Our Story
Founded by students
In the summer of 2022, we stumbled across some home beer making equipment in a barn outside of our house. Motivated by the idea of free beer, we thought we would become the next great brewery on the Cape. However, after researching the market, we pivoted to an idea with even more potential - people loved hard iced teas, they loved spirit based seltzers, and there was not yet a product that combined what people loved about each of them: An un-carbonated tea made with real spirits and real juice. We spent the rest of our college careers building Cape Tide into what it is today, and we now get to work on the company full time as one of the first spirit based iced tea products to ever hit the market.
Where are we now?
Cape Tide is now sold in over 200+ retailers across MA, ME, and RI. We have two product lines in the market (vodka iced teas and tequila lemonades) and as we enter 2026, we are preparing for a large jump in our distribution. As a team founded by college students, we recognize the value that students bring to a growing brand. The internship program is a unique advantage we have in the market as we aim to build a community of Cape Tide consumers.
