Coquitlam, B.C., January 7, 2026 – , one of Canada’s fastest-growing yerba mate and kombucha beverage brands, has officially transitioned 100 percent of its manufacturing to Canada, marking a significant investment in domestic production and a new chapter in the company’s long-term growth.

Its kombucha line continues to be brewed at Cooler Co.’s facility in Coquitlam, B.C., while its yerba mate is now produced at National Dry in Toronto, Ontario, an organic-certified facility capable of producing up to 800 cans per minute. Together, the two sites form an all-Canadian, coast-to-coast production model.

“Cooler Co. is incredibly proud to bring all of our production home,” says Dan Larsen, Co-Founder and CEO of Cooler Co. “This move represents more than just a shift in geography — it’s a statement of who we are. By manufacturing entirely within Canada, we’re reducing our environmental footprint, strengthening local partnerships, and ensuring every can reflects the innovation, integrity, and energy of the communities that inspire us.”

Cooler Co.’s kombucha is brewed with a focus on freshness, local sourcing, and supporting regional food systems. Made using high-quality, locally grown fruits, flowers, and herbs, the naturally fermented beverage contains organic acids, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, and B vitamins that may support digestion, energy, mood, and immunity. Available flavours include Cherry Cream Soda, Peach Basil, Blueberry Ginger, Lavender Lemonade, Raspberry Rose, and Strawberry Mojito.

Its yerba mate beverages deliver a clean, sustained energy boost powered by 100 percent organic yerba mate caffeine sourced from South America, without the jitters or crashes often associated with synthetic caffeine or conventional energy drinks. Each can contains 150 milligrams of organic yerba mate caffeine and is produced with minimal ingredients. The line has no more than 80 calories per flavour and zero sugar in its unsweetened option. Available flavours include Unsweetened, The OG, Blue Balance, Berry Active, Mighty Mint, and Power Peach.

Larsen was a former chef who who founded the original Culture Craft Kombucha in 2015 before rebranding it to Cooler Co. in 2024 with the addition of yerba mate. His relationships with local farmers and his personal health journey were catalysts in creating a brand focused on low-sugar, nutrient-dense alternatives to mass-produced beverages. 

“When I first started making kombucha, my goal was to create beverages that feel good to drink and good for the people enjoying them,” adds Larsen. “Having Cooler Co. fully made in Canada makes me excited for what’s ahead. We’re already working on developing more flavours and getting our products onto even more Canadian shelves.”

Cooler Co.’s beverages are currently available at retailers across B.C. and Ontario, including (in alphabetical order): Country Grocer, Foxy Farm Market, Fresh Street Market, Greens Market, Healthy Planet, IGA, Langley Farm Market, London Drugs, Nature’s Fare, Save-On-Foods, Stong’s Market, Urban Fare, and Whole Foods.

Customers can find select products on award-winning restaurant menus across Canada. In addition, Cooler Co. is a go-to choice for caterers looking for premium non-alcoholic beverages.
