The latest food and beverage industry news and trend analysis

Functional beverage brand Culture Pop Soda has unveiled the first major product release from its strategic partnership with multi-platinum recording artist Noah Kahan: Noah Kahan's Limited-Edition Sparkling Black Cherry.

The collaboration, originally cemented in October 2025, leverages the shared New England heritage of both the brand and the artist. The launch is distinguished by a "mission-first" commercial structure, aligned immediately with a $100,000 day-one donation to The Busyhead Project, Kahan’s dedicated mental health initiative.

A Reimagined Favourite

The limited-edition SKU is a reimagined version of the brand's existing Black Cherry flavour, identified as Kahan's personal favourite. It maintains Culture Pop’s "clean label" functional positioning, crafted to deliver a gut-healthy soda alternative without artificial sweeteners.

Technical Specifications:

• Ingredients: Organic fruit juice, herbs, and spices.

• Functional Benefit: Contains a live probiotic strain for gut health support.

• Profile: A "refreshingly real" soda that avoids high-intensity sweeteners ("fake stuff").

The Busyhead Project

Unlike standard celebrity endorsements focused solely on equity or royalties, this partnership is anchored in social impact. The $100,000 donation supports The Busyhead Project, which Kahan founded to provide resources and information aimed at ending the stigma surrounding mental health.

Noah Kahan commented on the alignment: "The best part about this collab is that it's in support of The Busyhead Project... Having a partner that supports that mission means the world to me. Culture Pop is the real deal. It's not full of the fake stuff; it's good for your gut, and Black Cherry is genuinely my favourite Culture Pop flavour to drink."

Tom First, Founder and CEO of Culture Pop Soda (and previously co-founder of Nantucket Nectars), highlighted the authenticity of the partnership:

Future Roadmap

Following the product launch, the brand has confirmed that the partnership will continue through a series of community-driven activations, including events, giveaways, and further charitable initiatives.
