If you’re familiar with Verist, you know that everything we do is rooted in our Minnesota heritage. For more than 130 years, our family has farmed the same land in the Minnesota River Valley with the belief that the best crops are grown with care. That same philosophy is why we craft our THC-infused seltzers not just to be sipped, but to be savored. Light, crisp and refreshing, all of our seltzer flavors are made to be effortlessly enjoyable—and lately, they’ve been generating quite a buzz.
FLAVORS THAT WIN MEDALS
Recently, the care and commitment we put into our THC-infused seltzers was recognized in a big way. At the 2025 High Spirits Awards—a competition judged by cannabis and infused beverage experts from around the country—our seltzers stood out among hundreds of esteemed entries, with all four flavors earning national honors: One silver. Three bronzes. Four medals total. Not that we’re counting (but we definitely are).
For us, this exciting recognition isn’t just about winning medals. It’s proof that staying true to what matters to us—thoughtful production, honest ingredients, a consistent experience and a commitment to great flavor—really does make a difference, and we share our wins with everyone who’s supported us.
NOW, LET’S RAISE A CAN!
When we first launched our THC-infused seltzers, we packaged them in glass bottles because that was the best way to preserve and protect both potency and flavor—a non-negotiable for us. But as sales grew and our seltzers started popping up at Minnesota beach days, boat outings, backyard gatherings and more, one thing became clear: the best package for the product may not be the most convenient for our customers.
That shift pushed us to explore cans—but if we were going to change our packaging, we knew it would have to meet our high standards. The truth is, many low-cost aluminum options compromise product flavor and potency, and that wasn’t a trade-off we were willing to make. So finally, after months of research, we found the solution: a protective can liner that keeps every sip smooth and consistent, no matter how long it sits in your fridge. It’s a decision we’re excited about, and we hope you will be too.
Along with the switch to cans comes a change in dosage: all four of our award-winning seltzer flavors now feature 10 mg of THC per can, derived—as always—from single-origin hemp grown on our family farm. That makes them perfect for sipping solo or sharing with a friend, depending on your desired effects. Whether you choose Cranberry Lime Spritz, Blood Orange Pom Spritz, Lemon Spritz or Strawberry Mint Spritz (or all four!), you can trust that you’ll get the same refreshing taste and reliably elevating experience in every can you crack.
From our family to your hands, we’re excited to share these major seltzer updates! One quick note on availability, though: Because we’re a family-owned, locally run small business, it may take time for our cans to roll out to retailers. If you don’t see us at your favorite shop, bar or restaurant, please ask for us, or fill out the form under our Store Locator so we can work with our distributors to help get it there! We greatly appreciate your support.
Thanks as always for your support of Verist. Cheers!
