READY TO DRINK

New York City-born RISE Brewing Co.'s nitro cold brew coffee has
become a well-established breakroom favorite over the past few years.
Its flagship organic Original Black
is naturally sweet (with no added
sugar), high in caffeine, low in acidity
and dairy free, with a smooth, frothy
texture. RISE also offers a line of
organic oat milk lattes.
RISE is available in kegs and in
shelf-stable 7-fl.oz. ready-to-drink
cans in a variety of flavors. The lineup
became available through Dot Foods
starting Feb. 22 to make the drinks
more accessible to OCS, vending
and micro market operators.

" Helping our partners manage
inventory risk is going to be a big part
of our strategy in 2021, and we feel Dot
is going to be a part of that story, " said
RISE director of sales for foodservice,
OCS and on-premise Jared Ray. " With
Dot as a partner, our distributors will
be able to order just a few cases or kegs
at a time to serve their clients' needs. "
Ray added that many operators
and clients who formerly purchased

RISE kegs are now also adding their
shelf-stable 7-fl.oz. cans. " They
provide an easy solution that is more
hands-free and equipment-light than
kegs, " he explained. " We also work
with several different companies that
offer touchless dispensing for cold
brew kegs, but we are finding the easiest solution is the simplest - and that
is our 7-fl.oz. cans. "
