternative to alcohol,” said Christopher Lackner, president of the Hemp Beverage Alliance. “This Festival is a great opportunity to get together with friends, learn more about the category, and find your new favorite drink.” The mission of the Hemp Beverage Alliance is to create a safe and thriving industry through education, advocacy, best practices and partnership. We achieve this mission by providing consumers, retailers, and distributors with the information they need to better understand the industry; developing best practices to create consistency in labeling and manufacturing; working with elected officials and regulators to encourage common-sense regulation; and collaborating with cannabis and alcohol industries to create a marketplace that benefits everyone.
