New Age Beverages Corporation Press Release:
DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / September 19, 2018 / NEW AGE BEVERAGES CORPORATION (NASDAQ: NBEV), the Colorado-based organic and natural healthy functional beverage company intending to become the world’s leading healthy beverage company, today announced that it intends to debut its portfolio of CBD infused beverages at the upcoming North American Convenience Store show (NACS) to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center on October 7-10, 2018.
Given the growing awareness of the potential health benefits of CBD, the New Age Health Sciences Division evaluated the data and science supporting the emerging segment. As a result of that assessment, New Age began testing a CBD-infused beverage earlier this year in its home market in Colorado. Based on the learnings gained in the test market and the increased consumer acceptance of the segment, New Age has decided to expand its presence in the category. The Company has taken the learnings it gained in product formulation and taste, efficacy and dosage, and consumer communication and has developed a portfolio of CBD-infused beverages. Now, coupled with the increased interest from major retailers in North America, New Age intends to unveil its portfolio and category insights with select retail partners at the NACS show on October 8th.
According to the Brightfield Group, the Global market for CBD will top $22 Billion with the next 4 years. Non-psychotropic CBD is one of the most medicinal compounds in the cannabis plant, reportedly helping with everything from arthritis to epilepsy and cancer, and is seen by many as a natural remedy instead of a pharmaceutical or narcotic drug. The 2018 Farm Bill, which was recently passed by both the House and Senate, would likely legalize CBD for farmers across the country and allow it for sale nationally in all channels.
New Age will be meeting with some of the major retailers in the country at NACS on October 8-10th and taking orders on a first come, first serve basis, given anticipated demand. New Age’s Health Sciences Division is overseeing and carefully controlling production, quality, and its supply chain and sales channel partners given the importance of efficacy and quality control in the end product.
Zach Ross, Marley Marketing Manager at New Age commented, “We believe we have developed unique consumer insights and accessed superior technology in CBD-infused beverages over the past year, and we are excited to share those insights with key retail partners. We believe we are in a position to bring national leadership to this emerging growth segment, and intend to launch the most efficacious and safe CBD-infused products for consumers, with the most responsible marketing and education to a segment that has potential to be transformative to healthy functional beverages.”
