Hurray's GIRL BEER Announces $5M Funding Round and Retail Expansion into Walmart, Kroger, and Albertsons

Every so often, I come across a press release that makes me stop for a second and think about where the beer industry is headed. This week, one of those moments came with the announcement that Hurray’s Girl Beer has secured a new round of funding as the brand looks to expand its flavored light beer concept across the United States. If you haven’t heard of Girl Beer yet, the Los Angeles–based brand launched in fall 2024 with a very specific mission: bring new drinkers into the beer aisle by focusing on flavor, fun, and a different kind of marketing voice than we typically see from traditional beer brands. Now, with new investment backing and expansion plans underway, the company is positioning 2026 as a major growth year. Let’s break down what’s happening and why it could matter for the beer industry.

Columbia Creek Tennessee Whiskey

I’d like to thank Columbia Creek and their PR partners for providing this sample with no strings attached. The sun is coming out here in Minnesota. The snow is melted, or at least it was. We are in that time of year where you don't know if you need to shovel the driveway or if you can sit on the deck in shorts. And no, I don't mean you folks from more southern climates. In Minnesota, it isn't unusual for folks to be in shorts as soon as the temp hits the 50s in the spring. And by "folks" I mean me. Of course, I tend to wear shorts all year long. I'm not going to let a little thing like the outside weather keep me from being comfortable in my house. That's what blankets are for. I'm stubborn like that. Which leads me nicely to tonight's whiskey. Columbia Creek Tennessee Whiskey is a sourced whiskey out of Columbia, Tennessee, which the press release says is "where mules outnumber stoplights and pride runs as deep as the creeks." They also use the mule as a mascot on the bottle. The comp
