Study Break Hard Seltzer
 |
Beverages |
In 2019, Sean, a student at USC, identified a gap in the market for flavored malt beverages that were lower in sugar and had a better taste. After experimenting with drink formulations and gathering feedback from friends, he launched Study Break in March 2020, initially on draft in LA bars. Following the pandemic, he pivoted to canning the product and successfully expanded distribution to local stores. The brand aims to embody the spirit of Los Angeles, catering to a diverse audience. |
