Today I’m excited to feature another of the backpack brand winners from Startup CPG’s Mic Drop party at Expo East: Crooked Owl! Crooked Owl is the first probiotic, shelf stable, 5% ABV tepache brand on the market. They are also a member of 1% for the Planet. Through this partnership, they contribute one percent of profits to support underserved communities and sustainable agriculture practices in Mexico. We’re joined today by founders Cam Bailey & Dave Bailey. Mic Drop attendees loved Crooked Owl’s products, so I’m excited for you to learn more.

Listen in as Cam & Dave share about:


  • How they got started brewing tepache

  • Their branding process

  • Tips for navigating the highly regulated alcohol industry

  • Their Mic Drop / Expo East experience

  • And more!
