We’re proud to be known as the fastest growing company in the ready-to-drink (RTD) category over the last three years having launched innovative and award-winning alcoholic brands that include White Claw, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, Mike’s Harder Cayman Jack, MXD and Rey Azul. On its own, White Claw disrupted the beer/cider/flavored malt beverage (FMB) category in 2019 and continues to maintain a major share of what is estimated to be a $14 billion market in the US today. As our RTD portfolio expands we’re also introducing premium high-proof spirits including company-owned brands such as Bearface Whiskey and Glendalough, who was awarded the Irish Distillery of the Year at the 2022 International Spirits Competition. Our newest disruption is White ClawTM 0% Alcohol come in January of 2024.

To enable this incredible momentum, we built our own in-house production and supply chain capability by investing more than $1.4 billion into three manufacturing sites located in New Jersey, Arizona, and South Carolina.

At Mark Anthony, we live by our 5 Core Values every day:

Sense of Urgency

Our business moves fast and so do we. We understand the power of now. We have relentless drive and believe it if can be done, we're the ones who will do it first.

Authenticity

We need to stay real because our brands, our stories and our culture must remain genuine to thrive. When we have the best intentions for all, we create space to be our whole selves and do great things together.

Simplicity

Our lives are complicated enough. So why use 50 words when you can use 5? We thrive in ambiguity and change, but we also know how to translate our goals into simple explanations and actions.

Humility

Egos distract us. When we're humble, we're open to listen, take feedback and change direction quickly. We're here for each other, and together we do great things.

Trust

We respect and rely on each other. Trust is the backbone of our relationships, and we work hard not to break it. This level of trust allows us to be all-in and take comfort in the support of our teams.
