Beverage Co-packing
New River Distilling
New River Distilling Company offers full-service beverage co-packing tailored to craft producers seeking reliable, scalable production with a focus on quality and flexibility.
-
Work with our formulation team to translate your concept into a reproducible beverage. We support spirits-based cocktails, ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, mixers, botanical infusions, and hemp-forward formulations.
-
Formulators combine sensory science with process constraints to optimize flavor stability, mouthfeel, shelf life, and regulatory compliance (label claims, alcohol content, hemp/CBD considerations).
-
Small-scale pilot runs allow sensory evaluation and iterative refinement before production scaling.
-
We can incorporate client-supplied ingredients or source specialty components through established vendor relationships while documenting provenance and quality.
Unrendered Quality Control
-
Incoming ingredients are evaluated for identity, purity, and certificate-of-analysis verification before acceptance.
-
Batch records include temperature, pH, specific gravity, alcohol by volume (ABV), cannabinoid potency when applicable, and microbial testing checkpoints to ensure consistent product integrity.
-
Samples are retained and tracked without alteration (unrendered) to support traceability and post-production analysis. This enables accurate stability studies, recall readiness, and transparent verification of finished product attributes.
-
Comprehensive testing includes sensory evaluation, potency/ABV confirmation, particulate and microbial screens, and packaging integrity checks. Results are recorded in secure quality documentation accessible to clients.
-
QC workflows are designed to meet applicable federal and state requirements for alcoholic beverages and hemp-derived products.
Flexible Line Times
-
Production windows are allocated to accommodate seasonal launches, small-batch artisans, and high-volume runs. We offer short-notice flexibility when capacity allows.
-
A range of fill options (bottles, cans, kegs, bulk) and label/closure accommodations to match market needs and reduce changeover time.
-
Minimums are designed to support micro-runs for craft brands while allowing easy ramp-up to larger volumes as demand grows.
-
Standardized changeover procedures minimize downtime between SKU runs while maintaining sanitation and product segregation.
-
Coordinated raw material staging and finished-goods staging reduce line interruptions; optional warehousing and fulfillment services can smooth seasonal demand cycles.
