Green Monke Expands Distribution of Hemp-Derived Beverages to Nine States

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 flagship 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, social alcohol alternative. The partnership with Cookies, the most recognized cannabis brand worldwide, 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 time as South Carolina implements new regulations clarifying the legality of hemp-derived THC products. State Solicitor General Robert Cook's recent opinion confirmed that beverages compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill, including those adhering to delta-9 THC limits, are fully legal. This regulatory clarity provides a stable framework for businesses like Green Monke to confidently expand within the state.

Green Monke's innovative hemp-derived THC beverages are now accessible to a combined population of more than 80 million consumers across nine states, including Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and now South Carolina. The brand's presence in high-traffic environments such as liquor stores, major retailers, bars, restaurants, and event venues like Enmarket Arena and The Pabst Theater Group properties underscores its mission to lead the THC beverage category.

By building strong distribution partnerships and securing placements in diverse social settings, Green Monke continues to set the standard for quality, taste, and cultural relevance in the hemp beverage market.
