FFC Co-Founder and CEO Alison Koplar Wyatt is sitting down with Owl’s Brew Co-Founders Jennie Ripps and Maria Littlefield to discuss their recent fundraise, the all-natural ingredients used in their beverages, their plans for expansion and more!
There’s nothing quite like female empowerment blazing a trail through the brewery industry, and Owl’s Brew brings a twist of tea to boot. Founded by Jennie Ripps and Maria Littlefield, both women had a strong background in blending their own teas in the company Brew Lab before having the idea to introduce the idea of blending tea into cocktails. The pair sought to offer an alcoholic beverage that stood out in a crowd. And they’ve done just that! Jennie and Maria are a testament to the idea that big things happen when vision meets drive.
Owl’s Brew has effortlessly made waves in the health, tea, and alcoholic industries all at once. This innovative and ingenious idea was bound to take off, and it certainly has! Since its launch, the company has experienced 918% growth and recently raised $9M in series A funding. And when it comes to ingredients, Jennie and Maria won’t settle for anything but the best and what’s natural. Maintaining sustainable and clean ingredients, as part of their brand, is a constant endeavor. As the first Clean Boozy Beverage, their mission is to make good, clean (boozy!) drinks accessible and available to everyone.
