Pharos Premium Infused Beverages has achieved significant recognition by winning multiple awards at two major national competitions, the 2025 America's Best Hemp THC Beverage Awards and the 2025 National PR%F Infused Beverage Awards. The company's full lineup of sparkling fruit beverages earned honors across both competitions, demonstrating industry validation of its approach to creating premium, low-dose THC drinks. At the America's Best Hemp THC Beverage Awards, Pharos captured an impressive array of awards. The Blood Orange Lime flavor received Double Gold for Best Low-Dose RTD nationally and Double Gold in the South Region. Raspberry Lemonade earned Silver nationally and Gold in the South Region, while Black Cherry received Silver nationally and Gold in the South Region. The Mango flavor was awarded Bronze nationally and Silver in the South Region.

The brand also celebrated wins at the inaugural National PR%F Infused Beverage Awards, where Blood Orange Lime and Raspberry Lemonade each earned Gold medals, and Black Cherry and Mango earned Silver medals. These achievements effectively represent a sweep of awards across both competitions for Pharos' complete product lineup. Co-founder Mary Bernuth, President & CEO of Pharos, launched the company with her partner Rhyno Stinchfield, Executive Chairman, in their 70s with a specific mission. "We designed Pharos to offer a clean, delicious, gentle-potency introduction to THC beverages," said Bernuth. "We wanted to create something seniors can trust, enjoy, and feel secure about choosing." The company focuses on creating alternatives to alcohol for seniors who want to relax without compromising health, clarity, or social routines.

Stinchfield added that the awards validate what the company set out to build: "a premium, thoughtful beverage for discerning seniors who care about quality ingredients, consistency, and a better way to unwind." Before founding Pharos, Bernuth spent decades as a therapist and executive coach, where she observed the impact of alcohol overuse on families, inspiring the company's commitment to creating flavorful alternatives. Each Pharos beverage is made with clean ingredients, third-party tested for purity and consistency, and designed specifically for seniors seeking an elevated yet approachable experience. The THC used in Pharos beverages is naturally derived from hemp and blended using organic emulsifiers and carrier oils. The company offers beverages in precise 5mg and 10mg doses, positioning itself as a trusted option in the growing infused beverage market.

The recent awards follow a series of accolades for the brand and demonstrate growing industry recognition for Pharos' balance of taste, light potency, and thoughtful formulation. The company takes its name from the ancient Pharos lighthouse of Alexandria, symbolizing guidance and clarity in the emerging cannabis beverage industry. These competition wins position Pharos to further engender trust through education and safety as the market for hemp-derived THC beverages continues to expand.
