Pulp Culture announced an expansion of its category-defining lineup with the release of "BUILD," a protein-boosted hard juice. A super beverage developed with leading alternative protein player The EVERY Co., BUILD (SRP $16.99/4 pack) is the first release in the new hyper-functional Pulp Culture+ line, now nationally available online while supplies last, with brick and mortar retail roll-out to follow.
BUILD by Pulp Culture+ represents a breakthrough in functional beverages: a protein-boosted, Full Spectrum alcoholic beverage that tastes good. The unprecedented partnership behind the beverage celebrates the union of the time-honored art of fermentation with a next-gen spin: while Pulp Culture uses spontaneous fermentation to brew better alcoholic beverages, EVERY is fermenting real animal proteins without animals, leveraging flavor science and technology to make protein consumption accessible with lower impact.
Until now, protein addition was beyond reach for Pulp Culture, which previously struggled to identify a protein that possessed the solubility, texture and neutral taste profile suitable for the brand's premium live-culture beverages. EVERY Protein's performance among leading soluble proteins finally unlocked this super beverage from Pulp Culture, which required zero masking agents, sugar or other unnecessary additives to create its protein-boosted hard juice.
In addition to its novel protein boost thanks to animal-free EVERY Protein, BUILD includes Pulp Culture's unique combination of functional superfoods, super fruits, super mushrooms and probiotics to deliver a premium functional beverage experience tailor-made for active lifestyles. Cordyceps are the powerhouse functional mushrooms in the beverage, and adaptogenic ashwagandha, pineapple, coconut and vanilla round out the ingredients. BUILD contains zero sugar and zero cholesterol, and more than 6 billion CFUs of naturally occurring probiotics.
Converging consumer trends point to growing interest in better-than-ever beverages, with functional, digestive and adaptogenic claims in beverages on the rise. Simultaneously, protein addition has skyrocketed as an area of interest in drinks, as consumers continue to ask more of their products, including around complementarity for active lifestyle. Enabling protein addition in BUILD–effectively unlocking this world's-first super beverage–EVERY Protein is made by precision fermentation, a technique driving today's most exciting alternative proteins and representing a market projected to reach USD 36.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 48.1% in terms of value.
