About
A boutique beverage co-packer in Greenville, South Carolina.
We make non-alcoholic beverages in aluminum cans for brands that want a partner on the line, not a place in a queue.
The story
Built for the brands large co-packers pass over
Upstate Beverage Consultants is a boutique alternative to large-scale co-packers. We formulate, can, source, and manage supply chain for non-alcoholic beverage brands, with a specialty in functional beverages and hemp-derived THC and CBD drinks. Sparkling and still soft drinks, ready-to-drink coffee and tea, and non-alcoholic alternatives run on the same line.
We work with emerging brands on a first run and with established brands leaving larger co-packers or adding a Southeast footprint. We are selective about fit. That is what lets us give every project a pilot run on the actual line, a written spec before materials are ordered, and a team you can reach.
Two companies share the roof. UBC is the co-packing business. Rebel Rabbit is our own consumer beverage brand, made on the same line, which means we run our own product through the same checks we run yours.
The facility
One line, run with attention
Our seven-acre property at 6 Whitlee Ct in Greenville fills aluminum cans for still and carbonated non-alcoholic products in pre-printed 12 oz sleek, 12 oz standard, 8 oz sleek, and 16 oz standard formats. Client-supplied materials are received against a purchase order and tracked by lot through production. Finished goods ship to your distributor or stay with us until you call for them.
Every run is visible in the client portal. Formats and options are listed on the capabilities page, and the full process is on how it works.
The team
The people on the call are the people on the line
There is no sales layer. The team you meet on the exploratory call is the team that formulates, runs the pilot, and signs off on release. Questions go to the person who knows the answer.

Why "Upstate"
Named for the corner of South Carolina we work in
The Upstate is the northwestern region of South Carolina, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, with Greenville at its center. It sits roughly two hours from both Charlotte and Atlanta, which is why most of the brands we produce for are in the Carolinas, Florida, and the wider Southeast, with others shipping from as far as New England, Texas, and Montana.
Whether you are an emerging brand on a first run or an established brand moving production, start with the project form.
