Brewing the Future: Pure Shenandoah and Honor Brewing

Craft Meets Cannabis

When it comes to innovation in Virginia’s beverage scene, few partnerships stand out like Pure Shenandoah and Honor Brewing Company. What started with a shared vision for quality and craftsmanship has evolved into a pioneering collaboration — blending the art of brewing with the science of hemp extraction.

Known for its veteran-owned heritage and community-first values, Honor Brewing has become a leader in Virginia’s craft beer landscape. Together, our teams have helped shape a new chapter in the Commonwealth’s beverage industry — from the launch of Buzzin’ THC Seltzer to Honor Brewing’s own Silly Goose line of hemp-derived drinks.

From Seed to Sip: A Virginia Collaboration

Every great beverage starts with great ingredients — and that’s where this partnership shines. At Pure Shenandoah, we manage the entire hemp process in-house, from seed to finished product. Grown and extracted in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, our federally legal hemp becomes the foundation for our proprietary, water-soluble cannabinoid formulations — giving breweries a consistent, reliable source of THC that blends seamlessly into any recipe.

Honor Brewing’s expert team takes those cannabinoids and transforms them into refreshing, sessionable beverages that meet their exacting craft standards. The result? Silly Goose THC Seltzer — a light, crisp 2mg drink infused with Pure Shenandoah cannabinoids, brewed and canned by Honor Brewing alongside our own Buzzin line.

For those curious about Honor’s product transparency, you can view their COA catalog directly on their website — a reflection of our shared commitment to compliance and consumer trust.

Manufacturing Partnerships: Bringing Innovation to Your Brewery

This collaboration illustrates how Pure Shenandoah supports breweries across Virginia and beyond through our wholesale cannabinoid and dispersible services.

Our hemp-derived THC emulsions are formulated for beverage production, offering:

  • Consistent dosing and clarity for professional brewing

  • Fast-acting, water-soluble cannabinoids for smoother onset

  • Seamless integration with existing brewing systems

We supply cannabinoids in both bulk and custom formulations, empowering breweries to create their own branded hemp or THC beverages without needing in-house extraction equipment.

If your team is exploring THC or hemp beverage development, Pure Shenandoah provides end-to-end solutions — from formulation and compliance to COAs and distribution guidance.

A Case Study in Craft: Buzzin’ & Silly Goose

Together, Pure Shenandoah and Honor Brewing have created a blueprint for how cannabis extraction and craft brewing can work hand-in-hand.

These success stories show how the right partnership between local hemp growers and breweries can produce compliant, innovative beverages that resonate with both THC newcomers and experienced consumers — offering locally grown, craft alternatives to alcohol.

The Future of THC Beverages in Virginia

As Virginia continues to modernize its hemp and beverage regulations under the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, collaborations like this highlight how responsible innovation can drive local growth.

Industry leaders like MJBiz Daily and Beverage Industry News project that THC beverages could surpass $1 billion in annual U.S. sales by 2025, with hemp-derived formulations leading the charge in compliant markets like Virginia.

Pure Shenandoah is proud to be at the forefront of this evolution — supporting breweries, distributors, and beverage manufacturers with safe, traceable cannabinoids that meet both regulatory and consumer standards.
