Zesty Beverages

10/31/2024

The time has come to announce the end of this journey. Zesty is finished.

While this wasn’t the conclusion we envisioned, the beverage landscape is a better place than when we started 8 years ago.

Millions of Americans now reach for “better for you” sodas or sparkling water in place of Big Bev sugar water.

People are learning how to unf*ck their diets.

We’re beginning to understand that a higher level of health brings forth a higher level of consciousness. And maybe that’s all we could have ever hoped for.

The list of people to thank is long and we’ll get there in time.

Next week, we will be at the brewery Monday-Thursday doing a garage sale and welcoming friends. If you feel like stopping by, we’d love to raise one last glass with you.

Cheers to each and everyone of you.

Never fun to deliver bad news, but here's some...It's time for us to say goodbye. The business has been full of peaks and valleys, just like the beautiful landscape that surrounded us in Montana. We've been at this for over 8 years and could just never get the pieces to fall in our favor. So the day has come to put this one out to pasture.

No need to belabor the point or spill too many tears here. There are so many people to thank, so many memories to recollect. And please just know we're grateful for them all.

So, we have a lot of equipment to get out of our space in the Cannery District. We're looking for rigging crews, crane operators, etc to help us get everything to storage or to a new home if any breweries want anything. If you know anyone, send them our way or let us know in the comments/dm. There's also 500 gallons of raw kombucha that has to go somewhere....bring your vessels by so we don't have to send it down the drain!

Thanks for everything y'all and Cheers to your digestive health!

The new .and.country.foods location in Bozeman is open and it feels like home.

These kind folks have been supporting Zesty since we first started putting liquid onto shelves. They stuck with us when others didn’t believe. On God the best place to get groceries in Montana.

Sometimes you just gotta be grateful the products are even on the shelf.

Here’s an example of what might be expected when you’re a small supplier. Products get ideal placements based on sales volume. We weren’t moving enough at this particular store to warrant a better placement. Now we’re in the top corner, out of reach/sightlines for most people.

So, our job is to figure out how to sell more at this store….Thanks for visiting .and.country.foods on east main in Bozeman to stock up on Zesty Bevs.

Big ups to another new retailer in Manhattan with their mighty fine bev selection.

Independent grocery stores like this provide people with limited options better access to good food. Stop by and stock up y’all.

Guess who’s back? has officially opened up in Manhattan!

Did you know some of the first batches of Zesty Booch were brewed in their original location next door to us in the Cannery District?

The roots run deep with those guys and we’re forever grateful for their friendship over the years.

Go check out what Matt & John have put together out there. It’ll make you feel right at home. And you can grab Zesty Bevs in their taproom, which is cool af.

A recent consumer survey by @84.51 indicate some interesting predictions for upcoming holiday expenditures.

We’re elated that 56% of consumers won’t be stocking up on candy. But let’s prove them wrong about cutting back on drinks and have everyone stock up on better for you beverages from Zesty!

In the month of October, we will be offering cases available for purchase at our shop for $40! That’s $1.66 per can! 🤠

You are what your mom eats and this kid’s gonna have a good head start.

Kombucha might have a weird name that’s hard to pronounce, but it’s just a collection of organic acids ( ) created through a naturally-occurring process.

We’re not here to give you advice on pregnancy nutrition but we’ll certainly suggest that you could have better outcomes not always floating the mainstream.

We’re incredibly grateful to have the trust of folks like in the Zesty tribe. Thanks for everything Alissa, you’re a rock star!

TLDR: Coca Cola distributor stifles competition from other beverage brands at local music and arts festival. Independent, scrappy upstart beverage company fights back against corporate greed in the name of public health.

Bottlers and distributors of America's favorite soda manipulate and control your access to beverages AND their business is largely subsidized by YOU!
