The cannabis-infused beverage is the first from Novel Beverage, a Scarborough-based manufacturer specializing in what it believes will become the next big thing among adult-use cannabis products in Maine. Industry experts agree that beverages infused with THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, eventually will comprise a large share of the adult-use market. 

Novel’s foray into the market comes through a partnership with popular Portland brewery Shipyard Brewing Co. Another partnership with Bangor-based Sea Dog Brewing Co. will produce a THC elixir version of Sea Dog’s Wild Blueberry Wheat ale, scheduled to be released in a few weeks. 

The drinks, which are steeped using grains and hops, are designed to look like beer and in some ways behave like beer. But with no alcohol and their own flavor profiles, which the company insists don’t just taste like marijuana, the products are their own distinct beverages. 

Because of a process known as “nanoemulsification,” drinkers will feel the beverages’ effects in 15 or 20 minutes, according to Hawes, and they will last for about two hours. That’s a divergence from traditional cannabis-infused edibles, which can take an hour or more to kick in and several hours to wear off. The shorter high makes the drinks more “user-friendly,” Hawes said, and allows for better dosage control.
