Getting to production day is rarely simple. There are ingredients to source, shipments to coordinate, problems to solve and plenty of unexpected turns along the way. But we’ve always had a fighting spirit, and there’s nothing more satisfying than watching the line run smoothly and seeing bottle after bottle of Uncle Waithley’s come together!

It’s especially meaningful when we think about how far we’ve come: from making our first batches in the kitchen at @theanchorspa to producing tens of thousands of bottles ready to head back out into the world.

And we always remember that none of it happens without all of you, who continue to believe in us, support us and reach for Uncle Waithley’s on the shelf. We never take that for granted.

Orders are going out, and we’ll be back on shelves very soon. When you see us, grab a four-pack, share it, tag us, and keep letting the world know who's your favorite Ginger Beer!

Thank you for continuing to be part of this journey. 💛

Went looking for Uncle Waithley’s? You’re not the only one. 👀

If we’ve been a little harder to find lately, it’s because a whole lot of you had the same idea, and the bottles went faster than we expected.

But don’t worry! We’re still here, still growing and getting ready to make more of the fresh ginger and Caribbean flavor you’ve been missing.

A few stores, bars and restaurants may still have bottles tucked away, so if you spot Uncle Waithley’s in the wild, tag us and let us know where you found it.

Thank you for looking for us, asking about us and missing us. We can’t wait to be back in your hands, and your glasses. ❤️

🎉 Happy 10-Year Anniversary, Anchor Spa! 🎉

Today is the official anniversary, so if you’ve been looking for a reason to stop by, this is it. Show them some love today—and then come back on Friday for the big anniversary celebration.

I gave Anchor Spa 5 out of 5 forks:

🍴 Food – Try the new Jerk Chicken Plate.

🍴 Vibe – Island vibes from the moment you walk through the door.

🍴 Craft Cocktails – Order a signature Rum Punch or an A Bris Through Town Mocktail.

🍴 Playlist & Vinyl – You already know it’s always bumping.

🍴 Community – You make this place what it is.

And honestly, that last fork is the most important one.

For 10 years, Anchor Spa has been bringing people together over food, drinks, music, and conversation. Throughout anniversary week, a portion of proceeds will benefit Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen (DESK), because this celebration is also about giving back and helping feed our community.

📍 Stop by today and wish them a happy anniversary.

🎉 Then join the official 10-Year Celebration on Friday, June 19.

🔖 Save this as your reminder

🌌🗽 NYC is basically Celebration Central right now—🏙️👑 ….

Cosmic timing: Right after I dubbed this dynamic drink duo as ‘NYC’s Best 2-Ingredient Drink,’ the city gave us a million more reasons to raise our glasses high to the NYC skyline! 🥂

A wknd like the one we just had is pure proof that 🎶 ‘History IS happening — in the greatest city in the world!’ 🎵 🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖤🤍💍⚽️🇺🇸🇵🇾🏀👑💙🧡…

& For times like these— (including an epic 53 yr Ttitle 🏀🏆Drought-Breaker!)— Let me note to you a Thirst Quencher—✨Extraordinaire✨— As all who try it agree: it IS “NYC’s BEST 2-Ingredient Drink” indeed! 🌪️⚡️:

Once upon a time not too long ago at a legendary place called @67orange, Eléctrico’s award-winning Lemongrass Mezcal Artesanal was artfully mixed with Uncle Waithley’s small-batch ginger beer… 🪄and magic emerged. From those not-so-humble origins, a star 🌟 (aka a “Slammin’ Sipping Sensation”) was born!

[Hit link 🔗 in bio for more, spirited storytelling and backstory on this particular powerhouse pairing 💛🧡]...

🍹 For NOW: You too can tap into the “Vincy Brew” + Eléctrico flow! … Said star sipper is making celebratory cameos city-wide, & Up Next: I’ll be serving tasting pours at @drinkplg THIS Thursday the 18th from 5-7 PM — a time and perfect place to keep the Knicks victory parade energy going strong! 🗽🏀👑🏆⭐️
Come see (& sip!) for yourself why this craft-cocktail style mixed drink’s been crowned 🎵”king of the hill”, “top of the heap!” 🎶 when it comes to simple yet sophisticated “sipping in the city”… Heck you might even 🎤”Start spreadin’ the news 🎶” too 📢

Every step, Every challenge, Every win (small or large) has brought us here. What started out as honoring Uncle Waithley himself - Founder & CEO @mrkarlfranz 's grandfather - has grown into something much bigger and led us to a place where we can continue carrying forward the legacy, culture and spirit he represents 🙏🏽.

We're in the FINAL DAYS of our WeFunder campaign, and just thinking a lot about what this really means. It's more than just raising money to continue expanding and growing the way we know we can. It's also about sharing something we've poured so much into.

If you've been following, supporting, sharing or just watching and thinking about investing - now is the time! We'd truly love to have you.
