Cannabis and Craft Beer Combine; #CBD Infused Beverages Coming Soon: (NYSE: $HEXO) (OTC: $HIPH) (OTC: $SIPC) (NASDAQ: $TLRY)


Cannabis and Craft Beer Combine; #CBD Infused Beverages Coming Soon: (NYSE: $HEXO) (OTC: $HIPH) (OTC: $SIPC) (NASDAQ: $TLRY)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - March 19, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at how the craft beer industry and the CBD sector are joining forces to bring CBD infused beer to consumers.

New Frontier Data estimates that overall domestic cannabis sales grew 6.7% in 2018, while alcohol sales grew at 5% year over year (source: bw166). It’s clear to see why the marrying of the two sectors is underway.


Craft beer and cannabis seem to be moving forward hand-in-hand as more and more cannabis companies look for partnership agreements with public or private brewers to bring CBD-infused beers to market. This has come in many forms including Province Brands’ beer brewed directly from cannabis and hemp, or Michigan’s Founders Brewery which is working with CBD oil in their beers.

In October 2018, Molson Coors Canada, the Canadian business unit of Molson Coors Brewing Company and HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE:HEXO) announced the formation of their joint venture, Truss, led by former Molson Coors executive, Brett Vye, in the role of Chief Executive Officer.

Since this news however, Hexo has been quiet on its CBD Beer venture and we will most likely have to wait until closer to October of this year, when Canada is expected to legalize infused beverages and edibles, to hear more news on this front.

American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) may not be waiting until October to have products hit shelves, as they recently announced an agreement with Hanlons Brewery in England to produce beer infused with CBD using the Company’s proprietary formulation. Testing will begin immediately on the combination of the Company’s proprietary hydro-nano CBD formulation with Hanlon’s beer, with commercial sales to be determined at a later date.
         
CEO of American Premium Water Corporation, Ryan Fishoff commented, “I am excited to announce that the Company has entered to an agreement with Hanlons brewery in the UK. This is a very exciting partnership that provides numerous possibilities for monetization, and brand recognition on the European continent. The liquor and beer industry has been very fascinated with the introduction of CBD into the market, and this partnership affords us the opportunity to step into the discussion with the larger players in the market. We’re going to begin experimenting with the process of combining beer and the CBD formulations immediately. The goal will be to have a product available for commercial sale as soon as possible. I will keep shareholders abreast when there are developments on bringing the product to market.”

According to Mordor Intelligence, the European beer market is estimated to be around $185 Billion in size, which presents a huge opportunity for HIPH as the Company prepares to enter into such a large market.

Sipp Industries, Inc. (OTC: SIPC), a newcomer to the space and the first publicly traded company in America whose primary focus is the production and sales of hemp-infused beer is looking to the US, having announced that it has submitted a new Cannabidiol (CBD) beer formula to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).
Sipp Industries’ CBD-infused beer formula has been under development since 2017 when the first test batch was produced and the Company submitted its final version of this Hemp and CBD-infused craft beer recipe in February along with all of the required regulatory documentation, including sourcing data and laboratory testing.
Much like Hexo and Molson, we are still awaiting news from Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), a global leader in cannabis research, cultivation, production and distribution, and Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV on their infused beverage program which was also announced late last year. That doesn’t mean the company has been silent, as Tilray recently announced the closing of a definitive agreement in which Tilray has acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of FHF Holdings Ltd. (“Manitoba Harvest”) for an aggregate maximum purchase price of C$419 million.
By leveraging Manitoba Harvest’s established distribution network, Tilray plans to accelerate its expansion into US and Canadian markets, where legal, for CBD products.
With so many beer/CBD product developments in the works, the big question now is “who will have their products ready for the next shift in legalization?” Bigger producers like Canopy and Constellation or Hexo and Molson may have a distribution edge but will their beers hold up against smaller craft brewers? We’ve seen the ‘crafters’ take significant market share from large producers over the past few decades, we’ll have to wait to see if they can do it again with a new generation of brews.

