About Us

HempBeverages.com is a curated marketplace for the best hemp-derived THC and CBD beverages in America. Every drink we carry is third-party lab-tested, Farm Bill-compliant, and chosen because we'd actually drink it ourselves — one destination, 22 leading brands, and more than 120 ways to feel good without the hangover.

Why we exist

Hemp beverages are the fastest-growing alcohol alternative in the country — but the category is noisy and confusing. We built HempBeverages.com to be the trusted, transparent place to discover, compare, and buy them: clear dosing, public COAs, honest reviews, and nationwide shipping to the states we serve.

The category, in numbers

This isn't a trend piece. In 2025 the hemp beverage category posted its first independently verified sales data, and it reads like an established business rather than a novelty:

• +133% volume growth year over year — 692,435 to 1,616,075 case equivalents
• 305,653 points of distribution, up 129%, across 43,496 retail accounts
• Velocity rose 12% even as the account base grew 72% — meaning stores that started carrying these drinks kept reordering, and reordered more
• The 6–10mg dose overtook 10mg-plus, the signature of a category moving from enthusiasts to everyday drinkers
