Austin-based Tenneyson Relaunches as New Plant-Based Alcohol Alternative

AUSTIN, Texas - Nov. 15, 2021 - PRLog -- Tenneyson, is re-launching as a new, plant-based (better-than) alcohol alternative. Formerly a craft spirit brand, Tenneyson is now targeting the quickly emerging space between functional beverages and alcohol alternatives with the support and energy of a new team.

The Tenneyson team consists of Managing Partner, Graham Wasilition, who leads the brand with co-founder Michael Bumgarner. Michael is also the founder of Cannuka, a better-for-you skincare line.

"Coming from the alcohol industry, the team at Tenneyson has a unique lens on why it's so important to push social boundaries on alcohol consumption. We feel it's mission critical that we support consumers who are focusing on their physical and mental well-being and provide them with a worthy alcohol alternative," said Graham Wasilition.

Tenneyson is a complex, botanical drink that nourishes the mind and body without the harmful impacts of traditional spirits. Unlike other non-alcoholic alternatives, Tenneyson does not mock the flavors or effects of traditional liquor categories like whiskey or gin, and instead charts its own course. Introducing a fresh and bright take on what liquor or an aperitif could be, this better-than-alcohol alternative can be sipped either on its own, or fashioned into no or low-proof cocktails with a bold flavor profile.

Black Ginger is Tenneyson's first and flagship flavor that will be rolling out this Fall, supported by 'better-for-you' botanical ingredients like dandelion, lemon balm, black pepper, bergamot, yerba mate leaf, grape seed, gentian root, and the terpene beta-caryophyllene. Tenneyson has no added sugar, no caffeine, no artificial flavors or colors, it's low calorie, gluten free and is vegan-ish (*responsibly-sourced honey).

For the re-launch, Tenneyson has partnered with creative powerhouse, jeffstaple, who is the founder of renowned streetwear brand Staple, and creative agency Reed Art Department (RAD), to build out brand messaging, design and visuals. Jeff, with his expertise in creative branding and his personal preference to not drink alcohol, and the RAD team are guiding Tenneyson to bridge the gaps of mind, body and spirit.
