Green Monke USA, an award-winning hemp-D9 beverage brand, has significantly expanded its market presence by entering into a distribution agreement with Southern Horizon Logistics in partnership with Southern Crown Partners, South Carolina's premier beer distributor. This collaboration has enabled Green Monke to deliver its full portfolio of eight SKUs, including the Green Monke Happy Soda line and the Cookies by Green Monke collaboration, to consumers across nine states.
Pat Gleeson, CEO of Green Monke, emphasized the brand's commitment to offering premium hemp-derived beverages as a refreshing alternative to alcohol. The partnership with Cookies, a globally recognized cannabis brand, not only enhances Green Monke's cultural credibility but also bridges the gap between legacy connoisseurs and newcomers to THC beverages.
This expansion comes at a pivotal moment as South Carolina implements new regulations clarifying the legality of hemp-derived THC products. State Solicitor General Robert Cook's recent opinion affirms the legality of beverages compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill, including those adhering to delta-9 THC limits. This regulatory clarity provides a stable framework for businesses like Green Monke to expand confidently within the state.
Green Monke's innovative hemp-derived THC beverages are now accessible in over nine states, including Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Carolina, reaching a combined population of more than 80 million consumers. The brand's presence in diverse locations, from liquor stores and major retailers to bars, restaurants, and event venues, underscores its mission to lead the THC beverage category.
By building strong distribution partnerships and securing placements in high-traffic environments, Green Monke continues to set the standard for quality, taste, and cultural relevance in the hemp beverage market.
