Spirits-based canned seltzer brand Talkhouse Encore announced a partnership with Mancini Beverage, a family-owned distributor with over 60 years of experience serving the Connecticut market. This collaboration marks Talkhouse Encore’s official debut across the entire state, bringing its lineup of spirits-based seltzers to shelves and menus at local retailers and restaurants for the very first time.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Mancini Beverage, a family-owned company like ours, and introduce Talkhouse Encore to Connecticut,” said Ruby Honerkamp, founder of Talkhouse Encore, in a news release. “Mancini Beverage’s reputation for quality distribution, strong local presence and longstanding relationships with retailers make them the perfect partner to help us grow in this new market. Both being family-owned businesses, we share a commitment to quality and community, and we look forward to offering Connecticut consumers a refreshing new option in the spirits-based seltzer category.”
“Talkhouse Encore isn’t just about what’s in the can — it’s about what it represents,” added Ryan Randolph, brand development manager at Mancini Beverage. “We set out to build a brand that resonates emotionally with music lovers and cultural tastemakers — something that fits seamlessly into their world, whether at a concert, on the beach, or around a fire. As a distribution partner, we’re more than logistics — we’re brand builders. With Talkhouse Encore, we’re investing in something with cultural relevance, strong on-premise appeal, and serious staying power.”
