Welcome to Thirsty Thursdays @3PM EST!
My name is Jessie Ott, the Host of this Podcast which is all about Beverage Innovation. I talk with Innovation Pioneers from Agriculture to Glass.
This week I spoke with Thomas Angel Co-Founder of Altitude Beverages in Bend, Oregon.
Thomas and his wife started Altitude Beverages because they wanted to create a coffee alternative for those that are in the CBD and Better-for-you beverage space. Their coffee alternative drinks are all Nitro cocktails that you actually shake before opening. They are smooth beverages mixed with Oatmilk, my favorite, 30mg of CBD, and Adaptogens which assist you in getting your day started. These are feel-good ingredients like Lion’s Mane for FOCUS, Chaga for immunity, and Reishi for gut health just to name a few.
They didn’t stop there. Next was all about the afternoon happy hour time you spend with your loved ones discussing your day. They were wanting a non-alcoholic option that helped you wind down. So, just like getting your day started, they wanted to help you wind down just the same.
They created three very different mocktails that have 20mg of CBD and are all based with white tea and a few bubbles. These adaptogens are for a nice recovery to the end of your day with Gaba, for calm, L-Thianine for relaxation and 5-HTP for serotonin.
Thomas had a very unusual journey into the beverage space and his story is one of kind. I don’t know a lot of Americans that speak Chinese, let alone one that ended up working for the President of Boeing living in Beijing, China. He tells his journey working at Boeing for 10 years and why he and his wife started Altitude Beverages.
