Why BevCanna May Already Have Pole Position for the Coming Cannabis Beverage Craze
New Opportunity: BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE:BEV) (OTC:BVNNF)
- Leader/Innovator in Emerging multi-billion-dollar Cannabis-Infused Beverage space
- Recently announced coming transition to full commercial-stage operations in coming months
- Set to become Canada’s largest organic outdoor cannabis cultivator
- World-class bottling facility about to receive full cannabis-infused bev production license
- Launching in California and Canada with Sales ramping in Q3
The big Cannabis-infused product bull market of 2019 didn’t exactly pan out like so many had believed following the landmark US Farm Bill, momentum from regulatory authorities, and a spate of high-profile Fortune 500 JV moves (ie Molson Coors and HEXO, Altria and CRON, Constellation Brands and Canopy, etc) that seemed to suggest the writing was on the wall for this transformational trend to get in gear.
What happens when everyone gets excited about a big investment theme too early? That’s right! A destructive and painful bear market. This has been story for the whole cannabis space for the past year.
However, given a purging in the pot stock space and new regulatory measures now in place for cannabis-infused beverages in Canada and California, the explosive trend in cannabis beverages can now take flight.
We believe two points are key here for investors: 1. Cannabis-infused beverage leadership investments will be far superior to non-beverage plays in the cannabis sector because of the higher barrier to entry in terms of facilities, expertise, and regulatory hurdles, and 2. BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (OTCMKTS:BVNNF) (CSE:BEV) is likely to emerge as the big speculative winner this year in that niche given a number of inherent advantages and a proactive production ramping process that has already started to take hold.
As the cannabis space heals, BevCanna is supremely positioned to assume a leadership role in a space that is defined more by new adopters than by long-time cannabis consumers. Growth is being driven by new cannabis consumers exploring the marketplace given the expanded legality of cannabis. And new cannabis consumers are, on the margin, more likely to choose new ways of consuming cannabis – ie, many don’t want to smoke it.
According to Brightfield Group researchers, cannabis-infused beverages will represent one of the fastest growing segments of the overall cannabis product complex over the next 10 years. Fior Markets found that the global cannabis beverages market could generate $4.57 billion by 2025. Companies delivering cannabis drinks in Canada in 2020 will be set up for market dominance over the next 5-10 years as the trend takes flight.
BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (OTCMKTS:BVNNF) (CSE:BEV) shares are perfectly positioned to capitalize on this trend, which makes the company a likely candidate for some M&A chatter as cannabis-infused beverages expand to conquer the North American consumer this year.

BevCanna’s Inherent Advantages
BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE:BEV, OTCMKTS:BVNNF) bills itself as an emerging leader in infused beverage manufacturing. The company develops and manufactures cannabinoid-infused beverages and consumer products for in-house brands and white label clients.
BVNNF has been in development-stage operations since IPO-ing last summer. According to recent company communications, the stage is set for a rapid transformation to full commercial-stage operations, with sales likely to hit full volume in Canadian and California markets starting in Q3 of this year.
The company runs a 40k sq ft HACCP certified manufacturing facility, with a current bottling capacity of up to 210M bottles per annum.
The facility is state-of-the-art, with the capability of producing custom bottle form factors and water-soluble cannabinoids. This opens up an immediately obvious leadership potential for white-label product development to complement the company’s in-house brands.
The company also has access to a 100+ acre outdoor cultivation site with an on-site natural spring aquifer.
The team is also a top-draw, with former leaders at Vega, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, and other top disruptive brands and companies in the functional beverage and wellness markets and highly-regulated markets, as well as veterans from Goldman Sachs, Frito Lay, and General Mills. So, they know how to commercialize into big market opportunities.
In other words, this is a company with a world-class facility and a world-class team. And they will be receiving their cannabis-infused beverage production license very soon (They already have the research and cultivation licenses).
There’s a high regulatory barrier to entry for the cannabis-infused beverage space. That will keep competition suppressed, leaving the big profits to be made those specialist players with the resources, equipment, expertise, and regulatory clearance to dominate this high-growth market niche.
BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (OTCMKTS:BVNNF) (CSE:BEV) may be the best of breed the publicly traded markets right now among companies that meet all of these criteria. More to the point, the company is on track to have some of the first cannabis-infused beverages on the market as this phase of the cannabis revolution just gets off the ground.
Recent Catalysts
The Company recently announced that it is significantly expanding its manufacturing premises in anticipation of receiving its standard processing license and initiating full-scale commercialization this year.
In other words, they’re about to gain access to a massive and thriving market looking for cannabis-infused beverages. And the company wants to be ready to soak up every dime of potential sales right out of the gate. So these folks, being experienced business leaders, are getting ready to meet that demand with an increased capacity to produce product supplies when the bell rings and the government says “Go!”.

“This expansion is an exciting step for BevCanna,” said John Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer at BevCanna. “We expect to receive our standard processing license imminently, and we’re preparing to initiate full-scale production in the coming months. We’ve seen a fantastic consumer and industry response to the upcoming Canadian beverage market, and this development ensures that we have capacity and full product offerings to fulfil the anticipated demand.”
Just before that, the company announced that it has entered into a definitive joint venture agreement with Mota Ventures Corp. (CSE:MOTA FSE: 1WZ:GR OTC: PEMTF), to exclusively distribute BevCanna’s hemp-derived products in the European market.
That followed the company’s announcement that it is working with partner Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. (Nextleaf) (CSE:OILS, OTCQB:OILFF, FSE:L0MA), to employ their nano-delivery technology in BevCanna’s upcoming lines of cannabis-infused beverages. BevCanna will have the exclusive rights to commercialize this unique technology, giving the company yet another edge as a market leader in white label services.
According to the release, Nextleaf, BevCanna’s exclusive provider of water-soluble cannabinoids, has completed its acquisition of the intellectual property pertaining to the nano-delivery of cannabinoids. The acquisition includes the foundational processing methodology and two water-soluble formulations. Nextleaf intends to seek patent protection around the acquired IP and to partner with BevCanna to develop a new patent family around infused beverages.
“The IP allows consumers to feel the desired effect from cannabis-infused beverages in under 10 minutes,” said John Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer at BevCanna. “We’re eager to commercialize this innovative technology in Canada; and to act as the exclusive beverage commercialization partner, through BevCanna’s branded and white-label cannabis-infused beverages.”
Looking ahead, the company expects to receive its full license imminently, and then begin full commercial operations. In other words, this is the most exciting time to come across this stock: right in front of its most dramatic and market-moving catalysts, including full-licensing, initial product shipment, expanding sales, expanding markets, topline growth, and everything that analysts and investors typically scan for when hunting new speculative opportunities.
Right now, you have a chance at it ahead of that crowd.
Technical Analysis
One of the key points to make here is the stock’s relative strength. The cannabis equity sector has been destroyed over the past 6-12 months, and many are still in crash mode. At the same time, BVNNF shares show clear evidence of a major accumulation bid likely by smart money working to expand exposure ahead of the coming parade of high-profile catalysts just ahead for the stock.
Shares are sitting above major moving averages, but well-consolidated and ready for a potential next-leg higher if trendline resistance above the $0.33-0.35 area is cleared. This breakout would be very well supported given the nature of the stock’s basing process, which came on rising volume and bullish divergence on MACD.
