Anheuser-Busch Inbev teams with Tilray, looks to become the next big thing in cannabis

Fluent Beverage Company, a joint venture between beverage industry titan Anheuser-Busch InBev and Tilray, a pioneer in legal cannabis, announced plans this week to commercialize non-alcohol CBD-infused beverages in Canada, once regulations allow.

Fluent is already deep into testing and research of THC infused non-alcoholic beverages, but the path to nationwide and international distribution of products has a clear path through CBD at this time.

“We have assembled a team with best-in-class expertise from the beverage and cannabis industries and together we are reaching higher for our consumers, with a shared commitment to setting the standard for product quality and responsible marketing,” said Fluent CEO Jorn Socquet.

The company plans to have a full line on retail shelves in December of this year, subject to regulation.
