History

In May 2015, the company launched out of Brooklyn's Colonie restaurant [4] [5] by serial consumer goods entrepreneur (Hudson Davis-Ross) and a group of childhood friends who met while attending the Brunswick School (Jarrett McGovern, Grant Gyesky, Justin Weinstein). [6] The group started nitro cold-brewing in 2014 out of McGovern's New York City apartment before moving brewing operations into Gyesky's garage [7] and eventually into a brewery located in Connecticut. [8] By July 2017 the brand was available for purchase in retailers in cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and elsewhere. [9] While the company's retail business initially had been focused on the East Coast with distribution in grocers like Whole Foods, [10] independent retailers, and offices, the brand – by January 2018 – expanded into the Pacific Northwest entering Safeway stores as well as independent retailers via Portland Columbia Distributing. [11] There is a production facility in Stamford, Connecticut. [12]

Products

In July 2018, while having previously focused solely on nitro cold brew, the company released a new series of nitro cold brew lattes on Kickstarter: lattes. [13] According to the San Diego Tribune , as of August 2018, the company's Oat Milk and Mocha Latte were the first ready-to-drink beverages in the United States to use organic oat milk. [14] [15] The company has continued to expand its offerings, with the announcement of its first nitrogen-infused canned tea released in June 2020. [16]

As of September 2018, the brand sold online and in-store in the US and parts of Canada, [17] and it has widened its wholesale reach to cover US cities on the East and West Coast as well as the Midwest. [18] In October 2018, the company opened its first flagship location in New York City. [19] [20]

In March 2019, Rise expanded their product offering with the launch of organic oat milk, [21] and in July 2021, they launched a non-nitro cold brew in a multi-serve carton. [22]

Recognition

In March 2019, USA Climbing announced a two-year partnership with Rise Brewing where its nitro cold brew coffee would be the official provider for the organization. [23] Rise Brewing has additionally partnered with local brewery Half Full Brewery to establish the "first and only" hard coffee within the beer market. [24]

Cofounders McGovern and Weinstein were recognized in the Connecticut Magazine 30 Under 40 list in 2019. [25]
