B.C.-based cannabis producer targeting entry into high margin, high barrier cannabis beverage segment in 2019, pending new regulations

VANCOUVER, May 29, 2019 /CNW/ - B.C.-based Sungrown cannabis producer Tantalus Labs , announced today that it has entered into a letter of intent (LOI) with the founders of leading British Columbian beverage makers Postmark Brewing and Craft Collective Beerworks. Through the LOI, the companies intend to design, develop, and implement a production line of cannabis infused beverages (when legally permitted) targeting a 2019 product launch.

Postmark Brewing co-founder and brand visionary Steve Thorp, and Andrew Harris, co-founder of Craft Collective Beerworks, have notable experience in production line design, beverage formulations, and marketing in a regulated environment. As proven operators, their expertise will compliment Tantalus Labs' knowledge of quality cannabis production.

"We wanted to partner with a team who puts product quality at the forefront of their brand. Tantalus Labs is a global leader in these core competencies, and together we will deliver products that will shift the paradigm of cannabis consumption," says Steve Thorp, Co-Founder of Postmark Brewing.

The group is targeting execution of a definitive agreement in the coming months.
