In our Behind the Brand series, we’ll take you through how Climbing Kites came to be one of the fastest growing hemp beverage companies in the United States 🌎 First, let’s talk about how Climbing Kites got its name… Before Climbing Kites was what it is today, it was just a seed of an idea in Zack Dunbar's brain. Zack is our Co-Founder and Director of Innovation, and our brand wouldn’t be here without him! (And many other lovely people of course.) He was going to name his band ‘Climbing Kites.’ At the same time, the hemp beverage category was exploding, and he knew he had to dive in. He took the name with him. And now, more than two years later, Climbing Kites has grown in distribution, innovation, reputation, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thanks for being on this journey with us. ❤️ What else do you want to know about our company?

And for today's episode of "Fridge Features", out in DC, we are ready for 2025's "New Year New You" season...and apparently a liquid diet. Just kidding (kinda). It might be a "new me" kind of year, but I'll still be on my ol' low dose THC beverage soapbox! When I look back at this past year, over 30 conferences/shows, countless webinars and calls with distributors and retailers, constantly shifting regulations, lobbying on the Hill with the Coalition for Adult Beverage Alternatives, Farm Bill getting pushed out a year...so much, but we really have come so far! 2024 was a rollercoaster in so many ways for me, but a lot of these beverages kept me relatively cool and collected (and their teams are even better, but these beverages are pretty damn good!). While a lot of change is coming for me next year (and positive change), lord knows our industry isn't slowing down anytime soon so my "fridge features" are coming with me to 2025! On that note, as we look toward 2025, the Coalition for Adult Beverage Alternatives, which is uniting the THC beverage and alcohol industries for federal education and sensible regulation, is hard launching next month and we'll hit the ground running onboarding supporters. If you and I have spoken over the past couple months about being a supporter, I will be reaching out to you directly during "circle back" season in early January with the membership form. If you'd like more information, please email me at diana@adultbevalt.org! NOTE: Obviously, there are many beverages I've tried that I enjoy that currently aren't in my fridge so this is by no means a ranking! My apologies to Rebel Rabbit High Seltzer, Keef Brands, Bayou City Hemp Company - I just ran out of your drinks! Hippie Water - my order just shipped, so excited! Also not pictured: The beverages I keep stocked in my bar! Happy (almost) New Year! #drinkcannabis #beverageindustry #beverage #happynewyear #newyearnewyou #2025

Let's #learn 🤓 You asked, we answered... We want to educate you about everything T H C. From side effects, to the difference between Deltas, and the ingredients you're putting in your body, we're here to help! What else do you want to know? 🧐

Let's #learn 🤓 It’s not indica, it’s not sativa, it’s social. We think a 1:1 blend of ⓉⒽⒸ to CBD brings out the best in both of our favorite cannabinoids. Our social blend is perfect for a night out with friends or a night at home on the couch with your favorite show. Either way, paranoia is not invited to the party! Sometimes ⓉⒽⒸ on its own can be overwhelming — a little CBD in the mix can help balance things out nicely. The two work great together. The more, the merrier!

Lab testing is a huge part of the Climbing Kites process. Every single batch of our beverages undergoes third party lab testing, which means a company that has no association to ours examines the product. (Shoutout Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs!) They're checking the quality of ingredients and the potency to make sure they align with our standards. Every can of climbing kites has a unique QR code that leads back to the testing information for that batch. This is called the Certificate of Analysis. Transparency and high standards are at the heart of why we do what we do. We believe access to information about what you're consuming is important! #thc #education #lab #hemp #climbingkites