#Cannabis Goes Next-Gen: Moving From Retail to E-Commerce; (TSXV: $RIV.V), (OTCQB: $NEXCF) (CSE: $NATR.C), (TSXV: $FAF.V), (CSE: $CHOO.C)

#Cannabis Goes Next-Gen: Moving From Retail to E-Commerce; (TSXV: $RIV.V), (OTCQB: $NEXCF) (CSE: $NATR.C), (TSXV: $FAF.V), (CSE: $CHOO.C)




Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – March 19, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering tech and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the future of cannabis sales as companies focus on next-gen tech and e-commerce platforms.

E-commerce has decimated the retail sector over the past decade, and while in its early days, ‘brick and mortar’ and retail operations were a key in the cannabis sector for gaining early financial momentum, it seems the cannabis industry is looking to the future. Now, with less restrictions and regulations surrounding the market, cannabis companies are looking to establish proper e-commerce as many see it as the future of this, if not most other industries.


Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSXV: RIV.V), the investment firm offshoot of Canopy Growth Inc. and LeafLink, Inc. recently announced the establishment of LeafLink Services International ULC, a new venture that exclusively licenses and leverages LeafLink’s dominant business-to-business (B2B) marketplace and supply chain technology platform for deployment throughout regulated international cannabis markets.

“We have been very impressed with LeafLink’s deep market penetration and their understanding of cannabis companies’ needs and behaviors,” said Narbé Alexandrian, President of Canopy Rivers. “The number of brands and products within our new cannabis economy has been explosive, making it difficult for retailers to deal with multiple parties in an increasingly fragmented market. As regulated cannabis consumption and distribution proliferates around the world, LeafLink International will introduce the industry’s leading SaaS-enabled marketplace to the global stage to create a new standard for expediting the cannabis supply chain in regulated markets.”

NexTech AR Solutions (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) is a company focused on bringing next generation, web enabled augmented reality (AR) platforms with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and analytics to the e-commerce, education, training, healthcare, video conferencing and cannabis sector. Having already worked with Cannvas Medtech and Premier Health in the cannabis sector, NexTech recently announced that it has signed an LOI to acquire an e-commerce business that generated USD $1.9 million in revenue and $560,000 in EBITDA in 2018, for the purchase price of $1,850,000 in cash.

"This LOI sets the stage for our third acquisition in 2019 and upon closing would push our Commerce business toward a projected USD $5 million in revenue and $1 million in EBITDA for 2019," said Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech. "Since going public we have been focused on both launching our AR platforms around our three verticals, AR eCommerce, AR university, and AR live streaming, and a growth-by-acquisition strategy that we continue to execute on.”

NexTech has already closed on two acquisitions in 2019 - one in January and one in February - and has also entered into a separate LOI in March as part of its strategy to grow through the acquisition of revenue generating companies that possess industry-leading technologies.

Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSXV: FAF), an independent, licensed cannabis retailer is also looking to the future, having announced that the Company has launched its e-commerce platform to sell adult-use recreational cannabis to customers in the province of Saskatchewan and accessory products to customers across Canada.

"The launch of our e-commerce platform demonstrates Fire & Flower's commitment as a technology-focused and data-driven retailer," shared Trevor Fencott, Fire & Flower's Chief Executive Officer. "Our intuitive e-commerce platform is leading the industry as a digital retailer in the emerging recreational cannabis market."

The e-commerce platform was developed by Fire & Flower's digital product studio, HiFyre Inc. which was acquired by Fire & Flower in July of 2018. HiFyre Inc. has significant cannabis experience, working in the legal cannabis industry for the past six years with clients including Mettrum Health Corp., Starseed Medicinal Inc. and Canopy Growth Corporation.

Choom™ (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF), a Canadian cannabis retail company also announced the completion of its e-commerce platform.

Choom, through a licensed enterprise-level platform, has completed the build out of a top tier e-commerce retail solution. This online storefront will provide a customized shopping experience that's integrated with Choom's retail stores and capable of scaling to $500M+ annually. Choom has ensured the platform's flexibility to compliantly handle both B2C and B2B sales to service and sell to any type of buyer in the cannabis industry.

This online growth for Choom is good news for Aurora Cannabis Inc., who recently invested $27 million in the Choom private placement and the convertible debenture offering. The money helped Choom in achieving “a number of its strategic growth initiatives,” Aurora said in a statement recently, including their e-commerce launch.

