Portland, Oregon (January 13, 2025) – Beekeeper Coffee, a ready-to-drink cold brew coffee brand bringing a new voice to the category’s next generation of consumers, announced today a partnership with the Portland Trail Blazers to bring a deliciously fresh taste to Blazers fans in the Pacific Northwest.

“Our extensive experience and network are central to sport culture, and we have a particular sense of what’s important to NBA fans,” said Beekeeper co-founder David Creech. “We know today’s fans are seeking more options when it comes to beverage offerings, and we believe having our core cold brew flavors plus our delicious Beekeeper Coffee Martinis will bring a fresh taste that Blazers fans are craving.”

Through this partnership, Beekeeper will have a branded cart on Moda Center’s main concourse that will serve all four core Beekeeper Coffee flavors – Vanilla, Mocha and Caramel cold brew lattes and a Black cold brew. All come with a drop of organic Oregon honey.

In addition to the core flavors, a select number of bar locations inside the arena will feature a special Beekeeper Coffee Martini for fans to enjoy.

"We're excited to partner with Beekeeper Coffee to bring their delicious ready-to-drink cold brew inside Moda Center," said Kelsey Hough, Director of Partnership Activation, Portland Trail Blazers & Rose Quarter. "It's no secret that Portlanders love their coffee, so adding ready-to-drink coffee options, plus a tasty Beekeeper Coffee Martini, to the gameday experience was an easy choice."

Having ready-to-drink coffee served in an NBA arena is another example of Beekeeper’s innovative approach to distribution through its network of sports, entertainment, hospitality and brand collaborations.

Beekeeper was founded by proven business leaders who have built and guided some of the most iconic brands in culture today. Fara Leff is the Chief Operating Officer of Klutch Sports Group; Paul Rivera is the co-creator of “The Shop” and co-founder of The Robot Company; David Creech is the co-founder of Adopt and Chief Creative Officer of Klutch Athletics; and Andrew and Nate Forbes lead the Forbes Company and were former owners of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
