Ken VandeVrede got the idea after years in the cannabis industry out west. Now Kaló, a hemp-infused seltzer billed as an alternative social option to alcoholic brands Truly and White Claw, from the third-generation farmer, is sold across 10 states.

Kaló, a handcrafted, locally-sourced hemp-infused seltzer, announced the expansion of its product portfolio to include four summer-ready new flavors: Black Cherry, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Ginger Lemonade and Blood Orange Mango.

New to cannabis drinks? Well, friend, you came to the right place. I’ve spent the last couple of months taste-testing and researching THC drinks, CBD-infused beverages, and all other sorts of hemp drinks. And I didn’t just do it for my own pleasure, but yours, too!

Hillview-owned hemp-infused seltzer brand, Kaló, is adding four new ‘summer-ready’ flavours to its line-up. The new offerings will be sold in a four-flavour variety pack and include black cherry, ruby red grapefruit, ginger lemonade and blood orange mango variants.

New Jersey hemp-infused seltzer brand Kaló announced today that its products are available in 10 states via 12 tier-one distributor partnerships.

Kaló products are now sold in convenience stores, natural markets, and independent grocery stores across New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee.

I found it was all too easy to mindlessly chug an entire can of Ruby Red Grapefruit after my first Kaló delivery, forgetting all about its purported powers until I melted into my couch like a Jell-O mold.

CBD beverages are becoming more and more popular as CBD's benefits become better known. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in cannabis plants that has been shown to have many benefits. One of the calming herbs, some people use CBD to help with anxiety, pain relief, and even sleep disorders.

Kaló Hemp Infused Seltzer is coming to Maryland store shelves. And rather than start this Brand Profile with what the product is, it’s probably best to educate readers on what it is not. Ivy Wimberley, Kaló’s Director of Trade Development, said it best during a recent interview with the Beverage Journal: “On the sales side, the hardest thing has been getting people to understand the difference between hemp and marijuana. We are NOT a marijuana seltzer! We are a hemp-infused seltzer. A big part of my job has been educating people.”
