Gold Coast Eagle Distributing partnership marks a significant commercialization milestone for Elysium's beverage portfolio and ONE ROQ's next phase of retail expansion.

NEW YORK — October 16, 2026 — Elysium Brands, an operator-led venture platform focused on developing and scaling businesses across consumer brands, technology and emerging industries, announces a significant commercial milestone for beverage portfolio company ONE ROQ Spirits, LLC, following its newly announced distribution agreement with Gold Coast Eagle Distributing, a member of the broader Anheuser-Busch-aligned distribution network.

The agreement establishes Sarasota and Manatee Counties, Florida, as the initial markets for ONE ROQ's return to physical retail, with commercial activation targeted for mid-March 2027.

The development represents an important step in ONE ROQ's evolution from a premium spirits brand into a digitally enabled beverage platform, combining consumer products, membership, proprietary demand-generation capabilities and emerging ready-to-drink cocktail offerings.

Advancing Commercialization Across the Elysium Portfolio

ONE ROQ's latest milestone reflects Elysium's broader investment philosophy: identifying differentiated businesses, strengthening their underlying operating infrastructure and positioning them for scalable commercial growth.

Following several years of investment in digital commerce, consumer engagement and demand-generation capabilities, ONE ROQ is preparing to bring those assets into traditional retail distribution through an established regional partner.

The company's developing Single Serve portfolio, including premium Ready-to-Pour canned cocktails, is expected to complement its flagship vodka offerings and create additional opportunities across evolving beverage consumption occasions.

A Differentiated Approach to Consumer Brand Growth

Central to ONE ROQ's strategy is its member-powered business model, which connects an established national consumer community with product development, retail demand signaling and market activation.

Through its proprietary Carry Request™ platform, ONE ROQ has reported more than 10,000 open requests across licensed retail accounts nationwide, providing an additional source of consumer demand intelligence as the company enters new markets.

The initial Florida launch is intended to establish a repeatable commercial model that integrates digital consumer engagement with established distributor and retailer relationships.

Successful execution could provide a foundation for broader Florida expansion and additional distribution partnerships.

Building Long-Term Portfolio Value

For Elysium, the announcement underscores the importance of operational development, strategic partnerships and commercialization milestones in building enduring portfolio businesses.

ONE ROQ's expansion strategy illustrates how established consumer brands can leverage technology, proprietary consumer relationships and disciplined market execution to pursue new growth opportunities.

The Florida launch represents an important next step in that strategy, with production planning and commercial preparations currently underway.
