Carbliss, a canned cocktail brand based in Plymouth, Wisconsin, has achieved notable recognition by being ranked as America's 7th fastest-growing private company on Inc. magazine's 2024 Inc. 5000 list.
This prestigious list highlights the top 5,000 fastest-growing private companies across the United States based on revenue growth.
Carbliss Ranks 7th on Inc. 5000 List
Founded in 2018 by Adam and Amanda Kroener, Carbliss has seen remarkable growth over the past three years.
The Kroeners from Sheboygan County started the company after struggling to find low-calorie, low-carb cocktails that fit their keto diet. Their solution was to create Carbliss, a range of canned cocktails that includes margaritas, mojitos, and palomas.
According to Milwaukee Journal Street, these beverages are made with vodka, tequila, and rum, each containing only 100 calories with no sugar, carbs, or gluten.
Carbliss products are available in various locations across the Midwest, including Arkansas and Louisiana, and can be purchased online.
The Inc. 5000 list ranks companies based on their revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To be eligible, a company must have had at least $100,000 in revenue in 2020 and at least $2 million in 2023.
According to Inc., Carbliss achieved an extraordinary growth rate of 27,174% during this period, highlighting its significant expansion and success in the competitive beverage market.
Earlier this year, Carbliss also topped the Inc. Regional: Midwest list, which showcases the fastest-growing companies in the 12-state Midwest region.
The company's growth rate from 2020 to 2022 was an impressive 7,127%, outpacing the second-place company, Vyper Industrial from Green Bay, which had a growth rate of 2,613%. This regional accolade further underscores Carbliss's rapid rise and market impact.
In addition to its national and regional achievements, Carbliss has seen substantial sales growth. The company sold over 1 million cans in 2021, with sales continuing to increase into 2022.
Carbliss's products are now available at bars and grocery stores in 12 states, reflecting its broadening market presence. The brand's low-calorie, low-carb cocktails cater to those following specific dietary plans, and the Kroeners have positioned Carbliss as a healthier alternative in the alcoholic beverage market.
Adam Kroener has noted that the flavors of Carbliss cocktails are so well-crafted that the taste of alcohol is barely detectable, making them appealing to a wide audience.
