Introducing the Lone River Collective, a One-Stop Destination for the Ultimate Western Experience Featuring Country Powerhouse Miranda Lambert with Performances by Ashley Cooke and Kameron Marlowe
NEW YORK, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lone River rolls into the Lone Star State serving up fresh new flavor and possibilities in a one-of-a-kind celebration of the modern West and those who embody its unique spirit. Ahead of one of country music's biggest nights, Lone River will raise a can to its flavor-forward new look and delicious NEW Blackberry Ranch Water at the first-ever Lone River Collective.
On Wednesday, May 15, the Lone River Collective will open its doors for a gathering of like-minded trailblazer brands and performances from country music's hottest newcomers. Also making an appearance is Miranda Lambert, a true icon of the trailblazing spirit, whose enduring presence atop the country charts speaks volumes. In her second year of partnership with Lone River, it's no surprise that Lambert, who has been a fan of the brand and its founder, Katie Beal Brown since they arrived on the scene, embraces the newest flavor offering given her roots in Lindale, Texas, was once celebrated as the Blackberry Capital of the World.
"I grew up picking blackberries in Lindale and canning them with my mom - and now I'm a big fan of muddling them in my cocktails," laughs Lambert. "Katie and I share a lot of values from how we grew up in Texas. She's as authentic as they come and I'm excited to continue watching her blaze this trail forward."
The Lone River Collective will bring together like minded brands in celebration of the shared entrepreneurial spirit they were built on and invites guests to drop by to score custom merch, enjoy delicious Texas bites and refreshing tasting Lone River Ranch Water and Ranch Ritas, against the backdrop of epic performances heading into summer.

The Lone River Collective is giving the Lone Star State the first taste of its NEW Blackberry Ranch Water before rolling out nationwide this month. An homage to its Texas roots and the state's beloved homegrown fruit, the new flavor is made with organic agave nectar, a delicious mix of juicy blackberries and tart key lime finish. The highly anticipated new flavor has already set its sights on joining the ranks of the other delicious award-winning tequila-inspired beverages in the Lone River portfolio.
"Lone River was built with a pioneering spirit, but as pioneers, we never settle. We are blazing a trail into the next frontier by celebrating the craftsmanship that defines the American West," says Katie Beal Brown, Founder & CEO of Lone River Beverage Co. "The new blackberry flavor and reimagined packaging are just a few examples of how we will continue to evolve and push boundaries in the modern West space, especially as it cements its place in mainstream culture."
Recently heralded one of the Best Hard Seltzers of 2024 by Wirecutter, the OG Ranch Water's new brand and flavor-forward packaging pays tribute to an authentic western way of life. The reimagined Lone River logo was created by a West Texas blacksmith using real branding irons, and the newly designed Lone River Ranch Rita pack was inspired by the intricate stitching that's become synonymous with cowboy boots.
