Clearly Canadian

Pittsburgh, OH

Clearly Canadian is a natural products brand from Pittsburgh, OH with 32 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly water and kombucha & other functional beverages. 1 is Certified Non-GMO, and its range is distributed by UNFI and KeHE.

Back in 1987, more than 30 years ago at the Tillicum reservoir on Silver Star Road in the Monashee mountains overlooking Vernon, BC, a Canadian phenomenon was born. A local entrepreneur had the idea of mixing a little flavour to his crisp, cold mountain water, putting it into glass bottles and called it "Clearly Canadian". With a little help from the local bottling plant, he grew this little premium sparkling water brand into a sought-after favourite all around the world. As the 2000's passed, Clearly lost its mass distribution and in 2012 was bought by another sharp entrepreneur who restarted the brand with the same community vision. A self-created crowdfunding campaign managed to convince 14,000+ fans from 26 countries including every state in the US and every province in Canada pre-bought 40,000+ cases of Clearly. They then patiently waited as that cash infusion bought new bottling tools, ingredients, distribution, management, and 6 years later Clearly Canadian is back. And here to stay!
