CHICAGO, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — US Agra Supply and Logistics, a leading provider of high-quality ingredients for hemp-derived products, will exhibit its extensive beverage selection at this year’s Hemp Beverage Expo, July 9th – 11th, in Atlanta, Georgia.
A sober-curious lifestyle trend is taking hold, with nearly one in two Americans trying to drink less alcohol in 2025, a 44% increase since 2023. As alcohol sales dwindle across the country, this year’s Expo is an opportunity for distributors and retailers to replace lost revenues with new and innovative hemp-infused products.
The journey began five years ago when Blake Villa and his wife, Allison, decided to make a lifestyle change by abstaining from alcohol. Already experienced in the cannabis beverage arena, Villa sought to develop a product that would truly harness the potential of this remarkable plant, offering consumers trusted and controlled options.
Villa founded Qwik Liquids, a water-soluble technology company that allows for the solubilization of oil-based ingredients. Qwik Liquids bridges the gap between everyday consumers and cannabinoid biotech. The technology enables faster absorption by the body in recreational products like beverages, mimicking the onset of alcohol.
Around the same time, Mark de Souza was making his exit as the CEO of Revolution Global, an Illinois-based multi-state operator (MSO), intending to develop a company that provides ingredients for the hemp-infused product market. De Souza and Villa joined forces and snagged manufacturing expert Pete Kalantzis, former Head of Operations for Illinois-based cannabis company Verano, forming US Agra Supply and Logistics.
“US Agra is poised to become the Constellation or the Diageo of the hemp beverage space, offering a diverse portfolio that caters to a wide range of demographics,” said Villa. “Whether you’re a fan of THC-infused seltzers and sodas, or 0-proof products with THCV, vitamins, and caffeine, US Agra strives to provide consumers with innovation and value to their everyday lives.”
To date, US Agra owns and operates seven unique brands with 16 total SKUs, including C.R.E.A.M., a collaboration with iconic hip hop legends The Wu-Tang Clan, which took top honors at the 2025 High Spirits Awards for the industry’s Best Tasting Seltzer.
