Seattle, WA — January 7, 2026 — San Juan Beverage Company, the #1 craft seltzer in the Northwest, today announced it will be joining the Great Frontier Collective of Brands, expanding the collective's portfolio and strengthening its position as one of the largest craft beverage producers in the Pacific Northwest.
Founded in 2018 by Katy Enger, San Juan Seltzer quickly established itself as a premier craft hard seltzer brand with signature flavors such as Huckleberry, Rainier Cherry, and Fuji Apple. In just seven years, the company has grown into a regional leader, now sold across six states.
With industry-wide declines in alcohol sales over the past year, San Juan sought a strategic partner to help accelerate its growth. That partner emerged in the form of the Great Frontier Collective, which successfully brought together Ninkasi Brewing, Incline Cider, and Ecliptic Brewing to form one of the largest craft beverage producers in the PNW.
"Joining Great Frontier allows us to bring San Juan's unique Northwest flavors to more consumers than ever before," said Ron Lloyd, CEO of San Juan Beverage Company. "We're excited to collaborate with other pioneering brands and continue to lead the craft hard seltzer movement alongside our distributors and customer partners."
"San Juan Beverage Company brings a dynamic new partnership to our portfolio," said Nikos Ridge, Co-founder of Ninkasi Brewery. "Their success in craft seltzer complements our beer and cider offerings, and together we'll deliver even more variety and quality to customers across the region."
The addition of San Juan Beverage Company strengthens Great Frontier's portfolio, diversifying its offerings across beer, cider, and seltzer. The collective's shared resources, distribution networks, and marketing reach are expected to accelerate San Juan's growth and expand its footprint beyond the Pacific Northwest.
