Fathers, a California-based producer of organic American lagers, secured $2M in funding from Robert Irvine and several other investors.
Irvine is also joining the company as a Strategic Partner and Advisor, bringing decades of experience in food, hospitality, and consumer brands.
Irvine is no stranger to CPG; he previously co-founded FITCRUNCH and sold it to 1440 Foods in 2024.
Fathers will use the new capital to support its expanding retail footprint through sampling, retail activations, and local events.
In just five months, Fathers has grown from self-distribution in two California counties to working with 8 distributor partners representing 51 counties across California, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Fathers was co-founded by Joe Cloyes and Conor Begley, two seasoned entrepreneurs with experience across consumer goods and technology.

SO COOL!!! We are the #1 organic beer, cider, or seltzer brand in the US in terms of sales per door (the vaunted velocity metric) for Whole Foods!

WHAT WORKED
1️⃣ AGGRESSIVE SAMPLING - Whenever we launched a new Whole Foods, we set sampling at week #1, #2, #4 post launch then monthly sampling after that. This introduces you to regulars and builds a relationship with the merchants. Whole Foods makes schedule sampling SUPER easy. We also use our own team versus hired samplers.
2️⃣ ON PREMISE FOCUS - We hammered restaurants and bars in the areas surrounding the Whole Foods locations then pushed people to Whole Foods.
3️⃣ GEOGRAPHIC DISCIPLINE - We were offered a broader footprint of doors, but only took doors where we knew we would have sell through. This is hard to walk away from, but I think it's going to be incredibly important long term.
