Our story.
How it all started
Wild Bill’s Craft Beverage Company began as an event experience company centered around great-tasting soda and traveling Wild West themed pop-up retail activations more than twenty years ago. It wasn’t until recently that Wild Bill’s re-emerged and transformed into a veteran-owned and operated business dedicated to not just making amazing craft beverages, but now one that is rooted in purpose, committed to helping our nation’s heroes.
The early years
Following a visit to a Warrior Reunion Foundation Retreat, U.S. Navy Veteran Michael Quilty realized that many veterans couldn’t easily translate their skills into professions after leaving the military. The operational nature of Wild Bill’s traveling Wild West themed pop-up retail activations was a perfect fit for veterans aspiring to apply their military talent to pursue a life as an entrepreneur.
Event success
We started as an experiential beverage company, and will continue to travel the country, even as our brand portfolio grows. We’ve attended thousands of events including: New York Comic Con, Anime Expo (Los Angeles), FanX Salt Lake, Orlando MegaCon, Ohio State Fair, National Apple Harvest (PA), Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Miramar Air Show, and Phoenix Fan Fusion.
Retail success
Since going into retail last October, we’ve experienced explosive growth - 450%. We have a retail footprint at more than 300 retailers nationwide. Our strategic focus is on on-premise retail. Experience-focused and independently-owned establishments create a special atmosphere that is hard to replicate elsewhere, with loyal customers that appreciate unique experiences.
