Modern Alchemist

Modern Alchemist Co. was founded by cousins Nathan Kelischek and Chris Zieber, driven by a passion for experimentation and a desire to create extraordinary beverages that blend the artistry of flavor with the science of innovation. With over a decade of experience as founders of Appalachian Mountain Brewery in Boone, North Carolina—where they crafted award-winning beers and ciders rooted in a love for the outdoors and environmental stewardship—the duo now reimagines the beverage experience with THC- and CBD-infused mocktails. After reclaiming their independence in 2023, Nathan and Chris launched Modern Alchemist to push beyond traditional fermentation, offering refined, balanced, and flavorful cannabis-infused mocktails that deliver an elevated buzz without alcohol, perfect for wellness seekers, cocktail lovers, and cannabis connoisseurs alike.
