New York’s first legal cannabis beverages went on shelves Thursday, when Housing Works Cannabis Co in Manhattan began selling ayrloom’s THC-infused sparkling water.
Ayrloom – a suite of products that include beverages, edibles and vapes – is owned by Gen 5 Labs, which is owned by the family that operates Beak & Skiff, a well-known Central NY apple orchard that also makes and sells CBD products, and alcoholic beverages under their 1911 brand.
Beak and Skiff CFO Mack Hueber said the company is putting a lot of its energy and focus on cannabis-infused beverages, because they think it’s a segment of the weed industry that’s ripe for growth.
