The Tinley Beverage Company with Rick Gillis today on Plant Prophets only on Cannabis Radio! The Tinley Beverage Company was founded with a mission to help consumers enjoy cannabis in familiar, classic beverages, Micro-Dosed to perfection. Our multi-serve brand, Tinley’s ’27, pays homage to the year 2727 BC, the earliest recorded use of medical cannabis. It is also a tip of the hat to 1927, the year prohibition ended in Ontario, Canada, from which some of their team members hail. The end of prohibition, like the passage of Prop 64, heralded the birth of many classic beverage alcohol brands enjoyed to this day in North America and around the world. Tinley Beverage Company believes it’s time for a new, healthy and delicious way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis, smoke-free. Non-Alcoholic Tinley’s™ Tonics and Tinley’s ’27 products are lower in sugar and calories than their beverage alcohol counterparts. And Tinley’s drinks are created with cannabis strain varieties that are sought after by consumers, in harmony with their range of contemporary lifestyles and tastes. They're a team of experienced cannabis and beverage experts, committed to excellence in the formulation, sourcing, production, and distribution. Tinley has found the finest, fast-onset cannabis distillate from Northern California, and we craft it with premium essences of spirits and liqueurs and terpenes for a full-flower effect. The result is our ready-to-drink Tinley’s Tonics Stone Daisy and High Horse, and our multi-serve Tinley’s ’27 Elixirs, Coconut Cask, Cinnamon Cask, and Almond Cask.
