Market Insights Snapshot
In the competitive landscape of cannabis-infused beverages, Not Your Father's Root Beer has demonstrated notable performance in California. The brand has consistently improved its ranking over the first four months of 2025, moving from fifth place in January and February, to fourth in March, and finally securing the third position in April. This upward trajectory is accompanied by a significant increase in sales, with a jump from $304,287 in February to $388,352 in March, and further growth to $392,362 in April.

Understanding the dynamics in different regions and adapting strategies accordingly will be key for Not Your Father's Root Beer to replicate its success in California across other states.
