Modern Alchemist was born from a passion for experimentation and a love for creating extraordinary beverages that merge the artistry of flavor with the science of innovation.

From Crafting Beers to Elevating Mocktails
Founded by cousins Nathan Kelischek and Chris Zieber, Modern Alchemist Mocktails reimagines the beverage experience with THC- and CBD-infused mocktails, designed to give you an elevated buzz without the effects of alcohol.

Nathan and Chris bring over a decade of experience from their work at Appalachian Mountain Brewery (AMB), which they founded in Boone, North Carolina, in 2013. Drawing from their love for the outdoors, and a deep respect for the environment, the duo has been dedicated to crafting award-winning beers and ciders. After an adventurous journey with acquisitions by Craft Brew Alliance and Anheuser-Busch, they repurchased AMB in early 2023, reclaiming their independence and rekindling their creative spark.
Breaking barriers
This newfound freedom inspired the launch of Modern Alchemist Co., where they are now breaking boundaries beyond classic fermentation. Our cannabis-infused mocktails offer a refined, balanced, and flavorful alternative to traditional cocktails. Crafted with high-quality ingredients and innovative techniques, our beverages are perfect for any occasion—whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast, a cannabis connoisseur, or a wellness seeker.
