Tractor Beverage Company Celebrates Four 2026 FABI Awards

Tractor Beverage Company has recently announced a remarkable achievement, winning four prestigious Food and Beverage 2026 Awards for its Organic Craft Haymaker ready-to-drink line. Each flavor in this innovative line was recognized for its exceptional taste and quality, exemplifying a commitment to organic ingredients and delicious beverages that cater to modern consumer preferences. Notably, the Citrus Ginger flavor was distinguished as a "FABI Favorite," a recognition that underscores its standout appeal. This accolade was announced during the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show, showcasing the rapidly evolving landscape of the foodservice industry.

The Food and Beverage (FABI) Awards spotlights products that demonstrate innovative solutions and exceptional taste, impacting how restaurant operators maintain efficiency and enhance guest satisfaction. Out of numerous entries from around the world, only 28 products were honored this year, making Tractor's achievement a significant milestone in the competitive food and beverage sector. Tom Cindric, President of the exhibitions for Informa Connect Foodservice Group, highlighted that the FABI Awards serve to celebrate creativity and product innovation that propels the foodservice industry forward.

Kevin Sherman, the CEO of Tractor Beverage Company, expressed his pride in the recognition, noting that the Organic Craft Haymaker line was designed to reflect traditional farmer's tonics made from apple cider vinegar and fruit, adapted for today's discerning consumers. Each 12-ounce can of Haymaker contains a full tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar, alongside real fruit, 5 grams of sugar, and only 20 to 25 calories.

The four flavors that earned accolades include:

• - Apricot Peach: A sparkling blend of organic apricot and peach that delivers a refreshing finish.
• - Citrus Ginger: Bright citrus flavors paired with organic ginger provide a bold take on the classic switchel, making it the standout flavor recognized as a "FABI Favorite."
• - Dragon Berry: A vibrant combination of berries that is both lively and refreshing.
• - Passion Mango: A sunny tropical mix of passion fruit and mango, presenting a juicy blend perfect for warm days.

Citrus Ginger's selection as a “FABI Favorite” will be highlighted in an onsite tasting experience at the upcoming National Restaurant Association show, giving operators a chance to sample one of the most acclaimed innovations of the year. The FABI Awards are evaluated by an independent panel of industry experts, focusing on products that enhance kitchen operations and the overall guest experience.

Their organic offerings are not just about great taste; they aim to bring about a positive impact through environmental and community-focused initiatives.

This recent recognition follows Tractor's recent success at the Natural Products Expo West, where their Organic Craft Haymaker also won the NEXTY Award, reinforcing the appeal of their product line across various market sectors.
