A Summerland entrepreneur making fruit sodas has been named one of BC Business香蕉视频直播檚 30 Under 30 recipients.

Andrew Warburton, founder of Peak Beverage Co., created the company two years ago to create craft-style, alcohol-free beverages. He said he wanted to create beverages with the same quality and dedication he saw at breweries, wineries, distilleries and cideries.

香蕉视频直播淭he goal is to produce unique flavours, B.C.-inspired and with no artificial flavours or ingredients,香蕉视频直播� he said.

His soft drinks include haskap lemonade and apple rhubarb drinks, which he promotes as all-natural premium fruit sodas. 

Now 22, Warburton got the idea for the business in 2020, when he graduated from high school. 

He learned to create the beverages by trial and error, extensive testing and a lot of research.

Initially, the beverages were produced in his parents香蕉视频直播� garage, but in August 2024, he found a co-packer in order to keep up with the growing demand. Since that time, he has scaled up production five times in order to meet demands.

Warburton believes the growing popularity of his beverages comes because of changing patterns among consumers.
