Available for purchase online and in select retailers, Happy Duck features a premium blend of hemp-derived THC and botanical terpenes for a smooth, uplifting experience.

Minneapolis, MN – Date – BKR Brands, a trusted innovator in the hemp industry, and Gray Duck, a Minnesota-born brand celebrated for its rich cultural roots, proudly announce the launch of Happy Duck, a THC-infused beverage crafted to elevate the drinking experience  with a distinctive nod to Minnesota pride and heritage. Whether you’re relaxing solo or sharing laughs with friends, Happy Duck delivers a refreshing blend of quality, community spirit, and Minnesota charm, all in one smooth sip.

Happy Duck isn’t just another drink. It’s a nod to Minnesota tradition, inspired by Gray Duck’s playful connection to the iconic childhood game “Duck, Duck, Gray Duck.” Founded by Jerry Schulz, Mark Cotter, Jamie Quesnel, and former Minnesota Vikings captain Chad Greenway, Gray Duck has always been about pride, connection, and creating moments that matter. Now, they’re taking their legacy to new heights with a drink that’s smooth, refreshing, and packed with premium ingredients like hemp-derived THC and natural terpenes.

“Partnering with Gray Duck to launch Happy Duck is about more than creating a drink—it’s about honoring tradition, building community, and sharing the best of what Minnesota has to offer,” said Josh Kasprzyk, President of BKR Brands. “We’ve crafted a drink that’s not only enjoyable but also embodies quality and pride in every sip. Happy Duck is for anyone looking to make lasting memories while celebrating responsibly.”

Crafted with care, Happy Duck combines BKR Brand’s expertise in hemp-derived products with Gray Duck’s cherished legacy, delivering a beverage that’s as thoughtful as it is delightful. With its perfectly balanced blend of THC and botanical terpenes, Happy Duck offers a smooth experience that fits any occasion. It’s the perfect alternative to traditional spirits, offering a refreshing way to unwind and connect.

Where to Find Happy Duck:

Happy Duck is now available online at HappyDuckVibes.com and in select retailers. Follow us on Instagram @happyduckvibes to stay in the loop and join our quacking-good community.
