Market Manager - Northeast Wisconsin

Drink Wisconsinbly started in 2013 with a simple idea, a bold logo, and a whole lot of Wisconsin pride. What began as a t-shirt quickly grew into a full-on celebration of the Wisconsin way of life — apparel, stories, events, bars, gift shops, and a community of people who know that "Wisconsinbly" is more than a word. It's a way to live.

As the brand grew, so did the thirst. Fans weren't just wearing Drink Wisconsinbly, they were living it at tailgates, supper clubs, lake houses, festivals, backyard cookouts, and corner bars across the state. So we did what any proper Wisconsin brand would do: we started making drinks.

The Drink Wisconsinbly Beverage Co. began with DW Brandy, a smooth, approachable spirit made for Wisconsin's most sacred cocktail tradition: the Brandy Old Fashioned. From there, we took that supper club favorite and made it ready to enjoy anywhere with our canned Brandy Old Fashioned — bringing the classic Wisconsin cocktail out of the bar and into coolers, boats, backyards, and game-day gatherings.

But we didn't stop there. We continued to grow with a lineup of ready-to-enjoy Vodka Cocktails, crafted to be crisp, flavorful, and easy to enjoy wherever fun is had. From bright citrus to sweet-and-tart fruit flavors, each cocktail carries the same spirit that started the brand in the first place: good taste, good times, and a little Wisconsin attitude in every can.

What began as a t-shirt has become a toast — to Wisconsin, to the people who live it, and to drinking Wisconsinbly wherever the day takes you.
