Hailing from Maine, Litl’ Squirts is a line of flavored enhanced water beverages designed for kids. All in all, we wouldn’t say that this is an overly innovative or unique product, but the flavor execution is good and should have pretty broad appeal. Unfortunately, however, the packaging is a bit of a different story...
Marketed as “a bubby probiotic tea,” Health-Ade, is a line of small-batch kombucha drinks that are currently distributed in the Los Angeles area. The company, which recently garnered an investment…
It’s fraught with controversy, but the latest in certifications -- which have in the past decade ranged from carbon impact statements to recycled content, from Organic to Fair Trade to Kosher and Gluten-Free -- is non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms). Runa co-founder and co-CEO Dan MacCombie recently volunteered to help BevNET readers understand some of the work involved in the process, as his company found it to be fraught with speed bumps. Here’s his story.
After sampling (and enjoying) the Mint variety of Limonitz' line-up of sparkling lemonades, we decided to take a look at two other flavors from the brand: Ginger and Strawberry. From our perspective, one of the varieties stood out as the best of the bunch... which one was it?
While our sources don’t necessarily sort by marketed demographic, here’s an interesting look at some of the top kids’ beverages via a look at the $1.1 billion aseptic juice drinks category. No surprise that Capri Sun is the leader here, but there are rising brands in the mix, including Honest Kids and V8 V-Fusion.
Despite Starbucks' utter domination of the RTD iced coffee category, we've been seeing a steady flow of new entries to the space, including the playfully-named Grumpy Cat Grumppuccino. The line which comes in Vanilla and Mocha varieties, delivers what is essentially a classic bottled RTD coffee drink, but at 320 calories, we wonder about the appeal of the products in comparison to lower calorie options.
Packaged in a 16 oz. bottle, Basic Beverages “Classic” Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate is designed to make four servings of coffee (the consumer mixes one part cold brew concentrate with two parts milk, water or dairy alternative). What’s unique about Basic's cold brew is that the product is made with pH 7.5+ water; the company claims that the water reduces the acidity of the final product. While we can’t speak to that claim, we can tell you that the product tastes extremely smooth...
The Caffe Latte variety of B’more Organic Skyr Smoothies is a new blend of the company's base skyr and coffee (delivered in the form of coffee extract and coffee flavor). Of the B’more flavors that we’ve sampled, this is definitely one of the more unique and enjoyable.
We extended the submission deadline for BevNET's Best of 2013 Awards + New Beverage Guide until the end of Wednesday, October 23. That means you have just two days left to submit your product for BevNET's "Best of" Awards and inclusion in BevNET's New Beverage Guide, the most comprehensive collection of non-alcoholic beverages compiled annually.
Having recently tweaked the formulation in its line of organic fruit drinks, we decided to give Wild Poppy, which we first reviewed in 2011, a second look. And while we were fans of the brand back then, we think that the updates have elevated Wild Poppy's flavor profile; the products taste (and look) really great.
Suja has released two new varieties to its recently launched Suja Elements line: Mango Fuego and Blutrients. As with the first round of Elements, the products are organic, cold-pressed and high-pressured processed, and, in our opinion, very well-executed in formulation and packaging.
A couple days ago, we reviewed a couple products from Found Beverage Co.'s line of juice drinks. Today, we take a the a few of the brand's sparkling water varieties. Packaged in the same sleek-looking 11.2 oz. glass bottles as its juice products, we like the attractive and polished look of the brand, although we wonder about the positioning of the drinks as “infused sparkling waters."
