Acquisition Opportunity UPTIME Energy acquired Rise Brewing Co., unlocking strategic resources and product line expansion; leverage this to pitch retailers and distributors about a new glass bottle format and enhanced in-store visibility in grocery and c-store channels.

Retail Packaging New glass bottle line aimed at c-stores opens opportunities for premium, on-the-go packaging; target distributors specializing in convenience and small-format retailers; propose shelf-ready packaging and in-store displays.

Wholesale Expansion Past distribution partnerships and ongoing organic/non-dairy focus position Rise as a versatile partner for away-from-home and mainstream retailers; develop a wholesale playbook with tiered SKUs, pricing, and co-marketing plans.

Hospitality On-Prem Strong on-tap pedigree and collaborations indicate appeal to cafes, restaurants, and hotels; approach beverage distributors and equipment suppliers to enable nitro taps and portable kegs, plus potential for private-label or co-branded beverages.

Sustainability DTC Organic ingredients and NPCA partnership support sustainability storytelling; complement with DTC strategy via Recharge and Mailgun for subscriptions, bundles with oat milks, and retailer-focused campaigns highlighting eco-friendly sourcing, helping retailers differentiate.
