Monarch Beverage

Monarch Beverage is a leading innovator in the development, formulation, and manufacturing of hemp D9-infused and regulated THC-infused beverages, as well as other consumer packaged goods (CPG). With a focus on turnkey solutions, Monarch Beverage provides comprehensive services that span the entire beverage creation process, from initial concept and recipe formulation to co-packing, branding, and national/international distribution. The company operates as a division of Monarch Emulsions, leveraging decades of experience in both the beverage and cannabis industries to deliver high-quality, compliant, and market-ready products for brands of all sizes.\n\nMonarch Beverage’s core differentiators are built on three foundational elements: a team of cannabis and beverage experts with over 30 years of combined experience, a vertically-integrated operations model that allows for in-house control of every stage of beverage development, and a cost-effective co-packing solution with low minimum order quantities (MOQs), making it accessible for both startups and established brands. The company’s owner-operated structure ensures hands-on client engagement throughout each phase of the beverage build, and the addition of industry leaders such as CEO Troy Brosnan (former founder of Levia) further strengthens its expertise and vision.\n\nMonarch Beverage’s service offerings include beverage formulation, flavor profile development, cannabinoid infusion (including standard THC/Hemp D9 and minor cannabinoids), and brand development. The company works with a wide variety of beverage types, including ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, carbonated RTDs, canned non-alcoholic cocktails, seltzers, sodas, sports drinks, teas, elixirs, shots, energy drinks, and plant-based/functional beverages. Monarch’s in-house emulsion technology enables precise and efficient cannabinoid dosing, ensuring product consistency and regulatory compliance.\n\nPackaging options are extensive, with capabilities to fill PET bottles (from ½ oz to 16 oz), glass bottles (8 oz to 16 oz), and cans (8 oz to 12 oz). Monarch’s co-packing facilities are equipped for flexible batch sizes, multiple labeling options, and custom pack-out configurations, ensuring that each product meets the highest standards of quality and presentation.\n\nIn addition to manufacturing, Monarch Beverage offers brand development and marketing services, partnering with top branding firms to help clients design impactful beverage lines and build strong product ecosystems. The company’s distribution network spans both national and international markets, with established relationships across food and beverage channels and support for direct-to-consumer (DTC) fulfillment.\n\nMonarch Beverage’s client base includes both emerging and established CPG brands seeking to enter or expand within the infused beverage market. The company’s flexible, scalable approach makes it the ideal partner for projects of any size, from pilot runs of 1,500 cans to large-scale national rollouts.
