Billion-dollar hemp-derived THC beverage category shows no signs of slowing down as Iowa-based brand marks back-to-back wins

DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sky High Brands has once again been recognized as a national leader in functional hemp and cannabis beverages, earning major awards for 6 of its products in the 2025 America's Best Beverage Awards, one of the industry's most respected national competitions for hemp-derived THC beverages. The top honor went to Sky High's Ruby Crush Sky Cooler, which took home the Gold (National), Double Gold (Regional) and Best In State.

The other latest wins for Sky High span both national and regional Midwest categories, underscoring the Iowa-based company's commitment to delivering quality, innovation, and exceptional flavor for American consumers.
