Tampa, Florida – Coppertail Brewing Co., a brewery located in Ybor City, has launched its first THC-infused beverage called High Dive. This new seltzer product is designed for adult consumers, featuring 10 milligrams of THC and 2 milligrams of CBD in each 12-ounce can. High Dive offers a tropical-citrus flavor and is currently available in four packs at select retailers, restaurants, and bars throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. Customers can also purchase it directly from Coppertail’s brewery.
As the market for THC-infused beverages continues to expand, Coppertail Brewing Co. has announced plans to broaden distribution across Florida later this year, hoping to attract both locals and visitors looking for a legal cannabis-infused option. Industry analysts forecast that the THC-infused beverage market could surpass $1 billion in sales this year, reflecting significant growth in consumer interest and innovation in this sector.
Founded in 2014, Coppertail Brewing Co. has made a name for itself with a diverse range of beer styles, including pale ales and IPAs. The introduction of High Dive marks a new venture for the brewery, tapping into the burgeoning market of cannabis-infused drinks. The founder and CEO of Coppertail expressed confidence that customers will appreciate having a local choice for THC-infused beverages in a market that also includes notable national brands such as Corona and Heineken, which have begun to offer similar products.
To purchase High Dive, consumers must be 21 years old or older, adhering to the legal age requirements established for cannabis products. This ensures that the product is marketed responsibly while aligning with state regulations surrounding the sale of THC-infused beverages.
The launch of High Dive coincides with an increased consumer inclination towards cannabis-infused products, particularly in states where recreational use has been legalized. This interest has fueled the entry of various companies into the market, making it a competitive arena filled with diverse offerings. With its local roots, Coppertail hopes to capitalize on this trend and stand out among the competition.
As more consumers seek innovative ways to consume cannabis, the popularity of THC-infused beverages, such as High Dive, may lead to further developments in flavors, formulations, and product types. Coppertail Brewing Co.’s foray into the THC market exemplifies the ongoing shift within the beverage industry and highlights the increasing acceptance of cannabis as a mainstream product.
The introduction of High Dive by Coppertail Brewing Co. represents not only a significant addition to their product lineup but also a broader trend within the beverage industry towards inclusivity and wellness options that cater to changing consumer preferences. As distribution expands and awareness grows, High Dive is positioned to become a popular choice among those seeking a new way to enjoy refreshments in Florida.
