Meet DER: The World's First Kratom Brewski

Welcome to the Party.

Finally, a drink that doesn’t ask you to sit out—it saves you a seat. Meet DER, the world’s first kratom brewski, here to flip everything you thought you knew about social beverages. This isn’t a stand-in or some watered-down wannabe. DER is its own thing: a buzz without the blur, bringing all the party energy you want with none of the hangover you don’t.

Born from Vision, Crafted with Passion

DER didn’t just appear out of thin air. This brewski is the brainchild of Nico Tortorella—actor, artist, and longtime kratom advocate who walked away from alcohol in 2015 and never looked back. For years, Nico has made kratom part of the ritual: a way to reset, soften, and focus. When he found something in kratom that felt both ancient and brand-new, he knew it deserved better than living in the shadows.

That’s where Korthals’ Collection comes in—the team bringing expertise, brewing know-how, and a shared passion for elevating kratom. Together, they turned a personal journey into a cultural mission that is rewriting the story of how we gather.

DER is where vision meets craft. Born from Nico’s story and brought to life by Korthals’ Collection, it’s sparkling, botanical, and crushable—loud in flavor, bold in spirit, and made to fit in.

Category Definition → DER. Its Own Thing.

DER doesn’t imitate — it invents. Not beer. Not seltzer. Not a stand-in. A crushable brewski with plant-powered cred and zero hangover tax.

Here’s how DER carves its own lane:

• Not Beer → No fermentation, no alcohol, no morning-after regrets. Just the ritual of cracking open a cold one, minus the blur.

• Not Seltzer → Seltzers try to please everyone. DER knows exactly what it is: a kratom brewski with attitude and purpose.

• Not a Stand-In → While other drinks pretend to be something else, DER is confidently its own category—authentic, bold, and built for the cooler and the crew.

Inside the Can: What Makes DER..DER

Let's crack it open and see what goes into every sip. This isn't some mysterious concoction—we're loud and proud about our ingredients:

• Grapefruit Forward Flavor
  Bright, zesty, and refreshing. Think backyard party vibes with a citrus twist that keeps things light.

• Mild Hops Oil
  Just enough to give you that familiar brewski feel without overwhelming your palate. It's the bridge between what you know and what you're about to love.

• Purified Water
  Clean, simple, letting the other ingredients shine without any weird aftertastes or unnecessary additives.

• Premium Kratom
  The star of the show. This ancient plant brings the buzz without the blur—offering focus, balance, and social connection that alcohol never could.

DER Tasting Notes

Picture your favorite cheap beer from summer BBQs—but reimagined for a new era and elevated with the power of kratom. It's something you can drink a few of without thinking twice, designed for those moments when one cold one naturally turns into two.

First Sip: Bright grapefruit hits with a clean, crisp entrance
Mid-Palate: Subtle hops provide familiar brewski character
Finish: Light, refreshing, leaves you wanting another
Overall Vibe: Like your favorite summer beer had a wellness glow-up

Kratom Deserves Better—DER Delivers

Let’s give credit where it’s due. Kratom has been stuck in the shadows for too long—misunderstood, underestimated, overlooked. This plant deserves respect. For centuries, kratom has been part of daily rituals, celebrated for supporting focus, balance, and connection.

DER takes that legacy and brings it into the spotlight. At the intersection of sobriety, creativity, and community, DER isn’t just a kratom beverage. It’s a brewski you can crack open and pass around in a way that feels celebratory, never stigmatized.

DER honors the plant and rewrites the story—moving kratom from the shadows to the center of the table.

Built for the Cooler and the Crew

Calling all sober(ish) people to the party. DER was made for real-life moments where what’s in your hand matters just as much as who’s around you. Here’s who gets it:

• The Sober-Curious → Looking for something beyond water and Diet Coke.

• Mindful Drinkers → Committed to wellness without missing the fun.

• Next-Day Thrivers → Celebrating tonight and still crushing tomorrow.

• Social Ritualists → Cracking a can for connection, not compromise.

• The Memory Makers → Knowing the best nights are the ones you actually remember.

• Intentional Gatherers → Looking for a cold one that’s less about escape and more about showing up.

Here's where DER really shines: it fits in. No more showing up to the game day party with something that sticks out like a sore thumb in the shared cooler. Co-created with Nico Tortorella, DER was built to belong—wherever people gather.

The DER Magic

Every batch of DER Kratom Brewski combines traditional techniques with innovative kratom integration. The process starts with sourcing the highest-quality kratom, then carefully balancing it with natural grapefruit flavoring and mild hops oil.

The result? A non-alcoholic kratom drink that delivers consistent flavor and experience in every single can. It's built for those moments when you want to drink, enjoy, and repeat—session-able, reliable, and designed to keep the party going.

Time to Bring It. DER.

DER isn't here to whisper about kratom—we're celebrating it. This is the first kratom brewski that proudly brings plant passion to your social moments, offering a buzz without blur that keeps you sharp, connected, and ready for whatever the night brings.

Cold can. Clear head. All party.

Whether you're new to kratom beverages or you've been waiting for something like this, DER delivers something entirely fresh: a social ritual that honors both tradition and innovation.
