Vancouver-based multi-brand beverage start-up, focusing on innovative product and brand concepts for distribution across Canada, MOD Beverage Inc, has obtained assets from the now-defunct TBA Beverage (formerly known as Craft Collective Beerworks and Factory Brewing). Assets include the beer brands Spectrum Beer, Haus Lager, Phantom Beer and the Canadian operations of Seattle-based Odin Brewing, as well as the brewing facility in Vancouver, B.C.

While MOD will retain the brewing, operations and sales staff from TBA Beverage, MOD will feature a new ownership and management structure with founders Alex Milne and Paul Mroczek, serving as CEO and President at the helm.

“We see MOD as a way to merge the large-scale distribution model of a Diageo or a MolsonCoors with the quality and imagination of the craft breweries that we love,” said Mroczek. “We’re really all about getting great brands and great products to as many Canadians as possible – beer, wine, cider, you name it.”
