Mom. Founder. 
Coffee Lover. 

Hannah has always believed you can tell a lot about a cold brew by its color — that perfect shade that says good coffee with a splash of something good. She couldn't find it in a can.

The ready-to-drink aisle seemed to have two settings: black cans with names that sound like they could fight you, or coffee packed with protein, collagen, mushrooms and adaptogens — a whole wellness résumé she never asked for. She just wanted a really good cold brew. The right color. Made with ingredients that looked familiar. In a can she actually wanted to grab.

So while on maternity leave with her daughter, she decided to make one.

Brewing for years.

WAKE Beverage Co. was born on the shores of Lake Erie in Northern Ohio, but the idea had been brewing for years. Hannah spent nearly 15 years in food, beverage and hospitality, helping grow brands and businesses and picking up a few awards along the way. Becoming a mom gave her the push to finally build her own.

Hands on, every batch.

WAKE is made in small batches in a local kitchen. Hannah develops and tests the flavors, then cans, packs and delivers to retail partners across Northeast Ohio. She shows up at markets, visits and listens to the shops that carry WAKE, and shares what it actually looks like to build a beverage brand from scratch.

There are big plans ahead — but the goal is to keep the simplicity and personality that started it all. Great cold brew. Fun flavors. Familiar ingredients.

Sometimes you just want a damn good cold brew.
