Crude Energy Beverages Inc., a North American beverage company built around the people who keep industries moving, will participate in the ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session, September 14-17 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Crude Energy will introduce its growing beverage portfolio to retailers as the company expands its presence in the U.S. market. The lineup includes Crude Energy energy drinks, flavored teas and Crude Brew Coffee.

But behind the products is a brand with a very specific audience.

Crude Energy was created for the working class, including the men and women working in oil and gas, construction, trucking, farming, welding, mechanics, skilled trades and other jobs that keep North America running.

“We built Crude for the people putting in long shifts, getting their hands dirty and getting the job done every day,” said Cory Yeik, president of Crude Energy Beverages. “These are our people. We understand the work, we understand the lifestyle, and we wanted to build a beverage brand that actually speaks to them.”

The roots of Crude Energy go back to 2012, when the founders created Rig Pig Apparel to provide clothing and personal protective equipment for workers in the oil and gas industry. The response to the brand helped inspire the idea of developing beverages around the same working-class community.

Crude Energy beverage formulations were developed beginning in 2019, but the company's original plans to enter the U.S. market were interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The founders continued developing the business, expanding into Crude Brew Coffee and other beverages before resuming their plans for broader North American distribution.

Today, the Crude Energy lineup is led by bold energy drink flavors including Fossil Fuel, Heavy Crude and Overtime Blues. The company also offers flavored teas and Crude Brew Coffee.

Crude Brew is made with Honduran coffee beans sourced from a group of 72 farmers and is available in Dark Roast and Medium Roast varieties, with a Black Gold roast also developed for the line.

For CEO Kimberley Johnson, Crude Energy's participation at ECRM represents another step toward getting the company's products in front of more of the consumers the brand was created to serve.

“The working class is a huge part of this country, but you don't see many beverage brands built specifically around them,” Johnson said. “Crude Energy is. Whether you're on a rig, behind the wheel of a truck, working a construction site or putting in hours on a farm, we want you to look at a can of Crude and know exactly who it's for.”

Crude Energy's brand message is summed up in a simple question: What Fuels You?

At ECRM, the company will participate in scheduled meetings with buyers representing major health, specialty, food, drug and mass retail channels as it works to expand its U.S. retail footprint.