We can expect to see more adoption of AR, VR, AI and other next-gen tech solutions in the cannabis space as the industry looks further away from the retail sales strategy of the past and into the online interactive sales of the future.

Delta, Kelowna, BC –March 18, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its potcast site, www.potcasts.ca  release today’s edition of Investorideas.com potcastsCM - cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

Listen to the podcast:



Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com “potcast”, looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Today we are looking at announcements from Zenabis Global Inc. (TSXV: ZENA) (OTC:ZBISF), Harvest One Cannabis Inc. (TSXV: HVT) (OTCQX: HRVOF), American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH), Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSXV: RIV.V) and Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. (CSE: LDS), (OTCQX: LDSYF).

Zenabis Global Incannounced today that it is now licensed to process and sell cannabis oil products in Canada. The license enables Zenabis to now sell cannabis oil produced at its Atholville, New Brunswick facility, one of the largest indoor cannabis growing facilities in Canada, where Zenabis was already processing oil. Zenabis expects to market and sell cannabis oil products to its medical clients and to adult use consumers through supply and distribution agreements that Zenabis has in place with nine Canadian jurisdictions including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and the Yukon.

Zenabis expects to have its initial cannabis oil products available for sale in both the medical and adult use markets by early Q2, 2019, and will be launching additional formats and formulations throughout the year.

"This approval provides us with the ability to serve new and existing customers with an expanded range of adult use and medical products through new and easy to use consumption methods. This product category is incredibly important for Zenabis, as it supports our overall growth and product leadership strategy," said Andrew Grieve, Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis. "Ingestion of cannabis oil tends to offer a longer lasting effect than vaping or smoking dried cannabis, providing medical clients and adult use consumers with a broader set of options in Zenabis products. We look forward to bringing our cannabis oil products to market and continuing to innovate and expand our product offerings. In addition, with this update to our Atholville processing license, we now have the capacity to develop a variety of additional value-added cannabis oil products, and cannabis extract products consistent with the proposed amendments to the Cannabis Regulations that allow for greater product diversity."

Zenabis Global Inc. also announced its incorporation into the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF (TSX: HMMJ).

"Zenabis was one of BlackShire's first investments and remains a marquee holding of the firm. Led by experienced founding family operators, Zenabis has the potential for the third largest production capacity in the world. It is currently serving the Canadian marketplace, generating revenue with plans to expand internationally. We believe that as the company becomes better known, investors will better situate it amongst its market peers" said BlackShire Capital Chairman and CEO, Kevin Reed.

As the world's first ETF that offers direct exposure to North American-listed securities involved with cannabis production, the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF is designed to provide exposure to the performance of North American publicly listed life sciences companies with significant business activities in the cannabis industry.

"The inclusion of Zenabis in the Horizons ETF showcases the organization's strength, giving it needed exposure to new investors who want to support its exciting growth plans" added Reed.


Harvest One Cannabis Inc., through it's wholly-owned subsidiary United Greeneries Ltd. today announced that it has entered into an agreement to become a medical cannabis supplier to Shoppers Drug Mart.

Under the terms of the agreement, Harvest One will supply Shoppers Drug Mart with Satipharm branded medical cannabis products. The products will be sold online, as Canadian regulations restrict the sale of medical cannabis in retail pharmacies.

This marks the first time that Satipharm branded cannabis will be available for purchase.  Working in conjunction with Shoppers Drug Mart in an effort to help consumers make specific, educated decisions about their purchases, Satipharm will be available in a continuum of products, each colour coded to indicate their place on the progression from the high THC of SatiWhite™ to the high CBD of SatiPurple™.

At launch, United Greeneries will produce and ship an Indica variety of SatiSilver™ and a hybrid variety of SatiGreen™.
         
"We are incredibly proud to be working with Shoppers Drug Mart to supply them with our premium, indoor grown cannabis under the Satipharm health and wellness brand" said Grant Froese, CEO of Harvest One. "We see this supply agreement as a further step towards fulfilling our vision of being a vertically integrated house of brands in the cannabis health, wellness, and self-care sector.  We continue to expand our capacity to support our growing brand portfolio which includes our recently announced transaction with Delivra as well as our existing brands Dream Water, Satipharm, Royal High, and Captain's Choice" he added.

