Get an inside look at Blake’s Beverage Company on this episode of Neat & Mixed Questions as we sit down with CEO Andrew Blake to explore the journey from a family farm to one of the largest independent cider companies in the country. Andrew shares how the Blake family’s agricultural roots have shaped the company’s culture, approach to innovation, and growth strategy as the brand has expanded from a regional favorite into a national beverage company.

We also discuss the changing beverage landscape, why cider and ready-to-drink categories continue to grow, and how Blake’s continues to develop new products while staying connected to its farming heritage. Andrew talks about consumer trends, product innovation, misconceptions about cider, recent collaborations, the company’s expanding portfolio, and the significance of celebrating both the 80-year milestone of the family farm and America’s 250th anniversary.
