Beverage Studio Program

Your first commercial batch. Done right.

Most co-packers won't talk to you until you have volume. We built the Beverage Studio for the brands that aren't there yet — and have every intention of getting there. Limited spots. High-touch. No shortcuts.

What You Get
  • Formulation and R&D support from operators who have built brands
  • First commercial production run at our Framingham facility
  • Packaging and label guidance — what works on shelf and what doesn't
  • QA, compliance, and spec documentation from day one
  • A clear path to scale — when you're ready, the network is waiting
Who It's For
  • Founders with a formula and a vision — not yet commercial
  • Brands that need proof of concept before committing to large minimums
  • Entrepreneurs who want a manufacturing partner, not just a vendor
  • Teams ready to move fast and learn faster

"We work with a small number of Studio brands each year. The ones we choose get real attention — from operators who have built brands, not just filled orders. When you're ready to scale, you already know exactly where you're going."

Scale Without Switching Partners

Start at 300 gallons. Ship your first national pallet. Never change your co-packer. RCB grows with you. No re-qualifying. No new audits. No starting over.

One Relationship. Three Facilities.

One contract, one point of contact, one invoice. The logistics, sourcing, and production coordination across our network is our problem. Not yours.

Founder-Grade Expertise

We have sat in your seat. We understand early-stage cash flow, retail timelines, and what it takes to get product to shelf. Small runs are not afterthoughts here.

Full Compliance Stack

DSP, Farmer Brewery, Winery, and SQF Certified. Alcohol and non-alcohol. Covered from day one. No expensive workarounds.

R&D That Validates Before You Produce

Sensory eval, benchmarking, profile matching. We stress-test your formula before a single can goes down the line. No guessing.

Retail-Ready Output, Every Run

Every run comes out shelf-ready. Cartons, trays, case boxes, e-commerce-ready pack-out. From production floor to store shelf with zero rework.

Compliance and Certifications

You should not have to think about this.

Who We Are

Built by operators.
Not by a spreadsheet.

Andrew Guard co-founded Culture Pop Soda, spent years inside one of the most iconic founder-built beverage companies in New England, then built his own brand, Winch and Pulley, from the ground up. He has been on every side of the table this industry has.

The gaps in beverage co-packing were personal. Small brands treated as afterthoughts. Minimums that blocked early launches. A disconnect between what founders needed and what the industry offered. So he built the thing he wished had existed.

RCB is not a commodity processor. It is a selective partner. We take a small cohort of brands at a time because attention is finite and momentum is everything.

Solving Problems are the superpower. Simple brands win. Hustle beats hype. Every time.
