WeldWerk Brewing Co. Enters the RTD Cocktail Space

GREELEY, CO — WeldWerks Brewing Company is proud to unveil their newest innovative project, booz, an adventurous line of ready-to-drink cocktails designed to create memorable experiences. 

“RTDs felt like a blank canvas for us to stretch our creative muscles, innovate, and craft something to differentiate us from what's already commercially available,” says WeldWerks Head Brewer Skip Schwartz. “WeldWerks has always had a passion for spirits and distillation, thus our extensive barrel-aging program and RTDs seemed like a natural space for us to play and venture into the spirit realm.”

The booz ready-to-drink cocktails have been packaged at Sleeping Giant Brewing Company out of Denver and the canned beverages will be available throughout Colorado at participating retailers in early July. Due to licensing, WeldWerks will not be selling booz at their taproom.

A tribute to the vibrant spirit of the modern Virginia cocktail scene where Schwartz tried an “Orange Crush” cocktail, Orange Creamsicle Crush is WeldWerks’ take on the beloved cocktail which infuses the tang of orange with the rich flavors of vanilla and elevates this ready-to-drink cocktail to new heights of flavor complexity. This 10.5% ABV cocktail-in-a-can brings a bold burst of intense orange soda with each sip that seamlessly transitions into a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Crafted just in time for the summer months, Orange Creamsicle Crush promises to be the refreshing go-to beverage for all your warm-weather gatherings and moments of relaxation.

“PB&J Bourbon Smash is an amalgamation of our love of bourbon barrels and working with flavors like peanut butter and jelly,” says Schwartz. “Can you think of a more WeldWerks thing? Imagine washing down the best PB&J sandwich with a smooth sip of your favorite bourbon!”

 PB&J Bourbon Smash is where the classic comfort of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches meets the rich sophistication of bourbon. This ready-to-drink 12.1% ABV cocktail teases the senses with a pleasant aroma of ripe strawberries intertwined with the mellowness of freshly roasted peanuts, all accented by subtle oak undertones. Experience the velvety smoothness of creamy peanut butter blended with caramel notes of bourbon, perfectly balanced by sweetness from the strawberry. As the flavors rest on your palate, you'll be left with a gentle, satisfying warmth from the alcohol, compelling you to take sip after sip.

Both booz cocktails will be available at participating Colorado retailers in early July.
