Generation NA • Functional Bottle Shop & Taproom

10/15/2026

We didn't open a bottle shop to change the world. But somewhere along the way, we realized we had a platform, a voice, and an opportunity to make a difference.

And we're not going to waste it.

There are things currently happening in this country that matter a hell of a lot more than selling drinks.

We believe a small business can be more than just a place to spend money. It can be a place that stands up for its community, starts uncomfortable conversations, and reminds people that their voice matters.

You don't need 70,000 followers to make a difference. You just need the courage to speak up.

Use your voice. Stand up for what you believe in. Get involved. And most importantly, VOTE.

It's time to get our country back on track. 🇺🇸✌️

GENERATION NA IS GOING INTERNATIONAL 🇺🇸 🇯🇵

Today, a news crew from NHK, Japan's national public broadcaster, traveled to Lafayette, Indiana to interview us about the challenges facing small businesses in America.

And of course we had A LOT to say.

Tariffs. Rising costs. The economy. Healthcare. The upcoming h**p ban. And a government that seems increasingly determined to make it harder and harder for small businesses to survive.

We're a tiny, independently owned bottle shop in the middle of Indiana. But the challenges we're facing aren't unique to us. They're being felt by small business owners in communities all across America.

For years, we've used our social media platform to speak up about these issues. Today, we got an opportunity to take that message to an international audience.

Because what's happening to Main Street America deserves the world's attention.

Small businesses aren't asking for special treatment. We're just asking for a fighting chance.

We're proud of what we've built. We're proud of our community. And we're not going to sit quietly while the people making the rules make it harder for businesses like ours to exist.

Our shop may be small. But our voice doesn't have to be.

Thank you NHK for coming all the way to Lafayette to hear our story.

Here's to making some noise for all the small businesses out there fighting. ✊ 🇺🇸 📢

We're having the most successful year in our company's history. Breaking sales records, growing faster than ever, and building something bigger than we ever imagined.

And at the exact same time, we're preparing for the possibility of losing everything we've worked so hard to build.

Not because business is bad. Not because people stopped supporting us. But because lawmakers are threatening to eliminate an entire category of products that helped make this success possible.

It's a strange feeling to be celebrating your biggest wins while simultaneously preparing for your biggest losses.

But that's small business ownership. Some days you're building an empire. Other days you're just trying to keep the doors open.

And sometimes, somehow, you're doing both at once.

To every small business owner out there riding this same roller coaster, we feel you.

Keep fighting friends ✊️

Today, we celebrate the people who were here first.

Their cultures, their resilience, their history, and their continued contributions to the country we now share.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day.

They warned us that speaking up would cost us followers, hurt our business, and get us buried by the algorithm.

And honestly? Some of that happened.

We lost followers. We got hate. Our content was restricted, and Meta stopped recommending us.

But we kept going anyway.

Because standing up for people who need a voice matters more than playing it safe for an algorithm.

And then something unexpected happened.

30k new followers joined us, growing our community to over 70k.

Thanks for making this backfire spectacularly. 🤍

Do your research. Know the candidates. Know where they stand on h**p and the products you love.

With federal restrictions threatening to remove many of your favorite drinks from shelves on December 11, the decisions made in Washington over the coming months matter more than ever.

The outcome isn't set in stone. What happens next will depend on the people making those decisions.

Your vote is your voice. Use it. ✊️
