Ranchers Beverage Co

Rancher's Beverage Co. is a full-service beverage co-packing and contract manufacturing company based in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, with production operations in St. Paul. Established in 2025 as an extension of the production infrastructure built under Fair State Brewing — which began brewing in Minneapolis in 2014 — the company leverages over a decade of hands-on beverage manufacturing experience to serve a broad range of emerging and established beverage brands. Rancher's Beverage Co. specializes in co-packing craft beer, hard seltzer, hop water, non-alcoholic (NA) beverages, THC-infused beverages, and CBD wellness drinks, making it a versatile partner for brands operating across the rapidly evolving better-for-you and cannabis-adjacent beverage categories.

The company operates a 42,000 square-foot production and warehousing facility purpose-built for flexibility, precision, and scale. Its brewing capabilities support batch sizes of 30, 60, and 90 barrels, with the ability to operate in any 30-barrel increment from pilot runs to full national-scale production. The facility provides precise control over fermentation temperature, carbonation levels, and fill consistency, ensuring repeatable quality across all SKUs. For specialized processing needs, the company maintains external partnerships for pasteurization, de-alcoholization, and non-carbonated beverage processing, extending its capabilities beyond traditional fermented beverages.

Rancher's Beverage Co. operates a full-service canning line supporting multiple can formats including 7.5oz sleek, 8oz sleek, 12oz standard, 12oz sleek, and 16oz standard. The facility also handles keg filling in sixtel and half-barrel formats. Packaging flexibility includes PSA labels, premium shrink-sleeves, date coding, and multi-SKU labeling configurations, supported by dedicated sleek and standard profile can lines to maintain seam integrity and consistent quality assurance.

The facility's integrated warehousing and logistics infrastructure offers short- and long-term climate-controlled storage with organized pallet racking, real-time inventory tracking, and on-site loading docks for freight and palletized shipments. Distribution support includes connections to regional and national distribution networks, as well as direct-to-consumer, wholesale, and retail fulfillment channels, with optimized scheduling designed to reduce lead times and preserve product freshness.

The company distinguishes itself not only as a contract manufacturer but as an active brand builder and operator. Its in-house portfolio includes Fair State craft beer, Chill State THC beverages, HyperCold non-alcoholic beer, and TIBA CBD wellness water — giving Rancher's firsthand insight into the regulatory, formulation, and go-to-market challenges its co-packing clients face. This operational credibility across craft, cannabis, and mainstream CPG categories allows the company to offer deeply informed guidance to brand partners at every stage of product development and scale. The company serves both local and national partners, with scalable operations suited to limited production runs as well as high-volume national rollouts.
