Industry executives are enthusiastic about future collaborations that would allow them to offer consumers alcohol-free wines and beers infused with cannabis extracts.
A Toronto-based company developing cannabis-infused beverages is aligning with renowned Ontario wineries and breweries keen to test new technologies.
Encouraged by a new agreement between Hill Street Beverage Co. and Vin First Innovative Packaging, a leading wine and mixed beverage manufacturer and co-packer, industry executives are enthusiastic about future collaborations that would allow them to offer consumers alcohol-free wines and beers infused with cannabis extracts.
Following Health Canada’s authorization of Hill Street as a licensed dealer, the company will use patented Lexaria Biosciences Corp. technology to produce cannabis-infused beverages at Vin First’s facilities.
This positions Hill Street as one of the first Canadian companies to be able to bring cannabis-infused beverages to market.
Hill Street recently appointed Cannabis Compliance Inc., the world’s largest cannabis consultancy, to ensure its compliance with anticipated federal legislation that will regulatethe recreational use of cannabis in Canada.