American Premium Water Corporation announced that it has an agreement with Hanlons Brewery in England to produce beer infused with CBD using the Company’s proprietary formulation. Testing will begin immediately on the combination of the Company’s proprietary hydro-nano CBD formulation with Hanlons’s beer, with commercial sale to be determined at a later date.

CEO American Premium Water Corporation, Ryan Fishoff commented, “I am excited to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement with Hanlons brewery in the UK. This is a very exciting partnership that provides numerous possibilities for monetization, and brand recognition on the European continent. The liquor and beer industry has been very fascinated with the introduction of CBD into the market, and this partnership affords us the opportunity to step into the discussion with the larger players in the market. We’re going to begin experimenting with the process of combining beer and the CBD formulations immediately. The goal will be to have a product available for commercial sale as soon as possible. I will keep shareholders abreast when there are developments on bringing the product to market.”

Canopy Rivers Inc. and LeafLink, Inc. announced the establishment of LeafLink Services International ULC, a new venture that exclusively licenses and leverages LeafLink’s dominant business-to-business (B2B) marketplace and supply chain technology platform for deployment throughout regulated international cannabis markets.

LeafLink is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) marketplace that simplifies the supply chain through its e-commerce platform. The company has a growing network of more than 950 cannabis brands, and penetration throughout ~2,800 cannabis retailers across 16 territories in the United States. LeafLink has established the single largest B2B marketplace for cannabis brands and facilitates more than US$900 million in gross merchandise value annually. Retailers use LeafLink for managing their wholesale inventory, enabling them to shop multiple vendors in one cart, view up-to-date product and brand menus, review historical and open orders, discover new products, and request samples. LeafLink further serves vendors by offering supplementary tools such as order management, a customer relationship management (CRM) platform, inventory tracking tools, and customized reporting
systems, among other services.  

“We have been very impressed with LeafLink’s deep market penetration and their understanding of cannabis companies’ needs and behaviors,” said Narbé Alexandrian, President of Canopy Rivers. “The number of brands and products within our new cannabis economy has been explosive, making it difficult for retailers to deal with multiple parties in an increasingly fragmented market. As regulated cannabis consumption and distribution proliferates around the world, LeafLink International will introduce the industry’s leading SaaS-enabled marketplace to the global stage to create a new standard for expediting the cannabis supply chain in regulated markets.”

By creating this new joint venture, Canopy Rivers continues to expand its exposure across the cannabis value chain through a capital-light, market-leading B2B platform that is immediately scalable across legal jurisdictions. Canopy Rivers intends to integrate its network of complementary cannabis companies and global reach to drive growth for LeafLink International and assist in developing and deploying this technology as it continues to increase its global footprint.

Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. announced that its subsidiary, CSPA Group, Inc., has delivered its second large batch of Rêveur live resin to Rise Distribution ("Rise"). Simultaneously with the second batch delivery, Rise has placed Rêveur in five new stores
bringing the total to 20 stores.

CSPA has received a purchase order from Rise Distribution for five more strains of Rêveur live resin product. The Rêveur live resin has successfully passed California State testing and all new packaging compliance regulations. CSPA Group successfully delivered the new batch of Rêveur to Rise Distribution on March 13th 2019. Rise Distribution will quickly restock Rêveur into dispensaries ensuring that customers have continued access to Rêveur products.

Casey Fenwick, President of LDS, stated, "The fact that Rise has a need for the second batch of Rêveur product so quickly shows the product has a demand. Also, CSPA demonstrates that it has a repeatable process by providing completely different strains, again being able to pass California's strict testing requirements and comply with the new packaging laws. CSPA and its process for manufacturing Rêveur can continually supply California's growing recreational market."

The Company's CEO, Brad Eckenweiler, stated, "We knew that Rêveur live resin would be a great product because of where we sourced the starting material coupled with the state-of-the-art facility we have built over the last three years. Rêveur's success is a product of the hard work the Company and its licensed subsidiaries have put in. Making sure its operating subsidiaries have all necessary state/local licensing, as well as the time spent completing a facility capable of making a product people repeatedly purchase. With the new ability to grow our own starting material from seed, extract it, and deliver it straight to consumers' homes, we are excited for the future of the brand and the Company."
