SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cannabis Beverage Association celebrates Spec's, one of the country's largest liquor retailers, bringing Delta 9 THC beverage brands to store shelves with Pamos Cannabis Cocktails & Spirits.

"As consumers look to mix in alcohol alternatives to their cart, Spec's is meeting that demand by bringing in a diverse group of brands from the emerging Delta 9 THC category," said Lisa Rydman-Lindsey, third-generation owner of Spec's. "Pamos stood out because of their strong brand, diverse product offering, and their commitment to partner with us at retail to support consumer trial and adoption."
