Pharos Premium Infused Beverages Sweeps Two National Hemp THC Beverage Competitions For Their Full Lineup of Flavors

Pharos, the rapidly emerging infused beverage brand known for its clean ingredients and delicious flavor profiles, has won multiple top-tier awards at two major national competitions, the 2025 America’s Best Hemp THC Beverage Awards and the 2025 National PR%F Infused Beverage Awards. Further cementing their reputation as one of the most trusted premium THC drink brands in the country. As a company dedicated to guiding seniors into the safe harbor of legal hemp beverages, Pharos continues to serve as a beacon in the industry, much like the ancient lighthouse for which it’s named.

At the America’s Best Hemp THC Beverage Awards, Pharos captured an impressive lineup of honors across its sparkling fruit beverage lineup:

• Blood Orange Lime - Double Gold (National: Best Low-Dose RTD) + Double Gold (South Region)
• Raspberry Lemonade - Silver (National) + Gold (South Region)
• Black Cherry - Silver (National) + Gold (South Region)
• Mango - Bronze (National) + Silver (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, and
• Black Cherry and Mango earned Silver.

These achievements, effectively sweeping the awards across both competitions, follow a series of recent accolades for the brand and demonstrate the growing industry recognition for Pharos’ balance of great taste, light potency, and thoughtful formulation, positioning the company to further engender trust through education and safety.

Co-founder Mary Bernuth, President & CEO of Pharos, launched the company with her partner in life and business, Rhyno Stinchfield, Executive Chairman, in their 70s. Their mission: to create a delicious, mindful alternative to alcohol for seniors who want to relax without compromising their health, clarity, or social routine.

“Winning Double Gold, Gold, and Silver across these respected competitions is incredibly meaningful,” said Mary Bernuth, President & CEO of Pharos. “We designed Pharos to offer a clean, delicious, gentle-potency introduction to THC beverages. We wanted to create something seniors can trust, enjoy, and feel secure about choosing.”

Rhyno Stinchfield, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder, added:

“These awards validate what we set out to build: a premium, thoughtful beverage for discerning seniors who care about quality ingredients, consistency, and a better way to unwind. We’re proud to see judges across two national competitions recognize the craftsmanship behind Pharos.”

Before founding Pharos, Mary spent decades counseling individuals and couples as a therapist and executive coach, where she saw firsthand the impact alcohol over use can have on families. This perspective inspired their commitment to crafting a flavorful, sessionable alternative delivered in a precise, consistent 5mg and 10mg dose.

Each Pharos beverage is made with clean ingredients, third-party tested for purity and consistency, and designed specifically for seniors who want an elevated yet approachable experience. The THC used in Pharos beverages is naturally derived from hemp and blended using organic emulsifiers and carrier oils, ensuring clarity, consistency, and safety in every can.
