Windsor, CT – Jan 6, 2026 – Just in time for Dry January, Float House has released the world's first hemp-derived, THC-infused nitro "brew" - or beer-style inspired beverage – in the hemp beverage space. THC NITRO is available now wherever Float House is sold, and comes in two doses: 3mg or 10mg of THC, in 12oz or 16oz cans respectively. THC NITRO is a dry, dark, and drinkable brew with a flavor that meets the season, and a floaty dose of THC that meets the needs of the modern consumer. Consumers no longer need to choose between enjoying a dark brew with an elevating effect in the winter or adhering to Dry January: they can now do both.
When it comes to innovation, "we often ask ourselves - what would we want to drink right now?" says Founder & CEO, Gordon Whelpley. The answer leading into the winter: a Dry Irish Stout that offers a feeling of float, instead of a hangover.
This new, as the team calls it, "highrish" brew, is inspired by classic Irish stouts on the market, but with less carbs, calories, and sugars than a traditional beer. The nitro infusion delivers a smooth, creamy body that has a recognizable cascading effect when poured vigorously into a glass. The 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD can offer an experience as mellow and smooth as the brew itself.
Float House is a start-up beverage innovation company that focuses on brew styles of infused beverages. These brews feel and taste familiar, and yet offer a completely new experience. The team has recently been recognized as an industry stand-out, having received both a Gold and Double Gold for their THC IPA in the 2025 America's Best Beverage Awards competition. As the world's first infused nitro brew, THC NITRO expands their reputation for pushing the boundaries of what a THC beverage can be.
"We offer brews that fulfill the ritual of having a cold one at the end of the day," says Jared Emerling, Co-Founder, "and can do more than a plain NA is able to." The Float House core line-up– THC LITE, THC IPA, and seasonal THC NITRO (Jan–Mar '26), serves drinkers who want the flavor, ritual and experience of a brew without alcohol – plus the highest-quality floaty effects Float House's THC brews are known for.
Available Online; CT, RI & NJ stores THC IPA, THC Lite and THC NITRO 3mg and 10mgs are available for purchase at authorized sellers across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Jersey, and online.
