MJ Beverages Co. LLC ‘Mari y Juana™’ Mexican Soft Drink-inspired Beverages to be Manufactured at Tinley’s Long Beach Facility

TORONTO and LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (CSE:TNY, OTC:TNYBF) (“Tinley’s” or the “Company”) is delighted to announce that MJ Beverages Co. LLC’s (“MJ”) ‘Mari y Juana™’ soft drink-style beverages will be produced as four cannabis-infused varieties at Tinley’s bottling facility in Long Beach, California, and distributed by Hardcar Distribution.

MJ Beverage Co.’s ‘Mari y Juana™’ beverages will contain 10 mg of THC along with a blend of flavourful ingredients in each 12 fl. oz. carbonated single-serve bottle. The product line will debut with four flavours inspired by popular Mexican soft drinks that resonate with Latino tastes: Guava (Guayaba), Pineapple (Piña), Mandarin Orange (Mandarina), and Tamarind (Tamarindo).

“MJ is excited and grateful to be able to introduce these infused Mexican-inspired beverages to the California cannabis market,” said Daniel Torres, CEO and Founder, MJ Beverages Co.

With a planned accessible price point, our strategically branded drinks will provide consumers new choices that they can immediately identify with, appreciate, and we hope, remain loyal to for years to come.”

MJ Beverages Co. LLC has joined forces with seasoned cannabis beverages entrepreneur Matt McGinn, bringing him onboard as Chief Global Strategy Officer. Matt will be assisting MJ in its formulation, go-to-market strategy, and product execution. He currently also serves as Chief Strategy Officer and is co-owner of Hardcar Distribution (“Hardcar”), a leading cannabis beverage-focused distributor in California, who will distribute these products.

“The ‘Mari y Juana™’’ brand’s distinctiveness, combined with Tinley’s efficient bottling capabilities and focus on quality make for a powerful combination to drive category growth. I’m thrilled to be a part of this and be able to bring my years of experience to assist in making this collaborative effort with Tinley’s a successful endeavour,” says McGinn.

“The Tinley’s team at Lakewood love these culturally relevant products,” said Douglas Fulton, Tinley’s director, and co-CEO. “We believe that ‘Mari y Juana™’ will drive expanded consumer interest in cannabis infused beverages and overall category growth. Working with MJ and Hardcar will allow Tinley’s Lakewood facility to produce and replenish efficiently, to meet retailer and consumer demand,” he added.
